Toy's Haven

Hi Friends!

Way back in 2003, when I first began this hobby, I struggled to create anything that was unique.   I used the same sketch for nearly every card!  Then I was introduced to Splitcoaststampers.com and my world turned upside down.  This was back in 2004, when the site was not near as large as it is now.

One day I stumbled upon the challenges, when I was trying to figure out what those weird letters and numbers that people were using in their upload titles.   I gave it a shot and boy oh boy was I ever hooked.   The challenges opened up a world of creativity and options.   It really gets your mojo flowing and helps you to jump start your own style.

Today I did two challenges.   Yeah, I was feeling a bit on the crafty side this morning :).

First I did the Sketch Challenge (SC346 <—one of those funny number/letter things I just mentioned).

Ok, so I am going to admit right here, right now… I’m in love with this card.   I don’t often squeal over my own creations, but this one is saaaaaaaaaahweet!
