All this month in the Scraptiv!ty chat room the design team is focusing on fun and fast projects for summer, because lets face it, we’re all really busy right now! This month’s card sketch is sweet, simple and fast too:

Here’s my take on the sketch:

As you can see, there is a hole punched in the front of the card, so the embellishment can be placed on the inside, but seen through the outside of the card, too.

Now, time to announce the winner from the card sketch contest I held last month. The winner is Catherine with this bright and summery card:

Congrats Catherine! E-mail me at potaylor@hotmail.com with your address so I can mail you your prize.

Don’t forget, when you finish doing the word search, write a comment either here or in the Tell forum to let us know that you completed it and you’ll be entered in a draw at the end of the month! You receive one entry per completed puzzle.

This is the last puzzle, so you have one week to complete this (or any of the past puzzles) and submit your entries.

This time around, we are talking about Techniques. Our monthly kits are technique-based, so you always receive supplies to try your hand at the technique. This word search contains lots of the techniques that we’ve visited in our kits.
