As you can see, I rotated this week's sketch from Keesh when I created my card! Chantelle is hosting this week's challenge and has added a twist of polka dots. So, when you create your challenge card, think about adding polka dots to your project :) and link it up on her blog!I was in the mood to play with blues and yellows so that's where the colours came from -- sort of a last ditch effort of summer colours before fall hits ... and it's coming ... I don't like fall. I love winter but not fall - too much mud and rain ... :)
I've made a video for this card so I hope you enjoy watching it and are able to pick up some different tricks and tips! It's really fun being able to create these although I feel a little odd talking to myself as I film it, LOL!
I had asked a few friends for some tips and insight into my last video and they recommended a few things to include! Here's one of them, the cutting measurements for the layers on this card :) I was going to include them in the video but I decided instead to include them right here in the post:

This is a beautiful card Renee, and I love the sketch turned on it's side like that!
Renee, beautiful card with a fun video. Keep it up.
Adorable, Renee! Your watercolouring is beautiful!
I love seeing what you create with the Greeting Card Kids set. The dainty little scallop border looks just so pretty! Nicely done. :)

This is just lovely Renee - such a beautiful card and I really enjoyed your video - you sound great and def. lots of little tips picked up along the way. Love the polka dots too. Have a great weekend x
The card is beautiful, I keep getting an error message on the video.
Renee--I'm so glad you've starting making videos. Great job! Love all of the tips and details you provide. I know this must be very time consuming--THANK YOU!
So sweet! I love these colors together, so nice and soft. Great video too. Thanks for sharing it!
ADORABLE!!!
Oh how beautiful and fresh looking Renee! I LOVE this set and it's on my wish list :) The kids are just adorable!
This is a gorgeous card Renee. Love the colours. Love the stamp.

What a GREAT card! I love how you used the "damask" (not sure if that's what it's called?!) from Friends 24-7 for the lovely background. I love how you showed us how you tie the ribbon too. It's those details that people really like to see - and how you "play with" your bow - that's something I've learned to get a LITTLE better at by practicing. And what a GREAT tip about using the round tab punch for a GREAT place and shaped sentiment! I never would've come up with that on my own! So I really appreciate that! I'm looking forward to more and cards and more videos from you!

Renee, I am over the moon in love with this card! You really do have such a wonderful eye for creating such artistic treasures. I've always noticed your smaller (thinner) mat size that you use on your cards, and while I doubt I would have thought to try that myself, I am trying it more now, and am loving the results. THANK YOU! I've also been enjoying all of your videos (keep 'em coming please), and am just now trying to play catch up here by leaving comments on your blog posts!! : ) Another avid fan of yours.. ~Barbara~ (EmptyNestMom on SCS)
