Happy Friday everyone and I hope you have all had a delightful week!! Gosh, there are signs of a nice weekend here after days and days of freezing weather and way more white stuff than I ever wanted to see!! Thank you all for so many nice and sweet comments, emails, cards, and surprises! No one would ever believe that Cyberian friends could be so wonderful!!! You are all so special to me!! I will keep you updated after I get my new porthole next week and find out what my exciting schedule will be! If you can do one thing to make me happy that would be to assure me that you have had your mammogram!!!!
At Friday Sketchers 90 we are being hosted by the magnificently talented Bea of Germany who has given us such a fun sketch this week!! I hope that you will come on over to check out the FS blog and will join us. I would just love to see your interpretation of Bea's sketch!
For my card I used Bazzill for the base, all matting is SU, and the DP is all Cosmo Cricket. I have used the absolutely darling image SURPRISE which was designed by the extremely talented and much loved Australian artist, Elisabeth Bell for Belles 'n Whistles. I hope that you will come over the the BnW blog to check out the lovely work done by the DT and will visit Summer's store to select your favorites!! Notice on this cute stamp how he has his slingshot in the back pocket of his overalls and a cute gift and balloon for some lucky someone!!! He was colored with Copics and I have used just some grosgrain ribbon, charm, and chipboard flower to showcase this darling!!
Sorry, but I have not completed the inside because I am still very limited as to how much I can use my right hand and arm...but I will be back in full force very soon.....smile...and filled with more pizzazzzzz than before!!!
Please check out all the wonderful sample cards posted by the Friday Sketchers Design team, and hopefully you will play along and post your own creation on the Friday Sketchers blog where you will find that InStyle Stamps is sponsoring a very nice prize this week!

ReplyDeleteHi Jacque, glad you can play and make a card! I am exhausted on my projects, my family gathering and my full time job, so I am taking my weekend off from the craft table and spend some relax time just to visit bloggers which I haven't really have time to do for a while.
