Hi There! Thanks so much to all who played along with last week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge! So many fabulous projects! Here today with an all new sketch.

Yummy!

Hi Girlies! Thanks to all of you who support my blog with all your wonderful words of kindness so regularly! :) I am quite honored to share some exciting news! Nichole Heady at PT I & ALL the girls on the DT selected my Dancing Daisies Basket (from my previous post) as the winning entry for the July Guest Star Stamper on the PTI Gallery! :) Thanks so much PTI team! :) If you haven't visited Nichole or any of the PTI girls yet, you don't know what you are missing! Pure Yummy Eye Candy! I have learned sooo many techniques that I share with all of you from these girls :) I made this Just Because card to thank my girlfriend Shana for my birthday gift using the SU Circle Circus set that she gave me for my birthday gift. I found it fitting to use it in her thank you card! I baked her some brownies & made the tag to accompany them. Shana is responsible for introducing me to stamping! :) My color inspiration came from this weeks Splitcoast's Color Challenge #227, CC227 where we had to use SU Lavendar Lace, Barely Banana, Basic Black, Basic Grey (I don't have Basic Grey so I substituted with Going Grey) & the layout inspiration came from Laura's Sketch 30 at 2 Sketches 4 You & I took on Kim's Bonus sketch for the "For you" card :) All of the sites that I have mentioned have so many "Yummy" treats for your viewing pleasure! I hope you like what you see here, if so I would love to hear from you! :) Be Sweet!
