BIG News!!! {SSSC163}


I am sooooooo excited this morning!!!  The last week has been EXCRUCIATING trying to keep the secret a secret...but now I get to explode!  :)  I, along with four other very talented ladies, have been chosen to join Karen and the AMAZING DT over at the Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge!!!  I KNOW!  I can hardly believe it myself.  :)  I always have such a fun time playing with Karen's sketches that I know this will be an easy-peasy gig.  :)

Without further ado, here's this week's fabulous sketch and my take on it:



I decided to use the sketch the way Karen gave it to us for my very first week - no rocking the boat or flipping it around this time.  (But have no fear...there *will* be one before this sketch has expired :)   I also used the awesome color combo from the TCP Tuesday Challenge #218.  I *think* this combo is courtesy of one of the OTHER new Sweet Sunday Stampers, Lori Tecler!!!  LOVE it!  I used one of my favorite Cat's Pajamas images and the cloud die works perfectly for the horizontal strip.  Some embossing, a button and some fabulous red twine (from the Ribbon Carousel via my friend, Jenny...she ordered it twice!  I've never done that before...have you? :), and it's all done!


All of the fabulous Sweet Sunday Stampers have inspiration for you, so please stop on by and say hello:



And our amazing guest stamper for this week is Jen Shults

Thanks for stopping by and letting me share my awesome news with you all!  Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
