It's All About BLACK & WHITE today!


Happy Tuesday Everyone!  
Well, it seems the storms are over ... at least for today!  And since I have established this entire week as CRAFTING WEEK ... I have a couple cards to share with you today.

"YOUR CHOICE"

My first card is for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #105.  I started out just doing the CAS sketch but ended up adding some bling so it would qualify for the FANCY sketch.

  8. Darlene...I've been itching to make a pink, black & white card. I need to look ahead at my DT challenges and see if I can make it work! I love this! The vintage image is so pretty and I love the plaid ribbon. Great job with Priscilla's sketch!

  11. Hi Darlene! I am sooooo jealous of a Whole week for crafting. It seems as though by the time work and family time are over there isn't much other time left over! Beautiful cards. I especially love your victorian lady one! Divine.
