JFF - Trish's Sunday Sketch for my group

Sail Away! That's the name of this lovely stamp from Stampin' Up! and every time I look at it an old Christopher Cross song comes to my mind:
It's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me

It's not far to never never land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me


Sailing
Takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free


Fantasy
It gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me


It's not far back to sanity
At least it's not for me
And when the wind is right you can sail away
And find serenity
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me

Tweet, Tweet, Tweet - PCPCBC77 & CSBZNTS13

Tweet, Tweet, Tweet - PaperCraftPlanet CUTTLEBUG-ERS Challenge #77 color combo - pink, black and white. This card also works for CardSketchesByZacksNana Trish's Sunday Sketches #13.

When I saw this dp I just had to use it for these challenges. It's from Prima the Rebellious Coolection "Drama". Don't you just love those cute little birdies! I hand drew the focal image and added some rub ons from Basic Grey's Eve collection. The sentiment is from a Technique Tuesday set. I offset the Top Note die to create the focal image mattes.

Come join us at PaperCraftPlanet's CUTTLEBUG-ERS and if you like sketches come join us in my yahoo group CardSketchesByZacksNana to play along with some fun sketches.

Monster Wishes - June Sketch @ CardSketchedByZacksNana

Monster Wishes - to the left is the sketch and to the right is my card. I create a new sketch every month and post them to my group. Everyone in the group creates a card using my sketches. Then on or about the 12th of the month I assign partners and everybody mails their card to their partner. If you like to join my GROUP we'd love to have you. If you'd just like to play with the sketch that's fine too. Just leave your link in your comments so I can go see what you've created using my sketch.
Stamp is from Penny Black and I colored it with Copics and Stamipin' Up! ink using my aqua painter. DP is from Basic Grey and ribbon is from Cosmo Cricket.
