I did it!

I completed all 9 of Taylor's Cupcake Challenge Sketches before the deadline! Woo Hoo! This was a big challenge for me because I spend so much time on each card. In order to make the deadline, I had to scale back on some of the designs so they aren't all my usual style but perhaps I'm just showing my versatility, eh? So, I'm going to show you FIVE cards today. In order to be brief, I'll just tell you the supplies used. If anyone has any specific questions about a card, I'll post more details.

Before we begin, I have one item of business. Treehouse Stamps is without power due to a winter storm. If you have placed any orders recently or sent any questions in, they will get back to you ASAP. If you need anything right away, just let me know and I'll get you in contact with someone.

OK, here we go with the cards you haven't seen yet.....


Card # 1 (ok, a story on just this one....)
My sister and I share a love of Asian art so this is going to her for her birthday next week. I jotted this idea in my sketch book last week after watching The Incredibles.

Yay!! You did it, Michelle!! Your cards turned out great. I finished mine, but my camera battery died this morning while taking my final pics. Luckily, I have some time to get that taken care of.

Good luck in the drawings.
