Nance Lempinen Leedy: Canopy Crafts
I live in the beautiful tree canopy of North Florida with my husband, our daughter and two feline friends plus a whole menagerie of woodland animals and critters. I am a Reference Librarian at our local state college and have been crafty since my mom taught me to sew at the age of 8. I am inspired by art, interior design and fashion. I became a Stampin’ Up demonstrator almost 2 years ago and it has opened a whole world of paper crafting to me that I love sharing with friends, family and blog readers like you!

And look at this elegant card she made for us this week. I love it with all the different patterns and the classic color combination or red, black and Kraft. Bravo, Nance!

Sketch 98

Happy Saturday, crafty friends. I hope you are ready for another sketch to jump start your mojo or to simply inspire you to try new things. I know when I'm not feeling creative, a simple sketch helps a lot to get back in the game. :-)

Here's our super fun sketch for you this week:

Craftbrulee is giving away the following prize to one random participant of our sketch:

Hello there! (: I am truly grateful and happy to be featured as a guest designer! My name is Khin. I’m 100% Burmese, nineteen-year-old and living in Singapore, a tiny sunny island. I’m the youngest of 3 siblings (and loving it!) and I live with my family. I just finish my Junior College and waiting for the result. I have the most amazing boyfriend of 19 months, Mitch, and I think he pretty much knows most of the things about card-making, whoops! *grins*

I started stamping about 6 months ago, but couldn’t make many cards because of school. But, now I’m officially on holiday till June, so yay! This is the very first challenge whereby my card has been featured and the very first time I’ve been invited as a guest designer. So I’m really excited! (: I’m really just a beginner at card-making but I’ve always been a crafty type! Hopefully, I can inspire some of you just like I have been inspired by many creative and wonderful ladies. Other than crafting, I love playing online games (many people told me, its such an “un-girly” thing to do :P), watching movies with a great company and shopping for cute dresses! (:

Look at this adorable card that Khin made for today's sketch. Make sure you check out her blog to see more of her sweet cards.
Craftbrulee provided the Card Patterns DT with some beautiful products that you see in the cards below.
