TGIF 368 Fresh Cut Flowers Sketch Challenge

Who can believe it is Friday!? Lets not talk about what the actual date is... I mean if your into superstitions, that is on you! It has been a week of cooties, sports physicals, pigs, and end of the school year shenanigans. Funny because as I type this, the song "Mi Vida Loca" comes on... Welcome to my crazy life! This weekend will be filled with Baseball, Laundry and Yard Work!!! The wind has been obnoxious!! We have a fresh harvest of tumbleweeds now surrounding our house. I have made time to be creative though!


Today I chose to not be a slacker or maybe I chose to not let life get in the way... However you want to look at it! The TGIF Challenge for this week is a fun sketch where I chose to pair the Fresh Cut Flowers with the Tailor Made Tags Dies to create this interpretation of this sketch! 


When I started this card, I knew I wanted to use this NEW stamp set. I chose to use my Stamparatus with Memento Tuxedo Black ink because the die cut tag from the Tailor Made Tags was initially a strip much like the one in the sketch. After wanting to add a bit of "something" (you crafters will get it) I chose to die cut the strip into the tag! My love for our Subtle color family returns with my Stampin' Blends in Petal Pink, Soft Seafoam, Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent to color my spotlighted piece. I have used my Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker to create the splatters along with my Clear Wink of Stella. I have accented this with our Elegant Faceted Gems. The sentiment is from the returning stamp set Wildlife Wonder and is heat embossed in gold. This is nicely layered onto a piece of Soft Seafoam cardstock and accented with a piece of the Brushed Gold Cardstock. To keep with the soft feeling of this card I chose to Thick Basic White as our base!

I am so excited to be back in the swing of things! I can't wait to see what you create with this weeks challenge! You can get all the details by clicking the sketch image above!

Happy Friday!

TGIF 352 Sweet Conversations

TGIF!!! I am sure glad it is Friday! The kids have been fighting whatever cooties I had last week. Nothing alarming...Everyone is back at school today! HOORAY!!! I have been working on cleaning and purging a craft room... We shall see how that goes over the weekend, because with the kids home the last few days... nothing got done!


Today I am back with my favorite friends and design team TGIF! I have been on the struggle bus when it comes to creating. Its time to get back into creating with a sense of joy, creativity and those AHA moments. When I took a peek at the challenge for today... You, if you have followed for a while know that I do not like hearts... Its a thing, its been thing for a LONG TIME... but I knew immediately that I would be pairing the Fresh Freesia with Basic Black! Little did I know that I would reach for my Sweet Conversations stamp set for this cutie... Lets take a look!!!


Once I knew what color scheme I was going with it didn't long before I started to create the card. I started with a piece of Basic White that is trimmed down to 3" x 4". Starting with the Fresh Freesia ink first, I stamped the larger heart from the Sweet Conversations stamp set in a line across. I found that it stamped better if I stamped off slightly. Next, I took the the smaller of the similar style of hearts and stamped them in black. I used Memento Tuxedo Black but you can use Stazon if you prefer! Once this was done I used the brush tip from my Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker to create some splatters.  Now that this was done I embossed my piece of Fresh Freesia card stock with our new Gingham Embossing Folder. I chose to use the stripe from the Pattern Party Host Paper as it seems to be just the right touch. My cute little scallop strip is from the Friendly Hello Bundle in the Sale-A-Bration catalog. It was die cut with that cute little border from the Peony Dies. The sentiment is heat embossed with White Stampin' Emboss powder on a strip of Basic Black. Once all of my card front elements were adhered, I added a cute little bow with our Black and White 1/4" Gingham (See a theme here?) and a few of the 2021-2023 In Color Jewels. 

I am so glad you stopped by today to see my card! I can't wait to see what you create with this weeks inspiration challenge! You can get all the TGIF Challenges details by clicking the link above!

Have a great weekend!

TGIF Challenges 332 Natures Harvest

Happy Friday, Two days in a row with blog posts! Like I said, I am doing my best to return to my normal! Wesley had to be at school a bit early to greet the students arriving on the buses at school today with the rest of the football team! I am sure it was a pretty special moment. We get to go to our first football game tonight, last weeks was over 6 hours away and just not financially in the cards. Especially since Wesley is not varsity and that is okay! 


