Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #60

WHOO HOO!!
I'm thrilled to share the news that I was last week's Gold Star Award Winner at the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge!  
How awesome is that!!



For this week's Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #60, I started out with the CAS layout but ended up with the FANCY layout.  That's only one of the really FUN things about this challenge!  

This is the "CAS" layout.  The image is from Magic Moonlight (link can be found on my "vintage creations & links" page) and the designer papers are 7Gypsies & DCWV.  This beautiful trim is from a package I just received from Joan's Gardens and it is Webster Pages Trim package.  (sorry, I think they have discontinued this line ... I was lucky to get one!!)


After taking the photo, I just couldn't help myself (it was too plain) I looked through my lace & flowers to see if I had something to match ... and YIPPEE ... I did!!


The lace is by Wright's, the pearl centered satin flowers are from Joann's, Prima flower and a Basic Grey Opaline half pearl gave me the appeal I was looking for.  (If you look closely, the flowers in her hand are the same shade of blue ... how cool is that!)


Well, I'd better get off the computer ... I'm meeting my friend Jane (Anything but ... Plain Jane) for lunch and I'm going to be late!  Yikes!!  Thanks for stopping by today ... hope to see you later today with my Crafty Secrets Challenge creation!

    Darlene-Congratulations on your Gold Star...you deserved it girl for that creation. I am just in awe of this very pretty image. I like that you used just enough of that pretty turquoise color to enhance the overall beauty of this lovely number. Another stylish vintage creation from you...I love it. Great job with the sketch. Thanks for playing along with us at Midnight Madness. It is always a pleasure to come and view your fantastic work!

    Darlene, you're killin' me with both these cards based on the CAS and intricate sketch challenge with Midnight Madness!! I hadn't recovered from the first one when I saw the 2nd version. They are both so BEAUTIFUL in their own way that I would have a hard time picking which one I liked the best. I'm kind of an embellishment fiend, so I would probably go for the more intricate one; however, on the CAS version it highlights the image more. Oh, I don't even know what I'm talking about. They are both dynamite and who wouldn't LOVE to have that beautiful trim!!!!!

    Thanks SO MUCH for listening to me chatter and think and for joining us this week and I hope you can come out to play again next week!!

    Hugs
