2 Sketches 4 You!

Wow, school is back in session, and my kids were up bright and early this morning and ready for school before I was even downstairs. Gotta love all the excitement. Too bad it doesn't last all year.... I got this cute stamp set from Clear & Simple Stamps. My kids loved all the wii characters....

2 Sketches 4 You and Just Right Stamps!

I had so much fun making this card this week. We were so blessed to be able to use JustRight stamps. I used these fabulous monograms. They are so versatile and can be used for so much. I have so many ideas but no time to do them all.

Kazan's Sketch 26 at 2 Sketches 4 You

Wow, it another great sketch at 2S4Y and another set of great products. We had the privelege of being able to use Starving Artist Stamps, Teresa Collins Paper and the mini Scor-It.

This adorable little goldfish and the bg stamp were from Starving Artist Stamps. the paper was from Teresa Collins and of course all the scored lined were done using the mini Scor-It. What an awesome tool this is.

Thursday of last week was such an exciting day for us. We have been in the process of trying to buy a house. It is a short sale, and it has taken quite a few twists and turns, but finally we received the phone call on Thursday that everything was approved and we will close tomorrow. So y'all know what that means, I will be packing and moving this week. and with the kids home for the summer it is quite a challenge. I know I have been a little out of the loop here, and hope after the move is over it will settle down and we can get back into a normal routine.

Please remember to keep Annie in your prayers!

Thanks,

Laura's Sketch and 2S4Y!

What a great sketch from Laura this week, and we also were able to use some great products by Clear Snaps. The stamp I used is the Mixed Dots roller. I stamped it using black ink and used the Martha Stewart butterfly punch for the butterflies. The top letters were stamped using JustRight Stamps.

I have been having problems with my computer. My mouse on my laptop has gone out and I am using an old mouse that isn't cooperating well. My email is not functioning properly and the only email I am getting is on my I-Phone. So frustrating... It seems I forget how much I rely on my computer until it goes wacky on me. LOL!

I want to request that everyone keeps the daughter of a friend of mine in their prayers. She is 17 months old and was recently diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma that has mastisized in her brain and it is also in her bones. She is going through intense chemo and her and her family need lots of prayer.

I hope everyone has a great week and hopefully I will get time to post later this week.

The Ultimate Card Showdown Week #2 and Exciting News!

Happy Monday All! Wow, last week was AWESOME at 2S4Y! We had so many play along. There were so many fantastic submissions, it was great getting to see all the wonderful talent.

This wonderful sketch is from Kazan. What a fun sketch to work with. I used Teresa Collins DP for this card. The stitching was done using one of the fun stitches on my machine. I love using it for cards. (Now if I could just actually sew on material! LOL!!!)

2 Sketches 4 You!

This week I had the wonderful opportunity at 2 Sketches 4 You to do the Bonus Sketch. This card was made for this sketch. To see it you can go to the 2 Sketches 4 You blog and join in on their challenge.

Our sponser this week was Starving Artist Stamps, and I really like this adorable rocking horse. I colored it using Prisma markers and I stamped the Harlequin bg stamp from SAS on the pink strip down the middle. The sentiment is also from SAS.

I made a second card using SAS, it was made using papers from K&Co.

Remember to put on your calender to join us at 2S4Y on June 1st for lots of fun and prizes.