Today I find myself joining my TGIF Challenges Friends for a color challenge for you. At first you may think Christmas or Holiday when seeing this challenge. I decided to go with a Fall like spin and I can't wait to show you what I have created with the Natures Harvest Bundle!


This card started as a "Never mind it didn't come out the way I wanted it" type card. I had water-colored the flower stamp with my Water Painters using Cherry Cobbler. Cinnamon Cider and Mossy Meadow inks and didn't really like it and set it aside. After returning to my craft room the next day, they weren't as bad as I had thought. In fact, I loved them! This set has amazing coordinating dies and I used them to die cut the flowers and the Cork spray behind them. The Blender Brushes get used a ton in my craft room and I chose to use a bit of Cinnamon Cider in the back ground. The splatters are Early Espresso and a much needed added touch. Our Adhesive Sheets are perfect to use with our Cork and did the trick. With the flowers popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals. A bit of Cinnamon Cider card stock stamped with Cinnamon Cider with the Knit Together Background Stamp was a fabulous accent to this fall themed card. I have added a bit of Linen Thread and Matte Metallic Dots. When the Mossy Meadow sentiment got stamped it wasn't inked enough BUT looked distressed much like the card, so it was one of those happy accidents! A rich mat of Cherry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow card base and this beauty was finished!

I can't wait to see what you create for this weeks challenge! Just click the challenge graphic above to play along!
Have a fabulous day!

TGIF 322 Farmhouse Chic Designer Takeover

Thank goodness it is Friday! The last time I posted was two weeks ago. It has been a really difficult two weeks. On June 13th our family got word of a horrible single car accident with 4 teenagers in the car. Two of the kids were flown out and the others were treated and walked away.  One of them was Wesley's friend. Not just any friend, Owen was a boy with a heart of gold and never did anything malicious and early on the following Monday, his mom called to tell me that he did not make it. It has been so hard to process for myself and Wesley. Things are slowly moving forward and I can't thank this community enough for the support being given to not only Owen's family but to our teenagers and those of us grieving... 
Enough about that! So I have been trying to stamp again, it really isn't a conducive to cry while stamping it can make a mess! My personal goal was to not cry this week. I had already failed on Monday... but I have had better luck as the week has gone on! When Jeanna reminded me that this week was my challenge I started to overthink things... in typical Andrea fashion of course. 


There is nothing more farmhouse than the kitchen and slowly started to piece together what was running through my mind as farmhouse. So for today's card I have used the What's Cookin' Bundle with the Pattern Party DSP and of course In Good Taste DSP. Let me you show you what I have created!


I started with the stamped  utensils in Gray Granite, Crumb Cake, Smoky Slate and Jet Black Stazon. I love that these all have coordinating dies. The cutting board is cut out of Crumb Cake but I used a Blending Brush with Soft Suede to ink it up a bit. If you are a Hobby Lobby person you will know that the Black and White Buffalo Check is a thing in farmhouse trends. This strip from the Pattern Party DSP is nicely layered over a piece of Soft Succulent Cardstock. This sits over a piece of wood paper from the In Good Taste DSP. What can be more farmhouse than wood, right?! The sentiment is heat embossed in White Stampin' Emboss Powder. Once I arranged everything and adhered them I added a nice little Linen Thread bow! I just love how this all came together on my Crumb Cake card base! 

Now it is your turn! Design a card with YOUR version of Farmhouse Chic! I can't wait to see what everyone creates! Have an amazing weekend!

TGIF Challenges 316 Create With Friends Sketch

Okay first thing is first, IT IS FRIDAY!!! I spent yesterday afternoon not using my time wisely. I decided to go watch the high school baseball game. My best friends son pitched 5 perfect innings and we won the game 13-0. It was a double header and we decided to leave 2 innings into the second game because it seemed to be along the same lines as far as us scoring. When we got home, Taryn and I ended up walking a few pigs before doing barn chores. I did a quick dinner with Pork Chops that was ready right as Troy got home from a service call! PHEW!!! I still found time to create but it was before all of this above... I am a morning crafter!!!


This sketch killed me for an hour... I decided to set aside what I had started on initially because I couldn't make it work. I have a secret sister for an upcoming retreat and decided to work on a project for her, not realizing subconsciously, that it was our sketch! Let me show you what I have created!


