Sketch 2009 #13; Three's Company

I just can't get away from those little squares!
I hope you like this one with it's trios of small squares and long rectangles
This isn't the sketch I meant to post this week, but the card for that one is only half-made.
Not quite sure why this one leap-frogged and took its place, but these things happen lpl

I've used the lovely Pompeii collection from Dream Street Papers to make this one. The card itself is a tall thin mini DL size.
I've made another card using this sketch too (shock horror) but I'll put that on my regular blog tomorrow.

These sketches are all offered free for anyone to use - but please remember to give the credit if you use them - and don't forget to pop back and let me know so I can come and see what you've made

Happy Crafting

Sketch 2009 #12; Give it a Swirl!

A new month and a new(ish) sketch.
This one's a sort of "reverse" sketch - I made a card for a Bubbly Funk Kit project last month and now I've used it to make this sketch - is that cheating? lol
I liked the idea of using just simple strips of paper on two edges to make the main background, and swirls always seem perfect for pulling elements together, so I'm hoping that you'll come up with more ways to bring your own style and flair to this layout idea.
Please let me know if you use the sketch and I'll add your work to my links list.

This is my original card, looking forward to seeing yours now!
Happy crafting
