I don't know if most of you know this or not, but I also work full-time. Some weeks are more of a jungling act than anything. I just got home yesterday, from an extra long weekend with a girlfriend. It's a bit rough getting everything back in order. I did make my card and photograph it for this weeks sketch challenge over @ Stampin' Queens Sketch Challenge. But, I forgot to post it here. Talk about scatter brain. So, I apologize for the lateness of this post.
The sketch this week is beautiful. I didn't have much artistic license to change it up. So, it pretty much follows the sketch. Not that, that is a bad thing. Just a side note.
Here is this weeks sketch:
As for me, tags have been a general focus lately. But, I did struggle with it a bit. My mojo was not there. I couldn't come up with anything that worked, and then kinda did this. So, don't let my lack of creativity stop you. Please join us!
Here is my card:
I have to admit, I'm a big fan of this new DSP: Attic Boutique. And this new stamp set: Rue Des Fleurs. Actually, I love this new stamp set sooo much that I have it in English (wood-mount) and French (clear-mount). And yes, both sets have been inked. Isn't that just crazy? Stampin' Up! does sell a 'yellow' taffeta ribbon, but I didn't have any left, so I dyed some white taffeta ribbon with my So Saffron re-inker. The sketch has a row of buttons across it, and I know how shocking it is not to see a row of buttons across my card. Just one lonely button brad. I had to use some of my other all-time favorite DSP: First Edition. The butterflies were made with a butterfly embosslit: Beautiful Wings. I'm a super big fan of that little guy, too. (I'm on my second one, the first one wore out-if there is such a thing.) I used pool party for the card base to pull all the blue together.
Well, thanks for stopping by. I hope this new year is starting quite wonderfully for all of you. It has been going quite nicely for me.
And don't forget to play along with us @ Stampin' Queens Sketch Challenge.

Hi Sharon! You know, I was not really into that paper and stamp set until I saw this! Absolutely gorgeous with a shabby-chic feel to it! I know what you mean about work getting in the way of stamping time. I have been struggling to find balance for a few months now. Hope you are having a great week so far! Hugs! :)