Yes, this is not a card but still followed the sketch and was so fun to make! I have paired the Create with Friends with the Artistically Inked Bundle as well as the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. My color combo used is the Polished Pink, Granny Apple Green and Coastal Cabana. I chose these colors as they seemed to be the closest to the note pad inside. After stamping and die cutting the flowers from the Artistically Inked bundle I set them aside to work on the sentiment portion. The sentiment is from the Create With Friends and heat embossed in Silver over the top of a Coastal Cabana stamped background also from the Artistically Inked. It is die cut with a scalloped rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly dies. I have accented this with the clear Elegant Faceted Gems. The Basic Black base is nicely matted with a layer of Polished Pink and Pattern Play DSP. To close this cute little notepad holder I have used the Black Glitter Organdy Ribbon. I have given a couple of different views below! 



This is a perfect example of thinking a bit outside of the box for a card sketch! Its amazing how this great little notepad holder came together! I hope my secret sister enjoys it as much as I did creating this for her! 

Now it is your turn to create with this sketch! I can't wait to see what you make!
Have an amazing weekend!

TGIF 310 Sweet Ice Cream Color Challenge

Thank Goodness It is Friday! It was nice to not have to rally the troops for school this morning! They do not have school because today is "Good Friday". So we have started the morning with the normal bickering and arguing but peace and tranquility have been restored!


Earlier this week I stumbled on a Facebook Live with LeeAnn Greff where she featured different designs using up scrap pieces of card stock! I couldn't help but be inspired by this idea. For today's TGIF Design Team we are playing with Blushing Bride, Flirty Flamingo and Pool Party!  I have paired these scraps with the Sweet Ice Cream Bundle for this fun and cheerful card!


This card started with 1/2" strips of the three colors we are using for todays color challenge. If you are anything like me, you will have plenty of scraps! I created a pattern and made a herringbone like pattern on a piece of Basic White card stock. Once this was all done, I trim the ends with my Paper Snips. The colors were perfect from my double scoops. First I stamped the Blushing Bride scoop and added some Flirty Flamingo sprinkles. Next I stamped the second scoop in Flirty Flamingo! The cone was stamped in Crumb Cake stamped off first and then I added the cross hatch pattern! A bit of Pool Party sprinkles accented with the Holiday Rhinestones and a Flirty Flamingo sentiment and this cutie was done!

I can't wait to see what you guys create for this weeks challenge! These are such amazing colors for you to get creative with!

TGIF Challenges 300 New Catalog Inspiration

I know! You all are like OH MY Gosh! Four blog posts in a week! I have really been creatively driven lately. It may be the Dollar General Farmhouse group I recently joined or maybe the Rae Dunn display groups.  I have been trying to spruce up some of our décor around the house. I like to think that I was decorating Farmhouse before farmhouse was cool! Troy and I have always like rustic type things. Not southwest!!! 

 Enough about that! After a hiatus or sabbatical of sorts I am back creating with TGIF Design Team!!


 This week the TGIF Team is creating with inspiration from the January-June 2021 Mini Catalog! My first bundle I had to have was the Simply Succulents Bundle! This is going to amazing bundle to play with, and I can't wait to show you what I have created!


I recently participated in a smaller demo swap where we have to designate which stamp sets and or bundles we want to use. I immediately responded with the Simply Succulents and the Flowering Cactus Medley! Then the over thinking commenced! When I started creating with this bundle it was amazing to see how soft and delicate it could be! I started with the layer of Very Vanilla and chose to use our adhesive sheets to cut the Soft Seafoam card front die. The cluster is also on Very Vanilla but heat embossed with Stampin' Emboss Gold. It is popped over the top of a bit of the Blushing Bride 3/8" Metallic Ribbon. The Simply Succulents Bundle has some really cute label like dies that I stamped the sentiment using Blushing Bride with. It was also popped up with Stampin' Dimensionals. I wasn't quite sure how to gently embellish this but a go to of mine is the Elegant Faceted Dots in the Annual Catalog. With my Blushing Bride card base and Gray Granite mat this card was finished!

I am so glad you stopped by to see my inspiration for this weeks challenge! I can't wait to see what inspires you from the new catalog!

