Weekend sketch challenge #79 May 1, 2009

Happy Friday!  Jenn Balcer is hosting the sketch challenge today and has come up with an awesome sketch that I really enjoyed.  You can see the sketch on her blog here.

I apologize for all of the shadowing.  It was late and I was way too tired to try and get the pic just right.  Gotta love those Corduroy Buttons and Canvas Cuts.  These are my current favorite accessories.  The rose image from Fifth Avenue Floral was stamped with Stazon onto Watercolor Paper (another must have). 

Check out what Beate, Charmaine, Jenn, Laurie, Lori, Sharon

and

Cami have created for todays sketch.  Cami from OCL is also releasing summer stamps today.  Here is a sample.  My family and I enjoy cooking out & swimming in the pool almost daily during the summer.  When you have a pool, friends and family show up (frequently at times), so it seemed appropriate for me to play around with this new set Bring on the BBQ.

    Two wonderful cards! The corduroy accents are my current favorite, too! I hope they’ll stay around for another catalogue, and show up in more yummy colors (since we’ll be losing the InColors ones, I assume).

    TFS!

    Love the flower and canvas cuts! Beautiful card. Just got this stamp set in the mail this past week, but had to wait on canvas cuts. Bummer.

    Качество друзей тоже надо учитывать. Дональд Трамп, например, на двадцатку потянет.
