Oh it does feel like a Monday today. I thought of a million reasons not to get out of bed this morning. And only 1 to actually get up. I have a job. A good one too. I have so many clients that are downsizing right now or even worse shutting their doors completely. It's definately a difficult time right now and everyone is feeling it.
I feel VERY grateful to have my job. It was only this time last year that my DH lost his job. So if anyone is going through a tough time right now you are in my thoughts and this is for you .
So on to a happier topic. The Martha Stewart of stamping, Amy R. hosts weekly sketch challenges on her blog. If you're a sketch addict like me, Amy hosts them every Friday. Be sure to pop on over and check them out. Amy's latest adventure has included designing her own stamps. Is that not just a dream come true or what? Her newest set releases tonight at 10:00 EST. Be sure to hop on over to the All That Scraps blog to check out the sneak peeks.
Here is this week's sketch.......
Today's card makes me smile from ear to ear. I just love this stamp. The image actually reminds me of a picutre my mom has of me as a little one holding one of our cats. The stamp and sentiment are from Stamping Bella. Not sure if you can see it but I also put some twinkle dot stickers at the center of the flowers in her hair to compliment the crystal brad.
Card deets: Images by Stamping Bella, PP by Imaginisce, cardsock by SU!, ink by Versafine, copics, twinkle stickers by A Muse, felt flowers by SU!, brad from stash and nesties.

Lovely card!! Colors are fabulous!! Girl, you really are great at this..she's soooo cute!! Loving the bling you put in her hair!! Wish I can do that to my daughter's hair but she hates any pretty stuff in ther hair..don't know why..she takes them off right after I put 'em..oh well, i'll have to keep trying until she gets used to it :o)
