Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 88

With all the kids back at school it finally gave me some time to stamp! I love having them home but are ready for some time to myself by the time they go back! Which I guess sounds like every mum! LOL! Thought I would start with the Sweet Sunday sketch I love the sketches Karen comes up with! For the button I tied a bow with the linen thread and then added a brad to the middle, pushing it through the button holes and bending the pins behind to keep it in place! It was just a random brad I had in my stash that matched! Love it when that happens!!! LOL!

I have a few challenges on my list to do this week so I hope to be back tomorrow with something else to show you! Sorry about the photos I think I need new batteries for the camera!
Recipe:

Stamps: Just believe

Card: Pacific point, sahara sand and very vanilla

Ink: Sahara sand and pacific point

DSP: Blueberry crisp

Accessories: Very vanilla button and 3/8"satin ribbon, linen thread and a random brad

Surprise pop up season of joy

Thought I'd share with you the cards I made for this round of UStamp! This round is all about movement cards and each project is one movement card and also just a card made with the same set and colours and both with matching envelopes! Fun fun fun! All sets have a different colour combo, every stampin up colour is used through the event! The colours I choose are not quite navy, poppy parade, sahara sand and whisper white. Not your normal Christmas colours but they work very well together! I had never made a surprise pop up card before so that's why I picked it! Hope you like it! I love season of joy you can do so much with it!

I am just designing one project for this round of UStamp and one for the next round so I'm up to date for now! So I will have the time to catch up on the challenges I love and time to stamp for myself!!! Can't wait! It has been a busy year for me so far so something had to give! I will be back in the next few days with some blog candy to give away!

Thanks for stopping by:-)

A new addition and a RAK! Lucky me:-)

I have wanted a puppy for quite sometime now but thought it was best to wait till the kids were a little bigger so it would be easier! So now all the children are all at school it was time! This is our new little puppy Lu Lu! How cut is she! Just need to stop her crying at night and she will be perfect! Mind you it's only day 3! Wish me luck! LOL!

A week or so ago I went to my letter box this beautiful card and gift was in there! This RAK is from Lynn Powell from Australia! Click on Lynn's name in purple and check out her fantastic blog:-) How lucky am I!!!! Thanks soooo much Lynn! The soaps smell fantastic! And you have used my Favorite DSP too! Love it, love it, love it!!!!