TGIF Challenges 280 Have A Cozy Christmas


It has been a doozy of a week. Between all the the back to school stuff, Josh had his appointment at Children's in Denver. It was a 4 hour appointment and while I know that it was really grueling for Josh, the 6 hours in the car round trip on top of that, wipes a Momma out! The good news was that Taryn cleaned the kitchen while I was gone. She is an expert organizer and did an amazing job!


I am back with my TGIF Design Team friends creating with one of my favorite color combos. I have always loved the combination of Pear Pizzazz and Blushing Bride and what better than Soft Suede too?! I have decided to make this color combo into something "Holiday" like with the returning favorite Merry Moose. Let me show you what I have created.


This card started with a piece of Very Vanilla Card Stock. I have stamped it using the Birch Background Stamp with Soft Suede Ink. After stamping it, I decided to sponge it a bit to give it a bit more of a vintage like feel. Next, I embossed a piece of Blushing Bride Card Stock with the Tasteful Textile 3D Embossing Folder. After I had it embossed I tore the edge and sponged it a bit with the Soft Suede ink and accented it with a bit of the Open Weave Vanilla Ribbon in the Forever Greenery Ribbon Combo Pack. After stamping the tree in Pear Pizzazz, I chose to die cut it with the tag die from the North Pole  Wonder Dies. It too was sponged before the Heat Embossed Gold sentiment. My Moose, stamped in Soft Suede on Soft Suede and accented with a Blushing Bride scarf was the perfect touch. The bow made of the Open Weave Ribbon with Gold Bakers Twine was just the right touch. A soft curl of the corner and a Wonderful Gem accent and this beauty was done!

I can't wait to see what you create with this weeks challenge! Have an amazing weekend!

TGIF 262 Color Challenge Wash Your Hands

Thank Goodness It's Friday! I am sure that many of you are glad it is Friday and may be waking up to what will lead to your new normal! Salon's can officially open here today in Colorado! We have plans to plant our garden over the weekend after I make a trip to the green house today and we may take a family road trip to Home Depot... The kids are itching to get out of the house and see their friends and I am not sure that I am ready for all of that quite yet!


Today I am on the TGIF Challenges Design Team with an amazing and cheerful color challenge for you all to play along with! This challenge is great because you can't help but smile while using these colors and I think many of us need to smile more lately! Stampin' Up! has responded to Covid-19 Pandemic with an amazing digital download, proceeds from this will go to COVID relief. There is a TON of sentiment that are perfect for everything going on and I couldn't wait to use it! You can get the download here https://covid19.stampinup.com/products/giving-back-us-ca 


Are you smiling yet??? How can you not?! I started this card by cutting assorted sized strips of Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana, and Daffodil Delight then adhered them to a base of Whisper White. It is nicely matted with Coastal Cabana with a base of Calypso Coral. I chose the Sweetly Swirled stamp set, sadly these fun little scribbled circles are retiring, so if you love them you are going to want to snag them in my store NOW! Once I stamped in Versamark and sprinkled it with Stampin' Emboss White Powder, I zapped it with my Heat Tool. The sentiment is from our Share the Sunshine Digital Stamp set, again it is a PDF, and all I did was use my Whisper White card stock to print onto! I have fussy cut the Wash Your Hands sentiment and layered it onto the Starburst of Daffodil Delight, a banner of Calypso Coral and a label from the Tags & More Accessory Kit that will also be bidding us a fond farewell! A bit of the Whisper White Flax Ribbon and a few Basic Rhinestones and this adorable card of cheer was done!

I can't wait to see what you create for this fun and cheerful challenge!
Have an AMAZING weekend!

TGIF Challenges 247 Happy Birthday

Happy Friday to all of you! I am so glad that the weekend is upon us and I am sure the kids are too. There will be much folding and cleaning this weekend as it seems that everyone has forgotten how to fold the laundry or even bring it to the laundry room to be washed. The Christmas Tree needs to be put away as well... it is undecorated, and WAY earlier than years past!


Today I am designing with the TGIF Challenges Design team with a fun Happy Birthday challenge. It has been so hard for me to create anything but Valentines this last week as that is what my focus will be for class this weekend. Let me show you what I have made.


