Saturday Sketch Challenge 11/6

This will be short and sweet.  I'm off to the Hospital with Mother again.  Bless her heart!!!!  We're trying to avoid her getting as sick as she did last time.  All prayers are appreciated!!!

As always, you can see this week's sketch over at the UDI Blog.  Stampin' Up! has an awesome Papercrafting Software called My Digital Studio.  Not only does it make digital scrapbooking a breeze but we now are offering calendars with easel backs making them great for your desk and journals that you design the cover for!!!!  One of the great things about this software is ability to get our Designer Papers and stamps digitally.  I had a hostess request to use Bells and Boughs at her workshop.  I didn't have that set but it was available as a Digital Download so I printed the image out, colored it with markers, added some Shimmer Paint and, voila!, a hybrid card!!!!!  I even printed out the Designer Paper!

Here's the card!!!

I'll add the supplies in later.  For now, hop on over to Tammy's Blog to see her creation!  Tammy is also participating in the Royal Blog Tour this weekend so if this link takes you to the Tour creations, just scroll down to see her card for the sketch challenge. 

Have a great week!

Saturday Sketch Challenge 10/30

It's been a great week!!!  My sister is almost completely recovered from her surgeries AND we were able to move Mother to a Skilled Nursing Unit for a couple of weeks rehab.  After that, she'll get to come home!!!!!  She had a great time today, the facility had a Halloween party.  For physical therapy, they had to throw rings around Witch's Hats and then someone painted a cat on her face and put a rub on tattoo bracelet on her!!  They also played Halloween bingo!  I'm going to have to watch out, or she won't want to come home because she's having too much fun! LOL!

So here's my card for this week.  As always, you can find the sketch and links to the rest of the Design Team over at the UDI Blog or you can just follow the link at the bottom of this post to Hop on over to the next Designer.

Saturday Sketch Challenge 10/23

Oh my!  Where is time going?  Already almost Halloween??????  Thank you all so much for your kind words and prayers for my mom and my sister!  My sister is almost completely recovered from her surgeries and my mom is getting better every day.  She is still in the hospital and since I am working part-time and my sister can't lift anything, Mother will go to a Skilled Nursing Unit for a couple of weeks to regain her strength.  I'm hoping we can get her home by mid-November.

 So here's my card for this week.  I have missed doing the sketches!  You can see the sketch over at the Utah Divas Internation Blog and you can link from there to all the Designers OR you can follow the link at the end of this post to Hop on over to the next Designer.

Prayers for Ruthie's Mom

To those of you following my blog, thank you for stopping by today.  I didn't have a post last weekbecause I was at the hospital with my mom AND my sister.  My sister is home but Mother had to be readmitted this week and is in ICU, so I am here at the hospital with her.  She is out of the woods but she is still very sick.  I hope you will keep her and my sister in your prayers as they work toward being healthy again.
