Feelin' the Love

I started the morning out with a paper cut. The good news is, I got the paper cut when I was opening my birthday present from my sons! :) Today, I hit the big Three-Oh, and I have to admit, I'm kind of excited about it!

I had a great morning surrounded by the ones I love, and got spoiled like crazy... so Liliana's challenge for this week at The Friday Mashup is very fitting - hearts and a sketch. Here's my take:

I had a lot of fun with this card! I love the Storytime DSP, and was going to save the entire pack to use for my son's school scrapbook, but decided that I could steal this sweet little image of two friends blowing bubbles.

Here's this week's sketch and challenge:

So here is the "Mashup" Challenge:

1. Make a project using the "Sketch".
2. Or Make a project featuring "Hearts".
3. Or "Mash it Up" and create a project using the "Sketch and Hearts".

Thanks for stopping by today! Looking forward to seeing what you create and share with us this week.

Thank You

Freshly Made Sweets

Hello, friends!

Today I have a card made for Freshly Made Sketches that uses some paper I love but somehow never used! It's from the Sweet Shop suite, and it's just so cute. The paper is two-toned, so I created my card two-toned as well.

This Designer Series Paper is no longer available, but I just couldn't help using it for this sketch by Jennifer!:

 

It's another lovely day in our neighbourhood today and I'm trying to narrow down my options of what to do! ... My Stampin' Up! order from the new catty arrives today too though, so part of me just wants to wait at the door ;)

Thank you for visiting today!
