Saturday Sketch Challenge 9/25

I will be glad to see an end to September!  I should not have bragged that my Mom and Sister were both home from the hospital.  Wednesday, we had to call 911 for my sister and she ended up having to have ANOTHER emergency surgery!!!!  Totally unrelated to her last surgery.  Can you believe??????  She was supposed to come home tonight but they told us after I got to the hospital to pick her up that she had to wait another day.  Oh well, maybe tomorrow!

On to this weeks sketch!  Oh, the possibilities!  I knew exactly what I wanted to do when I saw this sketch.  At our SU convention, I saw some gorgeous white on white cards and thought one would be perfect for this sketch.  You can see the sketch over at the UDI Blog along with a list of links to all the Designers.  We are all linked to each other, though, so you can just click on the link at the bottom of my post to Hop through them all.  Here's my card, I hope you like it!

Saturday Sketch Challenge 9/18

OMG!  We had soooo much fun at Regionals in Ft. Worth last weekend!  We saw some awesome projects, stamped some fun projects and got FREE STAMPS!!!!!  What could be better?  Well......my Sister and my Mom were both in the hospital this week and now they are both home!!!!  Woo hoo!

So, here's my project for this week.  You can see the sketch over at the UDI Blog.  You can follow the links there to each designer or just click on the link at the bottom of my post to go to the next Designer's Blog.

Supplies:

STAMPS:  Elements of Style, Paisley Prints, Paisley Party SA Wheel
CARDSTOCK:  Elegant Eggplant, Very Vanilla
INKS:  Elegant Eggplant, More Mustard, Always Artichoke, Night of Navy, Versamark
ACCESSORIES:  Clear Embossing Powder

This is a very simple project.  Ink the wheel with Versamark and roll it across the Very Vanilla Cardstock.  Ink the leaf from Paisley Prints and the "For You" stamp from Elements of Style with Versamark and stamp on Very Vanilla Cardstock.  Heat emboss with clear embossing powder.  On the wheeled image, use sponges and randomly sponge the inks on.  On the leaf image and the "For You" image, use daubers to apply the ink.  Sponge More Mustard ink around the leaf.  Easy Peasy!!!!

Now on to see what fabulous project Tammy has this week!!!!!  Have a great weekend!
