Retro Sketches #4 and JUGS 129 {Pretty in Pink}

Just a quick post tonight and then I am off to bed. I am pooped after my first day back to work after Spring Break. Both my hubby and I were laughing at how exhausted we were today!  Anyway, I wanted to play along with Arielle's new sketch challenge called "Retro Sketches". The sketch this week is awesome and if you get the chance, you should really give it a go

I found some pretty pink paper in my stash and created the card below.  I used a flower die from My Favourite Things and also used my Bird Punch from SU! for the leaves.  The sentiment is from the current Sale-A-Bration set called " Elementary Elegance.  The mix of designer papers is from my scrap box and some odds and ends I wanted to use.  

Over at Just Us Girls, they are having a Template Challenge and it was to make 4 cards all the same with the sentiments on the side so it could be a gift for someone and they could choose the sentiments to use.  I thought this was a cool idea and went along and created 4 more cards for this challenge using the terrific "Retro" sketch.

Thank you for stopping by!  I hope your Monday was good, at least it is done!  I have lots going on this week and I will admit I am behind! I am off to watch my favourite TV show called 'SMASH", I love it SO much!!! Then off to bed for me!!

Freshly Made Sketch #11-Just for You

Happy Wednesday stamping friends!  This week is lovely Linda's sketch and I love it SO much! I decided to flip the sketch on its side.  I was playing with some new pattern paper from "My Mind's Eye" called Lost and Found Blush. Here is the sketch below.

The flower was created using the Prima Donna Petals Die from My Favourite Things. The sentiment is from Stampin' Up.  I inked up the flower with some Regal Rose ink.  The side panel is a punch I just picked up but cannot remember the name of! Sorry!  We hope that you will join Freshly Made Sketches this week!  Please be sure to visit the other DT Members to see their wonderful creations!
