I have broken the first and foremost crafting cardinal rule. A rule that's known, yet unspoken with true creative artists. I am so ashamed for what I did; I ventured over to the "other side" to make this card. I did not create one single thing on this card. Each and every item used was pre-made for me. I cut the paper and tied the bow. That's all that I did. I did not enjoy this. The saddest part about this card is that I could submit it to a couple of magazines and they'd publish it! I thought that I would give this pre-made materials, no creativity thing a shot, and didn't like it a bit. This will be the first and last type of card that you see from me doing this. There's zero creativity put into this and all I did was arrange the pre-made items on the card, and I had the sketch provided me as well! A kindergartner could do this and I think they still do in school. Off of my soapbox now so that I can introduce you to our challenge today.
Today is The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge 65. There's a spin to it and that is to use a tag. Korin always gives us an innovative sketch to work with and I think that I'll make a real card at a later date with this sketch. You can always go back through the sketches to use them at any time. Let's see your creativity flow with this sketch! And no pre-made stuff! God bless and have a fabulous day. Thank you for playing along with us!

oh don't be so hard on yourself girl. we all make "cheater" cards at least once!! when i use "pre-made" items it takes longer to make my card!! 🙂 it is a fantastic card. and that sentiment is perfect for my house! lol

I'm w/the gal that said these kind of cards take me longer, but everything w/pattern paper takes me longer! lol I say I'm pattern paper craft-dicapped!!! I keep pluggin' away though! lol Always love the challenge!
