Skipping Stones Design

I am so excited to bring you sketch #33…

The Amazing Kim Kesti has done it again..

I am identifying with “coffee lady” at the moment.  I know my kids will be up in a few hours telling me I look like “that tired coffee lady stamp” and laughing their happy well rested heads off ;0)

I am loving Kim’s Bright cheerful colors!  This sketch and card have my fingers just itching to grab this stamp set and go to town with this sketch!!!

I was So bummed that I didn’t have a moments time to play with this sketch during the last 7 days.  It was just one of those week.  I  drove over 800 miles, visited with out of town family.  Then today I woke up with a migraine that kept me in bed.  I am still struggling to see and think straight. So please forgive me if this post is shorter than usually ;0)

 Apparently I was not the only one who’s crafting was sidetracked by life’s little curve balls. My design team this week is struggling with lack of interested service, sick children(4 and 2 legged), and other unexpected occurrences. However those who had smooth sailing this week came up with some pretty inspirational cards. 

We are going to start of the inspiration with Heidi Van Lar’s Card.  She is an  AMAZING guest designer who is sharing her inspiration with us this month. You can always find TONS-O-INSPIRATION on her blog Van Laar designs.  Just take a look at this card she made combining sketch 34 and “Dandelion Dreams”:

Now who wouldn’t Love that card?? You can’t help but smile, can you?

 Dina Kowal is back with more inspiration this week.  The card she made is even sweeter on the inside than the outside believe it or not.  She used “Buns and Crunches” for her  Daaaahhling creation:
 

The inside of the card reads: “Is the person holding it” Who wouldn’t love to get a card that said that?

Here are the amazing and resilient Stamp tramps with this week’s contributions:

Amanda Sewell: Used Fangs or Fur for her sparkly “Edward Card”

Peggy Russell Used “Buns and Crunches” for her yummy and funny card:

Jingle used Tropical Birthday for her Festive and Funy card:

Michelle Guraud made two fantastic cards this week.

Fist she used “well Behaved” for her fashoniable creation:

Next she used “Friendly Fruit” ~for sale later this month~

Thank You to all of you who are participating in the sketch challenges!!!

 Later this week I will announce our next winner! 

Hope you have a great week with lots of time to spend with the people you love, and doing the things you love!
