ARTISTIC ETCHINGS - STAMPIN' CONNECTION SKETCH CHALLENGE

Hey all!! I hope everyone had a wonderful Fourth of July!! We enjoyed a nice day of bbq and fireworks - pretty low key but nice.  And, I had a little time to stamp, which is always great!  Today is the Sketch Challlenge over at Stampin' Connection and it was my turn to create the sketch!! I hope if you are a demonstrator you will go and check it out and play along!  Just make sure you upload to the gallery using SCCSC24 in your tag so that it goes to the right folder :-)  So, I am sharing my sample here today using the new stamp set called Artistic Etchings.  I love the vintage feel of this stamp set and it pairs so well with our new designer paper called Newsprint.  I also used the new embossing folder called Vintage Wallpaper and just love it! Topped with some pretty black satin ribbon and Very Vanilla hodgepodge hardware, it came together nicely!!! I hope to see some great cards with this sketch - and for those of you who are not demos but would like to play along with the sketch, here it is for you to do so!

If you do play along, make sure to let me know and give me the link so that I can come and check it out - I would love to see what you do with it!!! Today I am off to Roseville with my kids to do some shopping - not sure why we need to go shopping, but they really want to so why not, right?? LOL - spending money is something I definitely have a talent for *wink* And, I have some time this afternoon reserved to go blurfing and check out what you all have been doing - I just love to see all the beautiful creations out there! Enjoy your day and thanks so much for stopping by, I love each and every comment!!!
