139!

Hi everyone!

I hope you're ready for another sketch! Here it is. It's time to do a bit of sentiment mix and matching!

Here's my card:

Originally I had planned to die cut out the letters for the big happy. Unfortunately, I had done a bit of reorganizing a while back, and have no idea where I placed my alphabet die sets. Oh well, it's been that kind of week! I decided to make use of the Fresh Alphabet stamp set instead, it really was the perfect size! I was also going to make a background out of the larger lined image from Modern Basics. However, I wasn't having a good time lining them up. You win some, you lose some. But that got me thinking, wouldn't it be nice to see a Modern Basics impression plate??

Supplies:

• Stamps: Modern Basics, Birthday Bash Sentiments, Fresh Alphabet (Papertrey Ink)
• Ink: Grape Jelly
• Paper: Simply Chartreuse, Royal Velvet, White
• Accessories, etc.: Ribbon, button, twine, corner rounder, Diamonds impression plate

As always, if you play along, feel free to leave a link to your project!

FTL 137 Enjoy The Moment

I hope that everyone is enjoying some time with family and friends this long weekend... it looks like spring may actually be coming for Easter this year where I live....  I'm going to break out the flipflops today even though there is still snow in my grass (in the shady areas of the yard).

I had fun with this layout.... and knew I needed to use some nice spring like colours to lift my spirits after the less than wonderful weather we've had in the last several weeks...

Items Used:
*Cardstock:  PTI White; Stampin' Up! Soft Sky, Old Olive
*Images:  PTI Mega Mixed Messages; Inkadinkadoo Dot Flourishes; My Sentiments Exactly Little Birdie
*Ink:  Stampin' Up! Old Olive, So Saffron, Soft Sky
*Embellishments:  Stampin' Up! Pink Pirouette twill


I wonder if I should have added a little bling to my flowers.....

I can't wait to see what you create!
