Quickly posting a card that I created a couple days ago for the current challenge at Retro Sketches before the link closes for submissions in a few hours.

I finally cracked open my Simon Says Stamp June card kit after I saw one of the design team members cards for this sketch.

Here is this weeks fabulous sketch.

is it coffee yet?

I received a few new stamps in the mail and couldn't wait to ink up this Mini Maude by Art Impressions so when I saw this weeks sketch at Retro Sketches it was the perfect opportunity.

My card is 3.5 x 5 and fits a 4 bar envelope.

I love the grouchy look on her face which made me think she hadn't had enough coffee so I added the coffee stamp also by Art Impressions.

Here is the sketch I used for the inspiration on my card layout.

I played along with this weeks retro sketches challenge.

This was going to be a quick less than 10 minute card, but truth be told it took me like 15 minutes to pick out 3 papers I was happy with.

I used papers by BasicGrey from the Fresh Cuts collection, stamp and ink by Papertrey ink and my favorite embellishment enamel dots.

Here is the sketch.

thinking of you ~ picked flowers

One great thing about Friday is that Tammy at A Day for Daisies has a new release for us and this weeks is just too cute for words.

Here is a look at a couple of the images from this weeks release called "picked flowers".

And here is the card I created using the "picked flowers" image. I love everything about this little lady, especially the flowers in her hair and those boots.

I used papers by My Minds Eye from the sweetest thing collection and the sentiment is by WPlus9.

Hope you will stop over at the ADFD blog and check out all this weeks new images along with what the design team created.

While I was waiting for Cassie and Micah to get here today I created a card using this weeks sketch over at Retro Sketches.

I used a couple of my favorite stamp sets by PTI along with paper by My Minds Eye from the Kate & me collection "Cambridge Court". I added some of my wrinkle ribbon too.

After getting over 16" of snow within a time frame of 5 days spring has finally arrived here in Minnesota and I am loving it. I was so happy to pull out my flip flops finally. This Okie likes to wear flip flops when shoes are required, otherwise it is barefoot for me.

Thought I would play along with Retro Sketches this week as they had a great sketch for us to gather inspiration from.

I decided to use papers from the BasicGrey collection 'kneehighs' and make some hand rolled flowers. The stickers are the ones I have been using a lot lately in my Project Life, they are by Pebbles and the leaf is a Martha Stewart punch.

retro sketches #47

It is freezing here today in Minnesota and I think our current temp is -12 F with a high of 0 forecast. Yesterday we didn't even get out of the negative numbers.

I couldn't sleep this morning and was up before the chickens so caught up on a couple of shows that I watch and created a few cards.

First up is a card I created for this weeks challenge over at Retro Sketches.

I used one of my favorite stamps that I picked up at Michael's for a $1 awhile back along with a sentiment by Technique Tuesday, paper is Neenah solar white linen (my favorite). The little gems are from my stash.

Here is a look at the great sketch for this week.

A quick card to share with you today that I created for this weeks challenge over at retro sketches.

For my card I used papers and stickers from Crate Papers 'fourteen' collection. I think by the time Valentines Day gets here I will be tired of this paper collection. I think I have used it on about 5 cards so far this month.

Here is the sketch that inspired my card.
