2 Sketches 4 You Meets the Little Paper Shop


Good Morning everyone!

I had a bit of time this morning before heading off to work so I thought I'd better get some crafting time in since this week is kinda busy with work and appointments and... I'm going to see Daughtry with some of my girlie-friends on Thursday night!!!!  OH my goodness!  I am soo soo excited!  We get to go to the city, do a bit of shopping, go out for dinner and then enjoy the concert - what could be better?

So, for this morning's crafting installment, I popped over to the Little Paper Shop blog and found this fun color challenge:


I went over to Laura and Kazan's 2 Sketches 4 You to see what they had for us this week.  It's been a LONG time since I've played with their sketch but as soon as I saw this one I knew what I could do:


All of those scallop-y layers at the bottom totally reminded me of dresses I wore when I was little - rows of ruffles and lace and ribbon.  (I know some of you are thinking...she wore dresses???  HA!)  So out came the sewing machine and the ribbon and. . .

Recipe - Stamps: Sunshiny Day (MFT), Teeny Tiny Wishes (SU!) Ink: Versafine Onyx Black  Paper: Whisper White, Melon Mambo, Taken With Tea, Wild Wasabi  Accessories: Buttons, twine, ribbon, Copics, Textile embossing folder, sewing machine, paper piercer

AGAIN - I had to flip the sketch to make it fit yet another Pure Innocence image - yes, I'm obsessed with these little girlies!  They are just too darn cute!

Thanks for stopping by - enjoy your Tuesday!
