FRESHLY MADE SKETCHES #400 - COZY CUP

Happy TGIF!!!

WOW...this week just flew by!

Finally the College Football season is up on us again...plus it's Labor Day weekend here in the USA...we are so excited!!! What's your favorite College Team???

The Freshly Made Sketches #400 Challenge caught my eye....

Here is the Sketch...

The super cute Cozy Up Set from "The Greetery" was just perfect for this layout. The sentiment is from an older Set I have..it was more fitting for this design. I also used the adorable Knit Wits Stencil for my background.

I haven't been this excited about a release in a loooooong time...you guys probably think I'm nuts...LOL!!! What can I say...Betsy Veldman is just brilliant...and I have to "thank" her for bringing my MOJO back to life!!!

Wishing you all a wonderful fun filled weekend! ~SL~

THE GREETERY - WITH SYMPATHY

Howdy friends!

As promised here is another card idea with the fabulous new "The Greetery - August Autumn Collection" ...

For this card, I used the Autumn Sketches Set.  I love how my old Tsukineko Kaleidacolor Autumn Leaves Ink Pad turned this beautiful image into a fab colorful fall card.

Wishing you a wonderful day and I'll post my next idea soon! ~SL~

THE GREETERY - THANK YOU

Happy Day to YOU!

I'm sooooo excited about my new "The Greetery" Autumn Collection ....Betsy Veldman really has done a fabulous job with these sets...and I can't wait to the next release!

For my card today I used the Bottled Up Set, the Budding Beauties Autumn Set and one of the Knit Wits Stencils.

I'm already working on my next card...stay tuned! ~SL

CASE THIS SKETCH #336

Hello and happy Monday!

Thank you so much for welcoming me back :) !!! Appreciate the kind words!

I have the house all to myself again and took the time to play along with the
Case This Sketch #336....

 Here is the Sketch ....

I still had the PTI - Beautiful Berries: Spring Set on my desk and figured it would go beautifully with this Sketch. The bird image and the sentiment are from the PTI - Brushed Birds Set.

The background was watercolored and I also added some "Blush Gold" splashes with the Zig Kuretake Gansai Tambi Color Set. At last I added some Clear Sequins.

Wishing you all a fabulous new week! ~SL~

PTI - FOR YOU

HELLO friends!

Long time no see...and write! Hate to say it, but I had NO mojo or desire to stamp. Life also got in the way!!!

So much has happened and I'm not gonna bore you with the details...nevertheless, I enjoyed my last summer with my girls - Sarah (College Senior) & Rebecca (College Freshman) before they are heading back to college and work again....our Mimi is in her second week of HS Freshman year...it's just crazy!

My fingers have been itchy this week and I started following the fabulous Betsy Veldman and her brand new blog and store - THE GREETERY. Before I knew it I ordered 3/4 of her August Release Collection...LOL!!! Talking about excitement....I ordered twice ...LOL!!!

Anyways, unfortunately my order won't be here for a few days, but I loved all the fabulous jar creations I saw on her blog....I just had to make a card....

I used some of my older PTI stamps plus dies - Just the Jar: Pint Set, Beautiful Berries: Spring Set and Friendship Jar Flowers Set. The sentiment is from the Color Pop Butterflies Set.

I really had fun making this card and I can't wait to get my new stamps from "The Greetery"!!!!


Wishing you all a wonderful weekend and hope to see you soon again! ~SL~
