Sunday Stamp Leaf


Hey, hey - back again for a sketch challenge at Sunday Stamps.  This week's sketch was designed by Monica.  I love how the sections are different sizes.  I decided to use Comfort Cafe for my paper and spent a lot of time making "Baby Wipe" leaves with different sets and dies.  I settled on a single leaf on a circular background....that Cajun Craze piece at the top of the card was just too busy to "support" the other leaves; to my mind anyway.

Rather than a strip of ribbon along the side I used the Double Scallop Ribbon Border punch and ran a piece of Early Espresso Baker's Twine down the middle.

Give this sketch a try, as you can see from Monica's sketch - you can use any shape as the focal point, so the sky's the limit.  Check out what the other Design Team Members have created over at Sunday Stamps and when you're finished with your creation be sure to link it to the blog so we can check out what you've come up with.

Thankfully, the leaves haven't started to change here - the weekend is suppose to be a good one, but it's suppose to get cooler Monday - so I'll be enjoying a bit more deck time for a couple of days.
If you're a fellow teacher, I hope your first few days back a school were good.
Thanks for stopping by for a visit.

Tie Dyed Pig

I guess this may be a bit of a left over from last night .....we went to see Blue Man Group, and they are notorious for splashing/drumming paint around - so maybe this little guy was right in the thick of it!

The sketch comes from Mojo Monday and the theme is The Paper Players first for a month full of Humour.
More than anything, this paper makes me smile.  I just love the bright colours!

I'm "patiently" waiting for my daughter to arrive home from Mexico.  Her flight was delayed twice and then cancelled yesterday and delayed once today.  Once they took off though, they ended up landing in Las Vegas.  She's in the air again now, and I know she will be so, so happy to be home.  I've already got her bed turned down for her in case that's the first place she wants to go.

She is arriving home to better weather today though, so that's a plus.  Hope your day is going well.  Thanks for dropping by.
