Hello, friends! Thanks for stopping by today! It has been 3 weeks since my surgery! Things are starting to look better! Yeah! I actually made it downstairs yesterday to work on the project I am sharing today. It was the first time I even tried to do anything creative since the surgery. I so miss it. But I am confident that things are going to start to return to normal, and I couldn't be happier about that. :) I miss you all.
Well today
Skipping Stones Design is excited to be releasing another BEAUTIFUL stamp set! It is called
Beautiful Botanicals and it is a must have!!!
And, even better, Skipping Stones has joined up with the fabulous
Scor-Pal team for an amazing blog hop! The hop will begin at the
Scor-Pal blog and will finish off at the
Skipping Stones blog! If you came from
Tami's blog you are already on track! If not, you may want to hop on back to
Scor-Pal to join in on ALL the fun!
Don't forget to leave comments!
Skipping Stones Design will be giving away one stamp set to a lucky winner AND Scor-Pal is giving away a Scor-Buddy, so there is lots to win!
So here is the new sketch for this week at Skipping Stones:
The sketch was created by the fabulous
Angi Barrs. I hope you take the challenge and play along with us! *
You do NOT have to have Skipping Stones Design stamps to play along!*
And here is what I created:
It is actually a thin folder. I used the Scor-Buddy and scored lines to make the folds. Really, I just winged the design. And it's good enough for me. :)
I have some sheets that go inside. You can see them now like this:
I
could leave them as is, as stationary. But I either want to hand-write notes from each of us on the cards, or make mini scrapbook pages. I've already made a couple, and I will let my kids help by making their own too. :)
Here are the two I created:
The beautiful papers are all from
The ScrapCake, from their
The Bright Side of Life collection. Yep, still lovin' that one! :)
And of course, I used the new
Beautiful Botanicals stamp set.
Now it's YOUR turn! Join in the sketch challenge this week by creating a card using the featured sketch and link up to the Skipping Stones site for your chance to win FREE stamps!
