sssc65

Wow i wonder if i can keep this up every week, all these challenge submissions lol. This is for this weeks sweet sunday sketch challenge - sssc65.


While i was blog surfing this afternoon i came accross Dawn's stamping studio where i found her tutorial for these just gorgeous paper flowers, so i just had to give them a try. then When i looked up the sssc for this week i was very happy to see a circle just perfect for my just made flower. So this card bascially started with the flower and went from there.

thanks so much for taking the time to have a squiz

I have used Kiwi Kiss as my card base, Chololate chip and Close to Cocoa ink on my Medallion stamp, and Barely Banana as the card stock for the inside circle of the medalion, i didn't have any Barely Banana ribbon, so i used so saffron. As close as i could get to babrely banana.

A New Beginning

This is the start of a new beginning for me. I am hoping that by starting this Blog that I will be able to build on my skills and be able to share it along the way. I love blog-hopping other stampers blogs and getting ideas. I want to thank my wonderful Friend Lee for the support in doing this and helping me with my cards and supplies along the way. if it wasn't for her I probably would have given up long ago, but instead I am loving it. we may be on different sides of the country but with the help of the internet you have become a very dear friend.
