Happy Friday all! Hope you've had a good week and a Great 4th of July! Pretty quiet around here, aside from all the "stuff" going on! Not getting any stamping time, so I don't have a creation to share, but I did want to share the Sketch Frenzy Friday sketch of the week, created by me. Hope to get a creation added in over the weekend...HOPE!!

Make sure you stop over and see what the team has created!! You won't be disappointed!!

CANCELLED Open Houses

Sorry all, but I just can't make this happen so I'm going to have to cancel the Open Houses that I scheduled for next weekend, July 13 & 14. Too many other things that require my attention happening right now!!

Sketch Frenzy Friday 062813

Happy Friday all! Hope you've had a good week! A little too warm & humid here for my taste, but not much I can do about that but live with it!! :0) Hopefully a little cooler for the weekend.

Friday means another round of Sketch Frenzy Friday, and one that I actually played along with!! Still trying to get back on track and starting to feel a little better about it!

Here is my creation

based on this sketch by Deb Currier

I wanted to try a new color or two, and after looking for a bit, settled on Pleasant Poppies as the stamp to use. I just put it together the other day! It isn't new this year, but recently new to me. I settled on the Strawberry Slush for the main color, and Basic Gray and Whisper White to compliment. I'm still operating without much new stuff, although it is arriving soon! My ribbon and accessories are very limited, and I don't have the new Color Coach yet for color suggestions. I stamped the big image in Strawberry Slush on a background layer of Whisper White. That was layered onto Strawberry Slush. Near the bottom I attached a strip of Strawberry Slush DSP from the Quatrefancy Specialty pack. Over that and around both layers is a Basic Gray 1/4" Stitched Grosgrain ribbon. Over that, I added a 2-3/8" Basic Gray Scallop Circle. On that I added a Whisper White circle that was cut with the Circles #2 Bigz Die. On the White I stamped more Poppies in Strawberry Slush and added the saying "Imagine" in Basic Gray. I did use the Stamp-a-ma-jig to get the placement I wanted as I cut the circle first. I added a ribbon bow of Whisper White Taffeta at the bottom of that element, and attached the entire circle with dimensionals over the DSP and ribbon. All of that is attached to the card base of Basic Gray.

Thanks all for stopping by today! Make sure you stop over at the main SFF Blog to see what the rest of the team created, and to play along!!

Sketch Frenzy Friday 061413

Happy Friday all! Hope you've had a good week and have GREAT plans for the weekend!

As you know, Friday means another round of Sketch Frenzy Friday! And, I actually have something to share this week! Sorry I've been so in and out over the last few months!! Hoping to get back on track soon and stay there :)

Here is my creation of the week

based on this sketch by Sharon Wheet.

I looked at this for a VERY long time before finding my direction. That's what happens when I'm not stamping very often!! I like the final result though! Colors are Raspberry Ripple, Crumb Cake and Soft Suede. I don't have many new accessories yet so I'm somewhat limited on options!!

I stamped the En Francais background stamp on the Crumb Cake background in Crumb Cake. The flower was stamped in Raspberry Ripple and the words in Soft Suede. A Crumb Cake ribbon accents the side, a Soft Suede flower sits behind the flower/saying element. And finally, two Vintage brads provide and accent.

Thanks for stopping by today! Don't forget to stop over at the main SFF blog to see what the rest of the team created, AND to play along!! Have a GREAT weekend all!!!

Sketch Frenzy Friday 053113

Happy Friday all! Hope you've had a GREAT week! Full of weather here! Storms all week, plenty of rain, and luckily no severe stuff!!

As you know, Friday means another round of Sketch Frenzy Friday! Here is my creation

based on this sketch by Patrice Herrera.

My color combination: Rich Razzleberry, Bermuda Bay and Daffodil Delight. I found a DSP print that I liked in the new DSP pack, Quartrefancy Specialty, in Daffodil Delight. I knew that would go with Rich Razzleberry, then looked to find a 3rd color for contrast. The returning Bermuda Bay!! I stamped the butterflies from Papillion Potpouri on Whisper White and punched with the coordinating punches. The saying is from a new greeting set, Really Good Greetings, and was stamped in Rich Razzleberry directly on the DSP. The butterflies were attached with dimensionals and have added "bling" rhinestones.

Thanks for stopping by today!! Make sure you stop over by the main SFF blog and see what the rest of the team created. Trust me-you won't be disappointed :) See you again soon!!

Sketch Frenzy Friday 052413

Happy Friday all, thanks for stopping by!! Thanks for hanging with me over the last few months with my scattered posting!! Hoping soon to get back on a more regular schedule!!

As you know, Friday means another round of Sketch Frenzy Friday!! Great sketch this week by Tammy Fite! Here is my card

based on this sketch by Tammy:

I walked into my room tonight (Thursday, after 8:30 pm!!) with no clue where I was going with this! Love that SU! makes such great stuff that I can easily pull something together that works so well!! 

The Chevron pattern in the sketch caught my eye, so I started looking at DSP. I landed on the Parker's Patterns pack from the Spring Mini and found a Chevron print in Daffodil Delight. My brain immediately went to a sunflower type flower for the element (imagine that!!). I briefly considered building a flower with the Fun Flowers die, but then settled on the Perfect Pennant Die for the element, with a Secret Garden die cut flower. Colors, Chocolate Chip, Daffodil Delight and Whisper White. Simple and Sweet :)

Make sure you stop over at the Sketch Frenzy Friday blog to see what the rest of the team created, trust me you will NOT be disappointed. Then, play along with us!!
