Sketches4Cards

Anam Stubbington, founder of the Twisted Sketches blog and all around amazing papercrafter just released her Sketches4Cards app for iPhones, iPads & iPod Touch.

My iPhone arrived in just a nic of time! I downloaded this app yesterday. (I also downloaded Sketches2Scrapbooks, the scrapbook layout version of this app) and all I can say is what a handy little tool this is! The app includes 116 sketches and sample cards.

One of the new features for the Sketches4Cards release is the way you can search by theme of the card - love, baby, new home, hello, boy etc so your options are wide open for both product and event.

I was lucky enough to be included among the card designers featured on the app. Here's the card I made:
You can check out all the amazing (and handy) sketches in the app. There is a free version with 12 sketches, and  the full version (104 sketches, + the 12 free ones) can be purchased at iTunes for 4.99.

If I can tear myself away from my iPhone, I've got a crafty day ahead. I've got a layout in the works on my desk that I am loving. I hope I don't mess it up. (That new Studio Calico is one of my all time faves.) Also need to head to the Scrapper's Cove to pick up some new manuf. samples to make store displays. (fun!) Also...trying to figure out how to do some custom shapes in the new Silhouette software. Not exactly cracking the code here! Hope you have a fun day ahead!

Thanks for sharing info about this new app! I just dowloaded the free version for my iPad and it looks like a great app to turn to for when I need a quick inspiration boost. I might have to get the full version very soon!
