The sketch for CPS#84 looks like envelope or a purse on a card, I wanted to do one of those criss cross cards but couldn't find the tutorial but on SCS I found this trifold pocket tutorial instead. I found some double sided card and because of the black and red, the whole thing developed into an Oriental style. The papers are college press Grayson, the Chinese lady is from Hobby Art, the words are shock, horror Peel offs and so are the borders.
So I made the pocket and I wanted it to be display so I made a very simple black card, more peel off borders and use BG magnets so you can take the pocket on and off.
The tag again is very simple just stamped and coloured the dragon, more peel off borders and a bit of cardstock . If the light was better I would have another try and photo the dragon because I very careful used glossy accents on him and he's looks fabulous all shiny and slighty raised. Try clicking on the pic to see if a larger pic makes him look better.Of course going back to SCS to get the link for the tutorial I've now found the one on a criss-cross card, typical.
So since I've mentioned there's too many challenges and I'm giving the ones with sketches priority, this week it seems they're all doing sketches. Tilda & co is one of them and its such a cute sketch too and nice and easy, so why did this card take so long. I knew that Edwin and Tilda were going to sit within the oval, I love the swiss dots background but when I tried to put on embellishments or sentiments it just didn't look right. I spent ages moving things around, I made punched flowers, stamped sentiments and in the end I gave up and left it nice and simple.

Debie that Oriental card is awesome, love every single thing about it, and all that work you have put into it. Peel offs have there place don't they sometimes nothig else will do. I also love your Tilda card, they are so cute sitting there they don't need any embellishments.

I have realized some significant things through your site post. One other stuff I would like to mention is that there are various games out there designed in particular for preschool age little ones. They include things like pattern acknowledgement, colors, dogs, and patterns. These commonly focus on familiarization as opposed to memorization. This keeps little kids engaged without having the experience like they are learning. Thanks.
