Triple Thanks So Much

Bonjour-Hello.......Happy Sunday Stamps.  You've got to excuse me today - I'm currently in Ottawa, and you hear just about as much French here as English.  

Hayley has a great sketch for us this week - I love the little string of banners.....and I love how our design team members have interpreted the sketch in a variety of ways....so be sure you check out the blog for inspiration.

I created this card before I left home for holidays - I used a piece that I had thought of using for another card, but set aside.  Ya gotta keep those little "bloopers" - because they end up being useful in the end.  I used watercolour paper for the base of the focal piece - which is how I created the aged/distressed edge.

I've been having a fantastic holiday - and one memorable highlight will be the evening I met two members of Design Teams while in Ottawa.  Hayley (from Sunday Stamps) and Tara (from MDS Monday) met me for dinner at the Baton Rouge and it was like we were getting together as old friends instead of meeting as cyber friends for the first time.  Good food, good laughs, good memories, new friends.  I had a outstanding time and I look forward to getting together with these ladies again in the future!!!

I hope you are having some memorable times this summer.

Thanks for stopping by here for a wee visit.

Strawberry Slush Thanks

Here we are at the last Sunday in May - and it's a Sketch day at Sunday Stamps.  Steph has created a wonderful sketch this week - one that is quick and easy to put together.

I've used the Mosaic Madness set and the co-ordinating Quatrefancy Specialty DSP.  I've used the Window Sheet that is included with this DSP as an overlay on the Strawberry Slush cardstock. (which is the reason for the bit of glare at the bottom of the card!)

I matched the mosaic theme with the three punched images, and I'm sure there are a wide variety of different ways this sketch could be interpreted.  Hope you give it a try and link your creation to the Sunday Stamps blog so the rest of the Design Team can enjoy it.

Have a super Sunday!  Thanks for stopping by.

Oh what a wonderful sunny day today - I'm finishing up this post and then heading outside to do a bit of spring tidying up.

Today I combined the Dynamic Duo colour challenge with the Just Add Ink Sketch while playing with some of the new products that will be available in the new catalogue as of May 31.

Gotta Love New Toys!

Hope your day is sunny and bright - thanks for dropping by.
