One More Sketch Challenge

What would the weekend be without doing Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge? Choosing stamps and paper was easy - my favorite Treasure Life, a new favorite color, and the new CTMH paper, "Perfect Day," that I was itching to cut into. I so love that CTMH's patterned paper are now truly double-sided with awesome patterns on both sides. As for Treasure Life, I've posted 15 cards using this set, a record, I believe.

Materials & Tools: Colonial White and Chocolate cardstock; Perfect Day paper packet; Juniper and Chocolate ink pads; Treasure Life September SOTM stamp set; Fiskars Sunburst border punch; Sponge dauber.

I am whipped. My house looks like it was hit by a cyclone. The little people got the best of me . . . It's really too bad that the weather was so crappy, because they certainly would have benefited in having the opportunity to run off some energy. Me, too. They've gone home with their Daddy, and you know what the worst of it is? By tomorrow night, I'll miss them. With that admission, I really need to sign off and go clean up the rubble. LOL. Then, I'm going to take a long, hot bath and jump into my jammies and then into my big, soft bed. While I've yet to think about what the new week will bring, I hope it's a good one for me and you. Take care, and thanks for stopping by my little corner!

I love your cards.. and I love the border!! My mom has my kids next week and she is trying to rest up now because she knows she will be worn out. lol

This card is beautiful, too! You've been busy even though the boys were there. I really like that border punch. But, I'll have to resist for awhile...LOL

When you are done with your house can you come by and clean up mine? It probably looks worse than yours since I've been focus on moving my craft stuff.

I hope you have a great week!
