Hello

 

Happy Friday & Happy Easter Weekend!!

Once again I have found a fabulous fun sketch challenge to join in on.  I'm talking about the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge Blog.  This is a new challenge blog to me and I'm sure I will be visiting often.  Here's today's sketch....

 

 This was so much fun to create and it can be used for a variety of occasions ... or ... Just Because!!  I've used the following:

Poppystamps 'Grand Madison Window'

 

Jeanine's Art 'Home Sweet Home' (cat)

 

 ** Had I thought about using a cat earlier, I could have used this entire die set! **

Frantic Stamper 'Brush Script' Hello

 

For the background, I used the Tim Holtz 'Stone Layering Stencil' with TH Walnut Stain Distress Oxide ink and a large sponge dauber. 

 

 Prima flowers were used and I've used Yellow Nuvo Crystal Drops for the flower centers.  The cat and butterfly were last minute ideas but I love how it finishes out the scene!

Mix It Up Challenge - NO Stamping

 Hello my friends!

A new month means a new challenge over on the Mix It Up Challenge Blog.

Remember, this is a monthly Anything Goes challenge but with a fun twist that you can choose to join in on ... or not!  This month's theme is:

 

 Anything Goes + NO Stamping

 Today I've created a card using a couple of dies from the Tutti Designs Company.

Oriental Screen

and Word Set - Smile

I have reinserted a few of the pieces that pop out of the screen and did a bit of faux stitching ... VIOLA!!

I do hope you'll pop over to the Mix It Up Challenge Blog and join in the fun!

You have until 6 PM EST the last day of the month to enter!

I'm so inspired by the rest of our amazing DT 

and I can't wait to be inspired by YOUR project!

 

As always, thanks SO MUCH for taking the time to stop by!