I started this card with the "Hooray" sentiment from Broadway Birthday. This was created using my Stamparatus and the Hinge Step technique. Bermuda Bay, Coastal Cabana, Mango Melody, Grapefruit Grove and Terracotta Tile was used on Whisper White card stock. Then I used the scalloped rectangle from the new Stitched So Sweetly Dies to cut it out. This is layered over 2 pieces of the Birthday Bonanza DSP. A stitched circle of Daffodil Delight to hold my sentiment banner and my party supplies from Broadway Birthday are layered over a bit of Whisper White Polka Dot Tulle. What's a birthday without some sequins? The Metallic Bakers Twine & Sequins Combo pack from the Sale A Bration catalog worked out great. A Bermuda Bay card base with Grapefruit Grove Mat made this card really pop!! Oops! Did I mention the Wink Of Stella!? It is on the party supplies!! I have provided a close up below! 


I can't wait to see what you create with this amazing birthday theme. Thank You so much for stopping by today! I hope you have an amazing weekend!

TGIF Challenge 232 Painted Harvest

Friday! Friday! I know that most of us can't wait until Friday, although it seems like lately my work whatever it may be is NEVER done! Wesley has his last football game of the season tomorrow and starts up basketball next week. I was silly to think that I would have a lull! 

Click Here for Full Challenge Details

Today I am participating with the TGIF Design Team and this amazing color challenge that will definitely get you creating for fall! I inked up an old favorite Painted Harvest to play along with!


Somehow when I think of fall, I think of pumpkins and earthy toned flower arrangements that feature sunflowers and eucalyptus. Which is kind of the direction I was going when I created the card for today! My wood frame is created with Crumb Cake card stock and stamped with Early Espresso using the Birch background stamp. I made the frame with the Rectangle Stitched Dies. I stamped a bit of a background using the fern like stamps from Painted Harvest with Pretty Peacock and Crumb Cake inks. My Grapefruit Grove stamped sunflower is fussy cut and layered a few Linen Thread loops. I stamped the leaves in Pretty Peacock as well and distressed them a bit with Crumb Cake ink. This is nicely matted onto a layer of Pretty Peacock and is on a base of Crumb Cake!

Thank You so much for stopping by today! I can't wait to see what you create for this weeks challenge!

TGIF Challenge 226 Modern Heart Splatter


Happy Friday!!! Are you ready for the weekend!? The kids are not back at school until next week! The days are being counted...trust me!!! Wesley has a football scrimmage tomorrow! The kid is pumped for football this year. It kind of took me by surprise. He tends to always take the easy road, so I thought that after playing last year... this year was questionable. I am excited too, I like being the loudest mom there!

The TGIF Challenges has a fun and what can be messy challenge for you this week! The challenge this week is Splatter and we all know I love to splatter!


Confession time, this card has been made for a while now... I actually used it as a swap card when the Annual Catalog went live in June. Let me show you what I have made!


This card started with my Whisper White card front. I have found that using an old Aqua Painter with a mixture of Multipurpose Liquid Glue and Water is the best way for me to make my splatters. Once you have splattered this mixture you sprinkle what ever embossing powder you would like! I chose to use the Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder. You will want to be sure you use your embossing buddy when doing this that way the powder doesn't stick in places you don't want it to! A nice Gold Foil banner was perfect with this. The heart is also heat embossed in gold over a background of Flirty Flamingo this great stamp is from the Modern Heart stamp set. I chose to use the largest stitched circle from the Stitched Shapes Dies to cut this out. It is adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals over the banner and some Whisper White Bakers Twine! The sentiment is stamped in Gray Granite and then also die cut with Stitched Shapes Dies. To give a bit more umph, I have added a few Metallic Pearls for some visual texture. 

I can't wait to see the beautiful mess that you make for this challenge! Thanks for stopping by!!!

TGIF Challenges 221 Christmas In July

Good Friday to all of you! I have been a bit absent this week. I was called on Sunday by my friend Amy's husband... needless to say it was not good news. Amy had passed away from cancer. Something she chose to not tell many of us close to her. I believe she did this with good intentions. She wouldn't have wanted any of us constantly checking on her or to be sad. She would have wanted us to be all our sassy selves! I am going to miss her like crazy, 20 years of friendship doesn't just go away...

I was finally able to sit down and make a card yesterday. I had the intentions of making more than one as I wanted to do a blog hop yesterday. Time nor the outside temperature was my friend. This week with the TGIF Challenges Design Team we are creating with a Christmas In July theme!

