Well this is going to be a LONG post so much to say.
First off here is the Sketch this week from Get Sketchy:
The bonus challenge is to use something a year old (or more). Anyone who know CTMH knows how old this paper is! A few years old. I am down to scraps but I still love it.
I was lucky to have this fun little Unity stamp set, Hey Chick to play with.
Here is the sketch for Sweet Sunday this week:
I chose to use a Sassy Studio Designs image. I LOVE these images, Lindsay is so talented. I love that they can be sized to whatever size you want. I can't wait to see what new things Lindsay has for us! Pop on over to the Sassy Studio blog for some more inspiration!
I just had to get this image when I saw it. Jason and I started dating when he asked me out at the stroke of midnight 24 years ago. On the inside of the card I wrote.... it all began - only we both had big hair, mine was blonde and yours wasn't gray! Too funny! This is also for the Frosted Designs challenge - New Years and the Pile it On Challenge - Digital.
I colored my image with copics and mounted them on foam squares. The paper is SEI Moravia that I got in my Scrap Shotz kit.
Both the image above and the stamp set for the first card are new to me so these fit the Stamp Something Challenge - to use something new.
Now if you happened on here by chance and are looking for the Friends with Flair I am taking part in that too! Lots of fun Unity stuff is posted today, be sure to start at Angela's blog for the list of participants.
Very beautiful, and love the stamp you received!
