I thought that I would show you the progression of how my card came to be, or will be! The first card started out with just the lamp from the "Welcome Home" stamp set. The little squares around the edge are from the stamp set "Circle Around".

After completing this, I felt like something was missing. So, I went online to ask my fellow CTMH sistahs what they thought..... A few said something needed to be added to the left of the lamp, maybe the couch or the end table. A couple suggested adding random stamping to the blue cs. So, I did both....added a couch AND random stamping.
Now that I have it with and without the random stamping, I cannot decide which one I like the best. Any thoughts??
As I am posting these photos I am noticing that the cards are NOT straight.....kind of hard to do when dealing with a circle.....so please forgive the crookedness of the cards!
Well, I am off to watch My Sister's Keeper with my family! I hear it is really sad.......better go get the kleenex before I sit down.....
Hope to have inspired you to create your OWN circle card.....now that I have created one, I WILL be creating MANY more!!
Thanks for stopping by!!

For my sketch, I chose one that the talented InStyle Stamps DT member 

For my card I chose Lizzie from 

Once I had her coloring down, I knew exactly which papers I was going to use for the card! I pulled out my CTMH Blue Ribbon paper pack and started playing. The background was made with my Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder and Outdoor Denim ink was swiped over the top and the edges.
I used my Copic markers to color the image, although it turned out ok, I know that it could look better if I would learn how to shade! I had just finished coloring the image and was getting ready to adhere the paper to the Outdoor denim mat when I smudged the White Daisy CS that Supermom was on. SOOOO I cut out Supermom and pop dotted her onto another piece of CS.
This is the sketch that I followed to create my card. I love the sketches that the
