Seems A Little Sketchy #47

Welcome to this weeks Seems A Little Sketchy!! I do hope your last couple of weeks have been going well. I know mine has been. Cheryl and I hosted a booth at a local craft show for the first time. Didn't sell much, but at least we know what to expect and how things work now and going forward, we'll be better prepared.

For this weeks Sketch, I had fun designing my card to go with it. Although, I think it turned out rather simple... :-/

I cannot wait to see your designs!!

Shore Leave 2013!!!!!

So, about my trip to Baltimore MD. We had a blast! I got to meet a few celebrities, Amanda Tapping, Eddie McClintock and a couple others. It's odd, but whenever I take photos, they come out clear. When anyone else does it, it's a bit blurry. lol

Amanda Tapping

Eddie McClintock

Neil Grayston

Hubby came in on Friday evening. He didn't stay for the "after party" of our awards ceremony. But, I sure did!! :) Sadly I was a bit under the weather on Saturday, so we didn't get to do much. (A bit too much alcohol on Friday evening....No pics to be posted so I cannot be blackmailed!) All in all, we had a very fun time together.

As always

Enjoy!!

Our Sponsor

will award one lucky random winner 3 free digis!

I didn't use any special techniques. I just "matted" several images that I cut from the "Secret Garden" (Graphic 45) set that I have.

The Butterfly is 3 cut images from a Memory Box die.

I hope you will join us again next week for more creative fun!! Best of luck in the drawings!!

SALS Sketch 45

Happy Monday Ladies and Gentlemen!!!

I do hope that you weekend was wonderful!!! I am just returning from Baltimore, MD and am probably sleeping it off... :)

I'll give more details in a later post on what we did. I'll even post some of the photos from the bay!

This weeks sketch was super fun. Hubby's birthday is September 5th, so this fits him perfectly. Hopefully he doesn't watch this blog to closely or the gig will be up. lol

This weeks sketch was fun to work with. Had a little bit of difficulty with cutting out the image, but I finally managed it.

There are no special techniques used, just plain card stock and some generic designed paper I picked up somewhere.

The flowers I found on clearance at Michael's a couple weeks ago. I tipped them with a little bit of silver paint and edged the card with the same.

So, here is your lovely sketch to work with this week! Don't forget to thank Tess for her wonderful and fun designs!!

This weeks sketch is sponsored by Delicious Doodles!!! I really love their designs, truly. You have the chance to win FOUR free images!! Best of luck!!!

Birthday number TWO

As I said, there are two birthdays this week. My little sister's is tomorrow. 

Here is her card. 

She likes all my cards, so I have no doubt that she'll like it. :))

And we have yet another birthday... a couple of them.

My sister in law has a birthday this week, as does a good friend. So, have to make more birthday cards. This is the first one that will be going to Don, who will be in Baltimore with us this weekend.

Had to make something a little more adult and masculine :)

Happy Birthday Don!

Love always!
