YNS Sketch Challenge - Autumn Birthday Wishes

Hi again friends!

I don't seem to have as much crafting time since I started working outside the home again, but I can't miss playing along with the Your Next Stamp sketch challenge!!  It gives me a chance to play with some of the sets I picked up from the last release... Autumn Animals and Peek a BOO.

I sponged my main panel through a stencil that I had picked up at Tuesday Morning a while back, then I attached my images (colored with Spectrum Noir markers) over the top.  The little raccoon actually was holding an apple, but I cut it away so I could make him look like he was hugging the basket of pumpkins instead.  I used the wonderful Fall paper pack from YNS as my background panel.

Thanks for dropping by!  I hope you'll play along with the challenge!!

YNS Sketch Challenge - Autumn Wishes

Hello friends!

I'm dropping by really quickly today with a card I made for the Your Next Stamp Sketch & Color Challenge!  I think the sweet image is retired, but you can still find the sentiment in Waddles - Fall Fun.

Thanks so much for stopping by and let me know if you have any questions!

You're the Bestest!

Hi everyone!

It seems like I've been gone forever and ever!  I took an unscheduled blogging break to look for a job - which was quite a feat after being out of the job market for over 25 years!  I'll start my second week on the job tomorrow, so this week is my "figuring out my new normal" week.  When will I clean the house?  When will I stamp and blog? What laundry needs to be done when?  So bear with me while I get readjusted, ok?? :)

The card I am sharing today is for this week's Clean and Simple challenge on Splitcoaststampers.  It's called Alphabet Soup and we would like you to use an acronym on your card... like LOL, SOS, or, in my case... I {heart} U.  Okay, okay, so I stretched it a little! ;)

I had a lot of fun with this card.  I cut the letters and the heart out of white card stock and then again, out of black and red card stock.  I attached the die cuts above the open spaces and then I cut out my panel with a Stitched Rectangle die from Your Next Stamp.  The sentiment is from a retired YNS set called Bunny in the River.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

I hope you have a splendid week!
