CPS 5th Anniversary Day 2 with Linda Beeson and Gina K Designs

Welcome to day 2 of the CPS 5^th Anniversary Celebration. 

Thanks for joining us on day 2. 

I'm Linda Beeson and I have had the privilege of being part of the Card Positioning Systems team since it's very beginning.  I can remember when Tami asked me if I wanted to take part and even though I really didn't know exactly what she was planning, I am always up for a challenge.  I am so glad I said yes because this has been such a fun adventure.  I have found the value of using sketches for creating.  Too many times I just don't know where to start and a sketch gives me just the right lanching pad.  Plus, in being part of the team, it is always fun to see how each team member translates the sketch.  Since I started rubber stamping something like over 20 years ago, I have been a fan of making cards for a very long time.  Be sure to stop by my blog, PaperCutting Kind of Day, you can see what I am usually up too and you can also go back and see my many CPS sketch cards. 

For today’s sketch I chose CPS # 166.  When I went to decide on a sketch to use, I found it even hard to pick since there were so many I would have loved to have used with this stamp set.
