Sayanora SFYTT

Well it's a sad day in the blogosphere today, we've come to the end of the SFYTT journey. Jen has decided to discontinue the sketch challenges and I'm so sad about it, but completely support and understand her decision! She's kept up these amazing sketches for a few years now and I know it's going to leave a hole in my little heart:) 

Our final sponsor of the year is none other than our home sweet home, Splitcoast Stampers!!

They're offering up a one year membership to the lucky winner this month!

Here's our final sketch:

And my sample using a new set from Verve!

I used some paper strips from Crate Papers new line, and the stamp set from Verve is called "Joyous Noel"

Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

Viva la Verve! January Week 3-Be My Valentine

Hey there! Quickie post from me tonite, it's FRIDAY night which is movie and wine night for me and Billy:)We're gonna watch Avatar, the Next Air Bender! Oh, and we're drinking Mondavi Merlot;) YUMM!

Okay, Tosh is our fabulous hostess this week in the Verve forums and has come up with this fantastic sketch for this week!

Lots of room for interpretation but I kept mine pretty close to the sketch!

I used the fun Jotted Heart "A Cut Above" die and the sentiment and frame stamp are from Love Notes!

I hope you can come play with us in the Verve Forums! We always have fun:) Remember, Verve stamps are NOT required! Play with whatever your heart desires:)

SFYTT-You Make Good Times Great!

How about a fun sketch to get your weekend going? This week's SFYTT has TONS of potential! I had a couple ideas in mind for this one, so I'll have to make another card tomorrow!

For my card today, I broke one of the NEW and FABULOUS Verve sets, Great Friend! Verve recently released 8 new sets, you can see them all HERE! Buy the bundle and save some money:)

Okay, I really wanted to use this stamp set today and this was the only way I could make it work. Instead of cutting a bunch of circles like the sketch calls for, I just stamped a bunch of flowers randomly where the circles SHOULD be:) Don't you LOVE this stamp set? I really love stamping the solid images and then stamping the outline images over it, it looks like it could a patterned paper! The colors I used are Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss, and Chocolate. The beautiful lace is from the 100 Yen store, I love that I can get 3 feet of this gorgeous lace for only 100 Yen (1 dollar!)

I have a cute story about this card. I couldn't decide if I wanted that Baja Breeze mat so I took the card in to Billy and asked him which way he preferred. Just the chocolate mat or add the Baja mat? He looked at it and concentrated real hard, says "Is this just a card for a friend? No special occasion?" I say "Yep!" and he tells me "I think you should add the Baja mat. If it was for a formal occasion I would suggest just the chocolate and white but since it's not formal, you should add the Baja!" Hahaha, how cute is that? I love that guy, he has a great eye for card fashion, lol!

Are you ready to see more SFYTT eye-candy? Cruise through the blogs of my SFYTT team-mates and enjoy the beauty!

SFYTT-Sponsored by The Greeting Farm!

Hello! Sorry I've been MIA all week, super busy week at work and NO energy *after* work! Hopefully you had a chance to put your new Verve order in! Can you STAND all the cute sets Julee comes up with? 

Today is SFYTT Saturday! Our sketch is being sponsored by The Greeting Farm and this weeks sketch is SUPER FABULOUS!

Right? This was SUCH a fun card to make!

This is also my *very* late Farm Fresh Friday card! The Farm Fresh challenge was a COLOR challenge, Hawaiian Shores, Tangerine Tango, and Kiwi Kiss (or any variation of these colors).

Irvin is lookin' pretty cute, doncha think? I colored him with Copics on Neenah white cardstock. The dp is Green Boutique by PTI and the orange is Tangerine Tango by SU!

The sentiments are from new sets by Verve, Birthday Bash and Happy Hello.

Okay, so you have some blog hoppin' to do! See the rest of the SFYTT Sistahs:
