fresh & fun

My emails will have to wait until tonight. I have my downline and friend Stephanie over and we are stamping. Here is my card for this weekend’s sketch challenge:

I picked the color combo (River Rock, Chocolate chip, Soft Sky) from the new idea book and catalog. If you haven’t seen it, it’s simply unbelievably gorgeous. The new sets, the samples and the accesssories.

The card base is 5 1/4″ x 10 1/2″ River Rock cardstock folded in half. All stamps are from the Baroque Motifs set. I just LOVE this set! The card is pretty simple in fast! I love those! A little bling (new Jewel Brads from Stampin’ Up!), a bit of paper piercing and May Arts ribbon and I was done.

Off to make some more of those so I can send them out for my previous challenge winners.

Hugs and smiles

Well….my work emails were down to 70 last night at 10 p.m. I worked all day. This morning the number was back up to 90. I hope to get done today. I haven’t made a sample for this sketch challenge yet, but I will! As soon as I can. I just thought I post it in the morning, so some of you might get to play already.

I found this layout in May’s Creative Keepsakes magazine. I think it was on page 31. I thought it would be perfect for a card. Shortly after I made my sketch, I even saw a card made with this layout on SCS. I can’t remember who made it though.

This week’s challenge will run until Wednesday morning at 9 a.m. CST. The winner will receive some retired SU triangle eyelets.

 To enter the drawing, post a card made with this sketch somewhere online: SCS, your blog, another site…. Then post a link to your card as a comment to this post.

I can’t wait to see your take on this sketch. Hugs and smiles
