SG18/Etsy Inspired #88

Today I am combining 2 challenges into one...yep, trying to do like some of my favorite bloggers...you know who you are, Patti, Lori, Olga, and countless others! The two challenges are the Sketch Girls challenge and the fun Etsy Inspired Challenge.

I used the stamp set Sew Pretty and Nana's Needlework Sentiments for my card as well as from Limelight Papercrafts some gorgeous Webster's Pages and two different lace: Crochet Natural Trim and Delicate Pink Trim. This week the Etsy Challenge is inspired by the beautiful Creations Designs store. I chose these pretty earrings and took my inspiration from these colors.

Limelight Papercrafts is the sponsor this week and the winner will receive some Basic Grey products: Max and Whiskers Epoxy Stickers and Buttons! Please visit the Etsy Inspired Blog for more info and to link up your card!

For more inspiration using the Sketch 18, be sure to check out the Sketch Girls: Annie, Julie, Alyssa, Harriet, Tiffany, Randee, Bonnie, Amber, Katie, Jessica, Sara, and our very creative Guest Designer Piali Biswis.

I hope you will play along with us on this sketch and make sure you link your creation on the Sketch Girl blog. The sponsor of the sketch this week is Softpencil and the winner will receive a $10 shopping spree to their store.

Thanks so much for stopping by and hope you can play along with both challenges!

Happy Birthday

I made this for Nina's Anniversary Blog Challenge. I wanted to use come more of the Webster's Pages and thought stamping the doily (from Nana's Needlework) onto the grid might work. :o) I *hated* to take a chance on this pretty paper... I just squinted my eyes, placed the inked stamp on the paper, and hoped for the best....you know what I am talking about?? Sure you do :o) Well, it worked and I didn't manage to smudge it until right before I got ready to take a picture so that required some extra sponging to cover it up, LOL!

I pray you have wonderful weekend and know we have much to be thankful for as we celebrate our risen Lord. All that I am is because of Him and the sacrifice He made for me (and for you!)

Blessings,
