Welcome to the Skipping Stones Design Blog Hop to celebrate the release of Uplifting

If you've just happened upon my blog today, make sure to start from the beginning at Skipping Stones Design. You should have arrived here from Mona's blog.

Combined with the blog hop today, it's also Skipping Stones Sketch Tuesday which means we're showcasing another great creation from our Guest Sketch Artist this month, Laurie Schmidlin. We'd love for you to play along with the sketch and link your card at the Skipping Stones Blog. A free stamp set is up for grabs to a lucky winner that joins our sketch challenge!

Here's my card for today:



I used October Afternoon paper...paper pieced the fun hot air balloon and the sweet little butterflies from the Uplifting set.


It's been awhile since I've used my pom supply...

Here is this week's sketch by Laurie:


Looking forward to seeing your take on the fab sketch!

Now, hop on over to Ann's blog, Stamp with Me.
