Anything Goes at Sentimental Sundays!

Hi everyone - are you enjoying your weekend?  It has been a snowy, blowy weekend here so I've been hunkering down and enjoying not having to go anywhere.  I did manage to get some crafting done, though...  :)  This week's challenge over at Sentimental Sundays is one EVERYONE can participate in - "Anything Goes!"  Just make a card (or two) and don't forget your sentiment!! 

I combined this challenge with the Play Date Cafe's color combo - a bright, springy one this week...I love it!

I also used the Stampin' Royalty sketch as my jumping off point but as my card evolved, it ended up being *slightly* different than the sketch:

Stamps: Ewe Complete Me (TCP)  Ink: Versafine Onyx Black  Paper: Very Vanilla, Basic Black, various DSP scraps  Accessories: Buttons, sheer ribbon, scallop oval punch, oval punch, sewing machine, Seeing Spots embossing folder

As always, thanks for stopping by - it's always so much fun to read your comments and see where you're all visiting from.  I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend - see you tomorrow!

I {heart} Fridays!!

Hi everyone!  Are you as glad as I am that it's Friday?  This week has just seemed to d-r-a-g so when the alarm went off this morning, I hit the snooze button and rolled over to enjoy a few more minutes of yummy sleep.  After getting the boys off to school I came home to start the ever-growing-and-multiplying piles of laundry and then sat down to make a card.  Earlier in the week, I tried to make a card using The Cat's Pajamas color combo but I just wasn't *feeling* it so I put the papers off to the side to revisit it later and this morning they were calling me...

Another reason to {heart} Fridays is because that means it's time for new Viva la Verve Sketch.  This week Amber has given us a fun one to work with:

I have been using soooo much Verve lately that I thought I'd better be an equal opportunity stamper and give some of my other stamps some love and attention...I got this new set a few weeks ago from The Cat's Pajamas but haven't inked it up -- what better time than now?

Stamps: Ewe Complete Me (The Cat's Pajamas)  Paper: Pretty In Pink, Chocolate Chip, Taken With Teal, SU! DSP, Whisper White  Ink: Taken With Teal, Versafine Onyx Black  Accessories: Nesties (Rectangles and Scalloped Rectangles), Copics, paper piercer, adhesive pearls, Apron Border Die & Flower Buttons Die (The Cat's Pajamas), Pretty in Pink satin ribbon, button, twine, heart brad

I hope you are enjoying your Friday - any big plans for the weekend?  I think we are going to take it easy and enjoy some family *togetherness*... DH just called and said he bought "Megamind" so I think we'll probably pop some popcorn and curl up in the couch to watch that tonight.  Have a great weekend everyone - see you on Sunday for a new Sentimental Sundays challenge!
