Coffee & Cards with Deb & Celeste / March 2026

Well, Celeste has gotten me out of my comfort zone again with another sketch challenge for this month's blog collab . I'm not sure why I have a hard time with these, but this time it was relatively easy for me . How do you feel about sketch designs ??? Here's what we used for our March cards .

I saw an old favorite Rubber Moon stamp - Journal Girl - and thought she would be perfect for my card.  I was so sad when Rubber Moon closed but luckily, I have a nice collection of their stamps. I used the Cool Girl paper pad by Pebbles, American Crafts for the patterned papers on my card .

• I stamped the Journal Girl with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white cardstock and die cut it with a  Big and Little Chain Rectangle Die .
• I used the next larger die in the set and cut a mat from a piece of plum cardstock.
• The image was colored with my COPICS.
• A red clay heart was placed in her hair - like the barrettes I used to wear as a child .
• 3 mint green sequins were placed down the left side of the stamped image .
• I placed coordinating papers on a mint green card base to follow the sketch design.
• The stamped image was adhered to the plum mat and then to the floral-patterned paper.
• A chipboard flower from the Good Life Thickers collection from American Crafts was adhered to the bottom right corner of the stamped/matted panel .
• A Tim Holtz Small Talk sentiment completed my card .

Celeste is a pro at these sketch challenges, and I can't wait to see what she has made. Please take a look at her card over at Crafting Junky . Today my drink of choice is an Iced Matcha Latte . I'm using a fun cup I bought awhile ago and have had sitting on my desk. It's never been used so I figured now was the perfect time.  It even has a cool tea bag holder in the bottom that I will use next time for some hot tea. I just love the cat/sushi pattern on the cup !!

Thank you again for taking time out of your busy day to see what Celeste and I are up to this month . I'm feeling a little bit better about sketch challenges now and have Celeste to thank for that !! We will see you again in April .I hope Spring is bringing some beautiful weather to you, wherever you are .. Until nest time, stay creative.
