Sending You Smiles

Wow!  This has been quite the month for me.  Between the move and seeing all my wonderful friends again I don't know what to do with myself.  I did however find some time to play along with Chupa's sketch challenge at  Sketchbook Saturday.    She always has some awesome sketches.


I ordered this PTI Simple Sunflower set about a month ago and finally inked it up.  Someone has been making me feel guilty about my neglected stamps.  ;)  I actually didn't start this card off to go with this sketch, I knew I was using the Sunflower and Mat Stack 4 image, and the rest just fit together with the sketch.  A match made in crafty heaven.  Don't ya think.  I like the bit of pale blue to lighten the darkness in the rest of the MME Sunshine papers.  I used a My Favorite Things Crochet border die and Tim Holtz distress ink in Wild Honey and Walnut Stain.  Cardstock is PTI Rustic Cream, White, and Smokey Shadow.



I have missed you all so much.  I am finally starting to get around to visiting blogs again.  I always appreciate you stopping by to see me.

    What a happy card you have made... I know what you mean by having time to try something new.. Ever since I started playing with mixed media, I have not made many cards. So much to play with so little time..

    Hugs, Linda
