Ah....Saturday! Love this day of the week the most! Even better because this particular Saturday falls on a long weekend!! Here's to extra time to get stuff done!
To start your weekend off right, I have another take on this month's sketch. Wondering what I'm talking about? Check out the Monthly Sketch Inspiration tab at the upper right of this page and see the sketch and a couple of samples I created with it. Today I have another take on it...this time I've rotated the sketch to make a horizonatally oriented card. Have a look:

One thing to remember when working with a sketch is that it is only a suggested starting point for your creativity...don't be afraid to play with it! Here I turned the sketch on it's side and came up with a completely different look. What do you think of that metal medallion encircling the sentiment? Cool, eh? It is one of the new Soda Pop Tops that I ran through my Big Shot and squished! So easy and it doesn't hurt the Big Shot one bit! Just open your platform up so you're using no tabs. Put a cutting plate on the platform, lay the pop top on the plate so the open side is down, put the second cutting plate on top and run it through. You'll feel very little resistance when rolling it through, but the result is a perfectly squished bottle cap that makes a lovely embellishment! Try it for yourself...and while you're at it, try the sketch too!
Have a happy Saturday!!
