CPS Sketch # 179

The {Stamps} of Life is sponsoring this week's Card Positioning Systems sketch # 179! Use the sketch to create a card using The {Stamps} of Life stamps or digital brushes, then go to the CPS website and link up your card! Don't have any stamps from The {Stamps} of Life? Well, why not?? You can still play, just go here , click on Digital, then download the two freebie brushes, print them and and use them like you would any stamped, cut out image! Easy peasy! And while you're there, order a stamp set or two - these stamps seriously ROCK. I've been stamping since 1995 and these are some of the best quality stamps in existence. AND, they're made IN THE USA!!! I just think that's so cool.

So here's my little card using the CPS sketch for this week - it also uses the one of newest releases, Sweet4Babies. I rotated the sketch 90°. I used a 3x5 blank index card for the base. It's the perfect size for a gift enclosure (and with the stage of life I'm in right now, you can never have too many baby gift enclosure cards!).

Word Challenge!

Time again for another card challenge from The {Stamps} of Life design team.

This week's challenge is to make your phrase the focus of your card
