Welcome to 365 Cards Super Sketchy Sunday!!!!
Well, last week's sketch was a bit tricky...this week's:
This week's sketch is...oy.I looked at it and looked at it....and decided to just take the leap and well, get sewing:
Yup, each of the strips of brocade Graphic 45 is stitched down to the red panel....I added the ZVA flourish to add a smidge of 'bling' to the 'lonely' side of the card...you know you are getting old when you can't really read what's on a die cut...good grief, the text size on the "housewife" piece is soooooo tiny...something about 'Our new doily...stamping outfit'....help...what does that translate to? LOL...I'm actually going to be sending this to a friend of mine...she has made the decision to make a career change...so at the end of the year she'll be leaving her job....she'll take a couple months off and then do 'something new'....pretty exciting if you ask me...I'm happy for her...we have been cracking up about her becoming a housewife...if you knew this girl, you'd know that she's always been career driven. It will definitely be a huge change of pace for her. I know that everything will fall into place for her......shouldn't we all be doing something that we love?
I'm going to share a RAK that I received from the very lovely Elaine. We met through a ribbon share that she had on her blog...probably about the same time I started blogging...I feel like I've known Elaine for-ever. This gal CRACKS me UP!!!! I met up with her during lunch on Friday and we were laughing the entire time {we were ninja shopping..LOL}.
Anyways, here's the most fabbie card she hand delivered to me:
Isn't it absolutely fantabulous??!!! Check out all those magnificent flowers and all the details...pssstt....the girl can shop..LOL. We've been actually talking about something to do to gather some ♥♥Pacific Northwesteners♥♥....a shoe box card swap? a mini garage sale {somebody's old is your new!}....whaddya think ladies??? What a great way to get together and have FUN! Leave me a comment and let's start chatting about it...I was thinking of something AFTER the holiday's...in January.
*****please look for a separate post today for blog candy winner deets & the week's new candy****

That and also cos I'm kinda super busy lately.... :)
Muacks, sista!
OK, I live in Eastern Oregon.. I 'might' be up for a get-together, and just so happen to have lots of stuff I would love to trade, or sell or whateva! Also have tons of projects that could use some 'time' on:) Just depends on dates, etc. My mom lives in Seattle - if that helps (location, location, location)...

I am totally down for whatever. A shoebox swap sounds like fun.
Your friend will love her beautiful "housewife" card! Gosh, amazing job on that sketch!!! ♥♥ Kay
Love your take on it.
I hope to find time to stamp tonight!

How about Pacific Coast then I can play in the swap. LOL CA is still attached to the mainland...right? And we have not been sold to China or North Korea to pay off the state debt! giggle
I would love to be a part of PNW get together! It all depends on whether I can get away or not.
