Happy Thursday my blogland PEEPS! I am so stoked for today...my baby sista and I are getting packed up to head out to Banff, AB (Rocky Mountains) to do some hiking, sightseeing, SHOPPING, and a wonderful day at the Banff Springs Hotel Spa! I am sooo looking forward to it :) One can never go wrong with fresh mountain air, Starbuck's coffee and a day at the spa.....
*SNAP!* Ok, back to reality now .... LOL... our hostess-with-the-mostess over at
4 Crafty Chicks this week is
Melissa and she came up with this "interesting" yet gorgeous photo for us to create with. I must admit, the only thing I kept seeing when I came back to look at this picture was a BIG PUMPKIN in my vision :) But, alas, I overcame that vision and found I could overcome my inspirational block - I think my card turned out pretty good...here's the picture:
so...then I was in need of a sketch to follow for this wonderful inspirational idea I had....and of course, the Mojo Monday sketch was the perfect fit for the image I chose:
...and without further adieu, here is my card using both challenges:
Stamps: Upsy Daisy; Paper: Whisper White, Garden Green, So Saffron, Peach Parfait DP; Ink: Garden Green; Accessories: So Saffron, Peach Parfait and Garden Green markers, green pearls, dimensionals, So Saffron ribbon, Martha border punchI realize my ribbon isn't quite like the sketch asks us to use it, but I had to tweak it a bit to make my image work :) That's the beauty of sketch challenges...we can adjust them a wee bit to fit our needs, right?!? *giggle*
I sure hope y'all are able to sit with a great tasting cup of coffee, tea or hot chocolate and create with us 4 Crafty Chicks this week. I cannot wait to see the lovely projects that are made with Melissa's inspirational photo (it really is a nice pic, Mel!) Be sure to hop on over to the other 3 Chicks' blogs for more beautacious inspiration...
