WSC97: u ROCK!
September 11th, 2009
Weekend Sketch time…this darling little set called The Poppies from MFT came out last summer, just about the time that my DD started guitar lessons. I’m so grateful I didn’t have to say ‘drum lessons’… LOL! (Even though the drummer in this set is just adorable!)
Just For Fun: For Carter
June 29th, 2009
If you like mystery and suspense, then the card I’m posting this morning is just for you. Actually, it’s Just For Fun. Every month, my JiFFy girlfriends rotate responsibility for picking the paper and the main image stamp (set) that we’ll all use on one card and post. You never know what’s going to show up in your mailbox, hence the intrigue. You can see inspiration for how 5 other crazy gals all use the same card and stamps to come up with totally different looks with this set and paper by visiting the JiFFy girls: Alli Miles, Carole Burrage, Julie Campbell, cutie Kim Hughes and Michele Boyer. (Alli may be a little late with her post. She’s had some move related issues over the last few weeks, but even if there’s not a Carter card up top, you’ll love the inspiration you find on her blog - she amazes me.)
This month, sweet Kim Hughes picked Slate paper from the Crate Little Sprout collection. Isn’t this fun for a little boy card?
Then, unbeknownst to Kim, Carole picked Cuddle Up Carter from My Favorite Things to work with. Isn’t that a perfect match? For those of you who aren’t aware, the Cuddle Up Carter set (released in March) is a special set for several reasons. First, Carter in the set is actually an image of Carole’s sweet, bright and funny little boy Carter. Carter, the delight of his family, has Cerebral Palsy. You can read a beautiful blog entry from Carole that discusses Carter and his diagnosis here. It’s informative and encouraging. Second, Kim Van der Sandin, the MFT lady, is graciously donating $2 from the sale of each Cuddle Up Carter set to a wonderful organization called Europeds thru September, 2009. I know this is an organization close to Carole’s heart, and I was so glad when she selected this image for us to work with this month.
