This is a single page scrapbook layout using the August 2022 Sketch Challenge from Creative Scrapbooker Magazine FaceBook page. I used Close To My Heart's Crisp Air papers and stickers to create it. The sketch would well with any paper. I really enjoy doing these "Sketchy Challenges". They are easy, effective and fun to do and help you when you are stuck and need an idea.

This is the 3rd braided card I've made. This card is a Welcome Autumn card! I'm so ready for cooler weather! It is easy to do this technique, thanks to online templates. It's worth a try for your own fun. I have a link to a template for your use. I also have links to the products I've used to make the cards.

This is a process video of a card that is a mix of the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge 487 and the Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge 510. I made a background using the one of the stencils from the Card Front Stencils Pack 2. I also used the September Stamp of the Month "enjoy These Moments". One of the new CTMH's Color Palette colors, Pine, was used and 2 existing colors, Nectarine and Mocha.
Here is the final product of these challenges:
After perusing Pinterest, I came across braided/lattice work cards. I had to try the technique right away! I fell in love, I guess because I always liked flowers and vines on lattice work. I was pleased with how easy it is to do this technique, thanks to online templates. It's worth a try for your own fun. I have a link to a template for your use. I also have links to the products I've used to make the cards.
