Happy Friday!!!

Welcome to Get Sketchy #7! Our sponsor is the most fabbie My Favorite Things.

I picked the very fun set by Stephanie Fizer called I {heart} books. I've been on such a paper piecing kick lately and decided to keep it going :) I teamed the images with the fabbie paper by Carolyn Gavin and October Afternoon.

I'm sooo fortunate to have 2 kidlets that absolutely love to read, especially my girl.

I can't wait to see how you are inspired by Dora's sketch!

Please check the Get Sketchy site for the MFT prize...you knew there was going to be a prize, right??!!! PLUS the fabbie BREE is giving away additional prizes for those of you that join in on the fun...you don't want to miss out on these goodies!!!

TGIF

...seriously....

P.S.

I just cracked open my October 2009 Cards Magazine...I tell you ladies, I was gasping at each page...there are sooo many of you fabbie girlies in there...a humungous woot woot to you all!!!!
