Color Throwdown & A Sweet Sunday Sketch


Hello again!

I've got to make this post short and to the point 'cause it's almost time for Big Brother - - - yes, I admit it.  (Head hung...)  Every summer I vow NOT to get drawn into the train wreck that is BB but every summer I'm sucked in.  Even {I} realize it is one of the more, shall we say, ridiculous reality shows out there but I think it is actually pretty funny to watch.

Anyhow - enough about my weaknesses, I've got a card to show you!  :)  I used this week's Color Throwdown and Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch:



Recipe - Stamps: Thankful Accents (Verve)  Paper: Rose Red, Whisper White, Pear Pizzazz, So Saffron, SU! DSP  Ink: Pear Pizzazz  Accessories: Nestabilities, paper piercer, circle punches, Pretty in Pink satin ribbon, button, hemp twine, adhesive rhinestones, Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder

Okie dokie - gonna fly.  I'll try to be have another card for you before Sunday but if not, please make sure to come back and visit for my final Curtain Call as a member of Stacey's design team.  *sniff* 

See you then!

Way to flash some Verve and use this sketch so wonderfully! Had to laugh at your BB viewing. I had a few summers of watching it and finally bailed, but The Bachelor still gets me LOL!
