Happy Friday everyone! Are you ready for a great weekend? It is going to be a very HOT one around here! And Nick has a baseball tournament all weekend. Oh joy! The Sketch Frenzy Friday team is back again with another great sketch! This week's sketch is provided by Angela Walters. Take a look! 

Very simple and lots of possibilities! So I kept my card very simple as well. Here is what I came up with.

I used the Apothecary Accents framelits dies to cut the shape from the First Edition designer paper and Very Vanilla (to give the dsp more support). I added two black brads. Before popping this up onto the card base of Very Vanilla, I added a strip of Basic Black card stock that has both ends flagged. I stamped the image from Artistic Etchings in Basic Black onto Very Vanilla. I cut this out and popped it up onto the card. Then I stamped the sentiment from Sweet Essentials in Basic Black onto the card. And there you have it!!


Be sure to continue through the tour to get more inspiration! Click 'here' to see what Jennifer did with this sketch. I hope you will take some time this next week to create a project using this fabulous sketch and upload it to the Sketch Frenzy Friday blog so that we can all see what you did! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!

Good morning, Friends! Wow! We are already at the middle of the week! It's downhill from here to the weekend! I hope that you are having a super week, so far. It seems to be going good around here but I haven't tried to wake up my son yet - lol! He's been in a good mood these last few days and has been very agreeable and willing to do what he is supposed to do. I hope that keeps up!! He gets out of school early today and has a haircut so I think he should be happy about that.

Today's card was inspired by a sketch from Stamping 411. I haven't played along with their sketches in quite a while. I really liked this sketch! I thought it was unique and offered some fun possibilities! But when I sat down to create, I couldn't figure out what I wanted to do with the the focal point. I immediately reached for my butterflies but, geesh! I feel like I have used those so much. So I went in a different direction. And I think it turned out all right. It uses my favorite colors anyway - lol! Thanks for stopping by and have a super day!