 Click Here For Challenge Details

With the new Annual Catalog only being live for about a month, Christmas Cards or even the theme have been the least of my worries. When looking at my stamps to create today's card for you, I didn't have very many options! Making Christmas Bright was one of my favorite stamp sets from our 2018 Holiday catalog and I was soooo happy to see it make a return! Let me show you what I have made!


This card started with a layer of Real Red card stock. I have stamped the star pattern at the top right for just an added something. I have nice piece of Granny Apple Green gingham paper from the Brights DSP pack. This has a strip of Real Red card stock with a layer of Real Red DSP. I have taken the Scallop Tag Topper and Granny Apple Green card stock to make a cute little tag by stamping the Christmas light pattern on it with Granny Apple Green ink. My 2 1/4" Circle was perfect for the circle pattern in this stamp set. This is heat embossed in White Stampin' Emboss Powder. A nice Pearlized Doily was just the pop I was looking for when layering this cutie up. I have fussy cut the sentiment and adhered it with Stampin' Dimensionals. Some White Bakers Twine, Polka Dot Tulle and a few Glitter Enamel Dots and this card was done!

I can't wait to see ALL of your Christmas creations! 
Have a fabulous day!

TGIF Challenges 220 Sketch Challenge

Happy Friday! Do you have big plans for your weekend? We are heading down to the south east corner of Colorado to celebrate Mr. Tucker's birthday!! It will be fun for sure. The kids will finally get to see the new Toy Story, we plan on hitting the pool and having a game night. The possibilities are endless though!

This week with the TGIF Challenges we have a sketch for you! You can get all the details by clicking below!
I went a bit abstract when interpreting the sketch this week. I had plans to use the design I started for a sketch but when one of my Stampin' Blends ran out of ink   (couldn't get the replacement in time to finish my swaps) I decided to go a different direction, which left me with 21 one of these Good Morning Magnolia stamped using the Wild Rose Dies to mess with... Let me show you what I have for you today!



No matter what I tried while taking pictures I felt like I couldn't get a good shot. The card started with a piece of Thick Whisper White Card Stock. I used the Good Morning Magnolia stamp with Early Espresso ink. It is nicely matted with Early Espresso card stock and Pool Party card base!
Then I chose to use the stitched label like die from the Wild Rose Dies. I only colored what was on that die cut. I have used the Rococo Rose and Old Olive Blends combo's to color the flower. I have accented it with a bit of a Light Pool Party Shadow and Light Crumb Cake Center. It needs a bit of Clear Wink of Stella to set it off! A bit of Linen Thread, Copper Heat Embossed Sentiment and a few pearls and this beauty was done. 

Thank You so much for stopping by today! I can't wait to see all the different interpretations that you come up with this beautiful sketch!

TGIF 216 To A Wild Rose Sketch Challenge

TGIF!!! I am a bit late to the party... But Summer Break is kicking my rear! The kids and I FINALLY went to the pool on Thursday... It was refreshing, they really don't need me there but with everything with Josh, it is just better that I be there for now. 

This week with TGIF Challenges Mercedes has whipped up a really great sketch and we ALL know that a sketch is really left up to interpretation! 


I have inked up the "To A Wild Rose" stamp set on numerous occasions... But have yet to complete a card with it. I decided to flip the sketch and make a Landscape style card with it. Let me show you what I have made today!

This shabby chic card started with the flower. I made this beautiful flower using two of the stamps from the To A Wild Rose stamp set. I first inked up the solid like image with Flirty Flamingo ink and stamped it off to get a lighter color. Next I used the stamp set with more texture, again I inked up with Flirty Flamingo but I did not stamp off this time. There is a stamp in the set that has the outline but I chose to not use it. I did stamp the center with Crumb Cake. I was so excited when this set had coordinating dies to die cut the flower! The leaves are also from this bundle. Again I decided to stamp off my Old Olive ink first then stamped the line type stamp at full strength. The die actually cuts the leaves as a cluster, I chose to fussy cut one off and use it in another spot. A nice wood banner from the Pressed Petals DSP was just the right touch over my Crumb Cake background from the Gallery Grunge stamp set. A touch of the Scallop Lace Trim and a Copper Heat Embossed sentiment was just the right touch!

Thank You so much for stopping by today! I can't wait to see what you create with this amazing sketch!
