The card I'm posting this evening was created especially for a super duper sketch challenge at the Skipping Stones Design Blog to celebrate the release of their new set "Uplifting!" One of these new sets is up for grabs and I hope to be that LUCKY stamper who wins it! You know, there is power in positive thinking! ;)
The terrific sketch I've used is another by the one and only Laurie Schmidlin. Check it out! And join in the FUN!
The base of my 4-1/4 x 5-1/2" card is certainly celery. I've layered on a Basic Grey floral designer paper and topped it all with a stamped SMILE colored with copic markers. (stamp by Bugawamps 2002)
I've finished off my card with some zig zag stitching, buttons and more of the brown and white bakers twine. Hope you like it! :)
Thanks for hopping by...please come back again soon!
Quote for Today ~
I enjoy mowing the lawn, it relaxes me.
It gets me outdoors, it's good exercise,
the freshly cut grass smells great,
and the engine is loud enough
that I'm sure no one else
can hear my thoughts...
or intrude upon them.

I love it! Definitely need something to make us smile with this weather we are getting
Another winner, Pam! We are currently getting SNOW here but I have mowed my lawn once this year (last week) I actually love to mow and your quote for the day is great! When my kids were little, they would sit on my lap while we mowed (I know that isn't safe now, but turned out okay)
Have a great weekend!
What a darling take on the sketch! Love the stitching and the cute little 'smile' tag. Good luck on the stamp set...Thanks for playing along with the Stamp Tramps at Skipping Stones Design.
Love the colors! My fav. I think I need this, it's so darn cute!!! I love the dotted paper and the cute buttons. I don't have a lawn to mow, the HOA does that...thank goodness!
