bloom and grow

Happy Saturday!

Today is the new Card Patterns sketch and sponsor!

We have the wonderful Catherine Pooler as our Sponsor for this week:

Here is our new sketch for this week:

Here's my take on the sketch:

recipe

All the paper is Stampin' Up, Crumb Cake, Wild Wasabi, Baja Breeze and Riding Hood Red. I did some dry embossing for added texture. The button is Stampin' up too. The bloom uses a super old sizzix die that I picked up at a garage sale:) The alpha is from my Sassafras stock...I topped off the card with loads of stitching.

I look forward to see how the sketch inspires YOU!

We're all happy campers in the Pacific Northwest because of the weather we've been experiencing. Yesterday we were in the mid-upper 60's which is absolutely perfect {for me!}...Darin and I had dinner at Salty's...today is suppose to be in the mid-upper 70's!

What are your Saturday plans? We're doing some home projects {translation=darin has a honey-do list while I get some DT crafting done..LOL} and we'll definitely get outside to enjoy the summery weather!

fun card. I worked at the LSS today which is always crazy busy yet fun. Met Christine Middlecamp today as she stopped in the store along with her son.
Our weather is Minnesota perfect. Upper 70's and no humidity ~ well almost no humidity.

Love your card, Amy! How fab is the flower! I had a nice lunch with my son and dil(in town for the day) and daughter. Then I spent the afternoon (with my headache) watching baseball. I wash my brayer with a little soap and water and let it dry. The folder you can just wipe off with a wet cloth.
