Yesterday was absolutely glorious...it was in the low 60's...I tell you, living in the Pacific Northwest, we truly enjoy our sunny days:) I had a lovely lunch at the Boat Street Cafe in Seattle with a fab group of gals...thanks girls!!!
I'm on a huge thank you mode...all the paper is Stampin' Up...the sentiment is from co-branding efforts of EAD Designs and Paper Smooches...it is from the Thank you Sentiments stickerz set!
I was so very inspired by the latest Waltzing Mouse sketch:
Purples aren't my normal color palette that I tend to work with....that's what the color challenges are for...to get you to work outside your comfort zone. Check out the CR84FN Color Challenge:
Do you see the embossed polka dots on the lavender panel? Well, thanks to debbie standard's challenge over at Yvonne Yam's blog, I did something different with the panel....
For the first time, I used the sanding block that I've had for a couple years...I sanded the embossed polkas:) It definitely isn't as visible because I used Stampin' Up cardstock instead of Core’dination’s goodness, but you can tell a smidge:) It's a technique that I hadn't used before, so that's pretty coolio....I'll be on the search for some Core'dination's:)
I'm the hostess over at EAD Designs today...would love it if you'd pop over there to see my project:)

My little girl turns 16 today....time flies....quickly.
My greatest and happiest job is being a Momma...I love my kidlets more than they could ever know...
