Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 63


Good morning - It's time for another Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge! Here is the deal: make a card with this layout and use the InLinkz button 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 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 SSSC63 if you plan to post your card in an online gallery.

First off - I have a fun little announcement for you all.  The FABULOUS Joanne Basile has joined the Sweet Sunday Stampers and I'm so excited she's here to stay!!  

I'm cutting it close with this card - I'm sitting here typing this post with 9 minutes to edit my card and complete my post - whoa!!!  So I'll make this short and sweet, LOL!  I had stamped this little flowering plant image a long time ago and finally put it to use, yippee!  I dug out my long lost Fall Flowers paper and matched it up with some Savannah buttons - they match that soft sky paper perfectly.  And naturally, I needed to use some of this gorgeous satin Old Olive ribbon - love it!!

Well, it's 12:12 and I'm late!!  The girls are gonna give me so much grief... 

The Sweet Sunday Stampers also have amazing samples to show you today, so don't forget to stop on by to see:
Thanks for taking on the challenge this week!
Karen

  22. Hello. Just discovered your blog. I love your sketches. Not as fussy as Mojo Monday and not as unfussy as Clean and Simple - you've struck the perfect balance - for my aesthetic anyway :-)
