T.G.I.A.F!!! Thank God it's ALMOST Friday!!!! I am on the mend from this cold, but it has thrown me completely out of whack. I hate it when that happens.
Thank you to everyone for they're get well wishes. I really appreciated all of the cyber love. 
And thank you to all of you for your AMAZING entries for last weeks sketch. I don't know if it was because I was sick, but I had the darndst time picking this weeks winner. Not only were there a lot of entries, but there were ALL rockin!!! But alas there was one that I kept coming back too.
Ladies give it up for.....
CAROLYN
And I know you will all agree with me - this baby is a W*O*W*!! There are so many elements to draw you in. PINK (my favorite color) of course!! Her amazing coloring and attention to detail. Then she wraps it all up with some bling and goregous ribbon and you have a winner!!
You can see more from Carolyn on her blog, P.M.S., etc. (Pens, Markers, Stamps) Clever girl! I L*O*V*E* this name!!!!
Carolyn!!!!
Number 76 is ready and waiting for you all. I kept it simple!!!
Here's my sample.....
Isn't she precious? Fairy Girl is the latest Pure Innocence image hittin' my ink pads. I was actually starting to come down with my cold when I made this card, hence my liberal take on the sketch by using the ribbon to separate the two sides. The idea behind my sketch was to use 2 different patterns. But this works too, right?! 
I just couldn't resist using this yummy ribbon. I've been hoarding it for awhile now. In case you are interested I got it HERE. Paper is from My Mind's Eye Quite Contrary. And don't forget a little flower flock on the grass!
As always I'll choose the most clever, creative, and cute creation from the submissions this week to be the next Sketch Artist. Your design will also be featured on my blog next week!
You have until next Wed. 3/31 to play along. When uploading to SCS and PCP or or your blog please use keyword ESS76 for the challenge.
Thanks for stopping by today!!
Oh, I agree, Carolyn's card is a beauty!
And you card is soooo sweet and cute! I love these lil images! and that ribbon is perfect! I hope to play along with this one since I missed the last...
Happy almost Friday!
Hope you're feeling much better now :)
hugs, margie
