sweet sunday sketch challenge #46


Good morning - It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge! Here is the deal: make a card with this layout and use the Mr. Linky box down at the end of my post to enter your card. On Thursday at 10 PM (Mountain Time), I'll randomly select one card to feature on my blog. So, as long as your card is linked in the Mr. Linky box by 10 PM Thursday, your card will be in the drawing. Be sure to link directly to the blog post or gallery image which features your card. You may post a picture of the sketch on your blog, but please save the image to your computer first. Use the keyword SSSC46 if you plan to post your card in an online gallery.

Remember this ancient set from SU? It's Baby Firsts and it has been long forgotten and ignored on my for sale shelf. Poor thing. Look how cute she is in her little pink jammies! I used some paper from Tea Party and loved how all the dots coordinated with each other - then to top it off, I found some pink polka-dot grosgrain ribbon in my Spa Key Ingredients to keep the pink bubble gum look comin'. haha!

So yes, you may have caught that shameless plug for all my retired sets I have for sale - I need to fund my way to CHA in January - want to help? Seriously! I need to sell lots of these sets that need to be loved in a new home and then I can have some much needed vacation time with my stampin' friends :D I'll be in the Taylored Expressions booth, so please come on by and say hello - I'd love to meet you! OK, the shameless plug is over, LOL!

The Sweet Sunday Stampers also have samples to show you today, so don't forget to stop on by to see:

Now it's your turn! Have fun!
Karen
