Sweet Sunday Sketch #267

Hello!!! It's Sunday, which means it's Sweet Sunday Sketch time!!! This week, I'm over on the Gold Coast (Queensland) for the Stampin' Up! Convention. It's always an exciting time.. beautiful friends, old and new, fabulous Stampin' time and amazing NEW goodies to be seen!! I'll post more on that soon!

I really enjoyed this weeks sketch... it's awesome to use for a QUICK card, and I'll definitely be using this one again!

Here is my card for this week's sketch:-

Here is the sketch for you to play along with:-

I've used my favourite and go to colour combo.. partly because it's my FAVE and partly because I'm making this card just before I jump on a plane!!.. I was doing SO well, being organised a few weeks in advance... Anyhoo... it's done, it's posted and I can breathe!!

So, Soft Suede, Crisp Cantaloupe and Pink Pirouette are the colours of choice, some GORGEOUS Burlap and Lace and a little bit of Typeset DSP!

The stamp set is Kinda Eclectic, a FAVOURITE!!! 

Please stop by the Sweet Sunday Sketch blog and find out all the details for this sketch, while you're there you can add your very own creation to the Inlinkz too! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Sweet Sunday Sketch #251

Happy Sunday!!! Oh, and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year. My beautiful family and I have just returned from a little holiday getaway, which was SO much fun and very relaxing.

I'm back into it now, although feeling VERY rusty!!!. I haven't stamped or crafted in about a month, so please, be gently on me today!

Here is my card for today:-

And here is the sketch for you to play along with:-

I've gone for my SAFE colours today... Crisp Cantaloupe, Naturals Ivory and Soft Suede... a combination that never seems to fail. I decided to FINALLY ink up my Choose Happiness stamp set today and combined it with another favourite, Kinda Eclectic, with a few splotches of Gorgeous Grunge. The colours I used for stamping were, Pistachio Pudding, Crisp Cantaloupe and Soft Suede. I've added some other staples, Burlap Ribbon, Vintage Lace, Crumb Cake seam binding and some bling!

To finish off, I thought I'd share a quick pic of my BEAUTIFUL family... we take a family shot every year (although we were a little late last year, so it ended up being a New Year shot... shhhh), usually in the same kind of pose, so we can see how much we've changed over the past year... well mainly how much the girls have changed...!

Sooo.... Happiest of NEW YEARS to your families from mine!!!

Thanks for much for stopping by.
