Following the great example given to me by my dearest friend Laura, and now that I got Photoshop and we reconciliated after years of being separated (LOL), I decided to try my hand at sketching cards :)

Their main purpose right now is to be fillers for when I don't have time to post a card or some other project, and to serve as inspiration to all of you. I hope that, with time, this turns into a challenge of some sort. It'll also encourage me to sketch more and have some more ideas for my cards :)

This sketch has "08/05/07" on my sketchbook, it's obviously pretty old and the first one I made by myself. I don't know why the idea for this sketch has haunted me for months and I still haven't actually make it. Of course I had a lot of excuses: the set I had in mind ("Gently Falling", SU! retired) wasn't in my hands yet, I didn't had chipboard to make the big sign and then, I was a mess at stitching. Now I have set, as a personal challenge, to make this card as soon as I can, so it'll get out of my brain for once, leaving room for more ideas.

The layer on the left doesn't have to have a zig-zag edge, what I actually wanted to show was zig-zag stitching. Or could be doodling too (just thought of that one, lolz).

I also tried today (unsuccessfully) to install a small scrip that would make commenting easier for those non-LJ users who read me. I'll keep looking for an alternative for you, because I understand it can be somewhat of a bother to leave "anonymus" comments for you. I love to hear from you, so I won't stop looking for a script.

In the meantime, if you write me a comment, could you put your name on the Title bar? That way, when the e-mail notification arrives me, I can know who commented. I feel terribly wrong when someone comments on my cards and doesn't leave a name or weblog address because I don't know who to thank :(
