I {Heart} U

Evening.  Quick post tonight as its been a long day.  I wanted to share the most recent LO I made however for the MSW Sketch-A-Thon.

I started with a grid piece of patterned paper.  Have I ever told you how much I love grid paper?  I used watermark ink through a stencil and embossed the squares around the edges.  Next came a generous spraying of mist, inking through a stencil, and splatters.  I layered up all my patterned papers, bits and bobs, and declared it good.

I had to use this picture and even though its not the best one, it does show the best heart hands they made together.  You can also see how I embossed the sticker letters and added glitter to the birds.

I plan on linking this up to the Paper Issues challenge this month.  It'll be my first time playing along there.

I'm having such a great time cranking out pages and cards.  If you need something to do, you should join in.  Night.

Look What I did in an Hour....

The MSW monthly 1 hour crop was this past Sunday. It's such a rush to try and get a full page or 6 cards done in an hour!! This time around it was a LO challenge. The sketch of Lucy's was tremendous to work with and I actually finished and uploaded before the full hour was up!! That was a record for me.

Here is the LO I created:



This LO has such special meaning to me. The picture is of some flowers I received from Lucy, the owner of MSW, during this past month.

With the tag out:



The back of the tag is where I placed my journaling. This is what it reads:

I received these flowers from my friend and fearless leader Lucy at MSW (My Sketch World). They were to represent the cyber friends praying and loving me from afar in the midst of some serious health struggles. Life with lupus is not ever easy, but seeing these petals reminds me I have an army to lean and I will not fall!

Thanks to all my MSW girlies out there and my Let's Scrap peeps too!! Love ya' all and can't ever tell you how much your prayers and love mean.

The patterned papers I used are from DreamStreet, the tag is from Elle's Studio, and the FAITH card is from Jenni Bowlin. All of these items can be found in the A Walk Down Memory Lane store. Just click on the name to get there.

And how about a card to end the evening with. This is another creation using some goodies from the A Walk Down Memory Lane store.

This card was created using the MSW January 15th card sketch. I turned it a bit to suit what I had in mind. Aren't those birdies cute??! I just had to put this DreamStreet paper in my cart while shopping at AWDML.

Close Up



I used a Martha Stewart punch to create the squares, the letters are Basic Grey, Fiskars border punch for the top, and Queen Ann & Co pearls.
