Tuesday Morning Sketches #608

 Hello! Thank you for stopping by.  The latest sketch is up at Tuesday Morning Sketches and I think it's whimsical and easy.  But I have to be honest, I struggled with it.  But once I got going, it came together pretty quickly and I'm happy with the results.

My card features paper and card stock that's leftover some a Simon Says Stamp card kit  or two.  Reverse Scallop circle dies and Stitched Circle die from Pink and Main, flowers and sentiment dies from two different Small Die of Month kits from Spellbinders and Love Stripes embossing folder from FSJ (I think that's the name of it).  I kept this super simple, no inking, just using my favorite Bearly Art glue to put the flowers together and stick it all down.  It's very pink!


This is a super sweet little note card and it's going in the mail tomorrow to my cancer patient I send cards to.   I think she'll love it.

Okay, well at the time that this blog post publishes I am just a few hours away from being a homeowner.  I am still not excited.  I am scared of what I got myself into.  I know this is going to be a good thing for me.  No more rent, no more moving, this is mine and no one can tell me not to paint my kitchen pink if I wanted to - I don't want to, I'm just sayin' that it's something I can do and it's okay.  I have very high hopes to move out the weekend of the 19th.  I'm actually going to start right away, moving whatever I can that isn't needed for day to day living.  I want to have a garage sale, too.  I want to earn the money it'll take to replace the glass on my curio cabinet that got broken in the last move.  Oh, so much to think about and do and I'm just running on and on.  You don't want to know any of this!  LOL  Go on, go create, I'll see you over at the TMS blog.
