Try Stampin' on Tuesday sketch 110

Hi Lovelies,

Today I have another wonderful sketch for you from Try Stampin' on Tuesday & two cards that I made with the sketch.  I have discovered this week that I only have three birthday cards in my stash.  So with this in mind I decided that I needed to make at least two cards for each sketch that I do over the next few weeks.  Hope you don't mind.  I also challenged myself to use the same pp for each card but to use it in different ways.  So here are today's samples for you:  

As you can see I have reversed the ways I have used the pp.  I also used the same Copics, gems & sentiment stamp set on both cards.  What do you think?  I am so happy with these cards, I feel really proud of myself today.  No crappy cards in sight (woo hoo), despite the girls constantly nagging me with kidlet stuff  (in the good kind of nagging).  I don't even feel guilty for making cards today.  Especially after sitting at this craft desk for half of yesterday trying to muster up the Mojo to make something.

Well lovelies, I am off to try & create & comment on as many blogs before Doug get's up (then I'm off to do the vacuuming.)

Please don't forget about my little give away here.
