card for Sketch 66 - Damask everywhere lately

Is it just me or is Damask everywhere lately?  I was inspired to create a damask design with one of our stamp sets.  I used Aged Ornaments.  This set has 6 different designs that can be used to create your own Damask patterns.

I really enjoyed all the fabulous ideas from the swap groups - wowzers!  Be sure to add you linky if you give this sketch a try!

I am feeling the spring mojo flowing - now to dig out enough to be able to see my desktop - THEN maybe I can get somethings done!  I think I am actually in avoidance mode - and am just trying to avoind the whole mess in my studio!

Card Sketch 66

I love ths start of a new week - don't you?  I always have great expectations for the week and what I will accomplish.  Lets get started off right with the sketch for the week.

I sent this sketch to a few ladies in a swap group that I have hosted for what 8 years?  Crazy that we have been swapping for that long!  I hope they get a chance to add a linky to their creation and I hope you do too!

The weekend was so relaxing!  We got snow friday night - so I was not going ANYWHERE saturday.  I am such a sucker for stay inside and keep warm weather!  The snow was so wet the kiddos didn't even try to sled ride.  Eric was off working on our rental house most of the weekend - which left me in my studio.  Sad news - I have not a single thing to show for it!  I think I was on Hiatus or something.  The sunny side though is a new week - new inspiration, new motivation! 

This is the last few days for the March promotions - if you were thinking you might want them now is the time!

Sketch 67 - and a week gone by...

See this weeks sketch here.  I got messed up number wise - so next week will be 66 but who is counting?

I had fun playing with all the circles and rounds. But this one was HARD! I played with it all day yesterday - and finally glued it down this morning. I KNOW!  What a freak I am sometimes.  Ya only sometimes!

Tonight I will be in Wamego scrapbooking - at the middle school.  I hope you can join us if you are in the area!  Bring your supplies, a snack to share and your drink - and come to create.

This weekend - we are supposed to get some snow - so I am HOPING to be able to let my kiddos try out their sleds they got from grandma for Christmas.  They are so excited!  The down side though is that the baseball/softball camp they were supposed to go to has also been canceled because of that same snow.  Funny thing - it hasn't even started snowing yet!  That just cracks me up - and I used to work in weather when I was in the Air Force.  You gotta love Mother Nature!

And pictures monday of my cleaned up studio?  DOUBT IT!  LOL!  Have a great weekend!

Last weeks sketch card...

Ya I am finally getting caught up - or am I?  Possibly it is all an illusion and I am really getting further and further behind!   This is my card for last weeks sketch.

Add your linky if you play with the sketch!

I think I could use up a bunch of tags from our pattern paper packs with this sketch!  I used the Miss Moxie COllection - I am feeling myself just DRAWN to it lately - it is so birght and cheery.  Great for Spring and Summer creations.

I will get this weeks card up tomorrow I hope!   Still no progress in the studio as far as cleaning up - it is really disgusting!  Talk about where the heck did I put the/my (Fill in the Blank)??????  Good Gracious!  I have a meeting at church tonight, maybe I can come home and get a dent or two put into it?   One can hope right?

I made it home - and Mondays Sketch

I had the most fantastical weekend at our event in Salina.  Ya I am a big dummy - I never went to sleep saturday night!  I was SO tired and should not have driven home.  Thank our good Lord for keeping me safe and giving me a dear friend like Annette to talk to!  Interesting conversation it was. 

Well it is Monday - so it is sketch time! 

Add your Linky if you play with the sketch!

This one will be a challenge I think - play with embellishments, punches and your colluzzle cutter or other circle cutter. 

I will be unloading and organizing my studio this week - it will be nice to get it all put back together after being a total wreck for so long.  I have a TACnique class on Thursday and a crop Friday night in Wamego.  Oh ya - if you are interested in another all day crop - the girls at Celebrations are planning one in Wamego on June 13th.  You can check it out here:
June Celebrations crop.

Busy busy with prep for this weekend - I will get back on track next week!  Although it might not be until Wednesday!

I went with the suggested circle for the focal image. Maybe if I have more time to play today I will do another one with an alternate shape there - like a cut out or???  I really like this sketch - especially since i used up some scraps in making it!  That stamp set - is really really my favorite stamp set from the Spring Serendipity!  If you need a Spring Serendipity I am still offering them for FREE with a $30 order!  Just e-mail me your order - and when I place it I will add in a FREE Serendipity for you.  It is a great idea book - and there are some great new stamp sets and accessoires in it too!  

So...it's my birthday today - whoo hoo!!!  My kiddos sung Happy Birthday to me right before they left for school (after being reminded by dad of course) and my sister called me from Ohio to deliver her happy birthday wishes.  The serenade was pretty cute - Logan wanted to sing to me and Laney didn't.  LOL!   I have gotten a ton of facebook bday wishes which is so fun to see popping into my e-mail.  I wanted to do some BLOG CANDY for my birthday - so get those comments rolling!   What shall I give away?  Anyone want some stamps embellishments and papers???  I will have to dig thru my stash and pull out some treasures....

Monday Sketch 64 - feelin the mojo rolling!

I had a great weekend - and hope you did too!  I was in my studio almost the entire weekend!  Not cleaning, not sorting tax receipts, but creating!  The projects for Round Up and coming out OZ-some!  I am so excited - only 10 days and a WAKE UP!  WOW!  I still have LOTS to do!

Even though we had exceeded our maximum occupancy for the house on Saturday - we survived - Eric and I that is!  It is a good thing that it was not a school morning that the time change fell on.  I could tell Laney in particular was behind the ball on snooze time. 

We went to a dinner for the Wrestling team - potluck for which I made Chicken and Dumplings - YUMM!  I even sent DJ in to the store in his car all by his lonesome.  I showed the empty containers of each thing so he woud know what it looked like this time!  He did good.  On the way home though for some reason Laney said something about calling Logan Mr. Crabs from now on because he is so grouchy lately.  SO then we went thru all of us and picked which character from SPonge Bob we were most like.  HA!  Laney thought she should be Sandy - I explained to her what a nice person Sandy is and how helpful and loving she is to everyone.  I tried to tell Laney she should be Plankton - because she is always wanting what Logan has and to be everything has to be fair etc. - not to mention he is pretty mean! I was assigned - shoot I can't remember her name now is it LuLu?- but it is Mr Crabs daughter - who is a dingy princess who does not like to work - which is pretty fnny that Laney thought I should be her.  DJ said he wanted to be Patrick.  And Eric?  He is the Head Driving teacher (over Mrs. Puff) who is a beefy Shark looking dude.  How funny!

Well I had best be kicking it into gear for the day - my list is long and the hours are only so many!
