Tina Boyden: Sparklygirl Tina
My main passion is cardmaking, which I have been doing for the last 8 years or so. I love anything that sparkles and if I can add some sparkle to my cards then I'm very happy! I’m happily married and lucky enough to be at home full time and am kept company by my lovely little dog Tilly. She has a chair by the window next to me in my craft room and will patiently sit (or sleep!) whilst I’m cardmaking and blogging. I’m currently on the DT at Kaboodle Doodles. I’ve also had a card published in the “Best of British” which comes with Simply Cards and Papercraft magazine. I’m so delighted to have been picked as Guest Designer for Card Patterns challenge and really enjoyed making my card for this week’s sketch.

And here is Tina's fun take on the sketch:

Sketch 148

I hope you enjoy all the layers and possibilities of this sketch- I really enjoyed drawing it!



Lori McCroskey started Clear Dollar Stamps in the corner of her basement in October of 2004. Originally, all Clear Dollar Stamps were designed by Lori. As time went on, Clear Dollar Stamps attracted the talents of Laurie Wilson, Vicki Conquest, Kim Teasdale, Shawne Arnold, and Trudy Sjolander. Our goal is to provide the highest quality clear stamps, digital images, and products at the lowest possible prices! Clear Dollar Stamps does not have expensive or fancy packaging in an effort to keep prices low and to be as green as possible. We want EVERY stay at home mom to be able to afford stamps if she wants them!

One lucky random participant this week will win a $15 gift card for stamps or digis!!


Lea Lawson: Lea's Cupcakes & Sunshine
My name is Lea Lawson, and I reside in beautiful Missoula, Montana. I have been married to my wonderful husband, Josh, for 9 years, and we have two of the cutest dogs in the world- a yorkie named Bailey and a cocker spaniel named Sadie. I am a professional photographer, who focuses on weddings and senior portraiture, but also throw my hat in on some families and babies at times.
I have been crafting in some shape or form for as long as I can remember! When I was younger, I would use stationary items (Lisa Frank was my idol) and stickers, then cut up my photos (EEEK!) and arrange them together. The finished product would hang all over my walls and closet doors. When I graduated from high school, my aunt Amy gave me a scrapbooking kit, and that is when I was formally introduced to scrapbooking...
While I used to scrapbook more than I made cards, the tables have completely turned and I actually barely scrapbook any longer. I almost 100% exclusively make cards now, and I love it! The card making community is wonderful, and I have met some amazing women through it. You can see my work in publications like Paper Crafts Magazine/Special Issues, Cards Magazine, Cricut Magazine and occasionally in Scrapbook Trends Magazine.

And here is Lea's wonderful take on the sketch:
