Weekend Sketch Challenge

WHAT A DELIGHT!  My husband took the day off work today to run some errands, when my 3 year old asked Daddy where he was going he said to run errands and she asked if she could go with him.  That was at 9am this morning and now it is 7:30pm and they are now on their way home!  Yeah for Mommy! So I spent most the day with my friend Corrina looking at houses and then when I found I had more time I decided to take part in Beate's Weekend Sketch Challenge! 

Every weekend she posts a challenge to her blog, a card layout. 

Here is this weekends challenge. 

I also felt inspired to stamp because I got a BOX FULL-O-STAMPS today, FREE STAMPS! 

As a demonstrator, during Sale-A-Bration we earn free stamp sets based on our sales and recruiting.  I was thrilled to earn NINE sets!  So, I broke out 3 new sets for my card.

Here are MY FREE SETS, had to share the excitement!

Alright enough!  But do watch for my creations using the AWESOME SETS!  I have many bright ideas!

But now for my card for the Weekend Sketch Challenge!!!

For those of you who frequent my blog you may have read my post earlier today, "Crystal Glitter Wash".  I used my new technique her as well!

So the new sets that I used here are the Defining Alphabet, Define Your Life and All Scallops. 

And check out my close up photos, you can see the Crystal Glitter Wash very clearly! 

Here is used it on my Pretties Flower and Real Red Brad.  So pretty!  I love how it looks on the Pretties!

And here I used it to highlight each cherry on the Summer Picnic DSP and then added it to my Red Grosgrain Ribbon.  It's almost a candied card with the shimmery, sparkly, glittery card. 

I hope you enjoy it.  I know I had lots of fun stamping it, using new *free* stamps, and having time ALONE! 

But I have to say I do miss my little bunny girl!  Who would not miss this cute face! 

She was sick on Easter and we were playing with her basket of goodies. 

I am getting a little blog happy here, so Happy Friday Night and Happy Stampin'

STOP IT!! NINE???!!!! You really are an actual rock star!! Um.... Well... I earned ... one. Yes. one. I your lame friend, earned one. So, please, please, please wont' you move next door so I can play with all of YOUR new toys!? I have committed to myself that I will NOT order my new set until the retiring list comes out. I'm pretty sure that every year I order one that immediately retires like the next month. NOT this year! Oh, and I'm not even going to mention the gazillion hours you had to yourself today. What??!! I'm so jealous! Hey! Are you ready for May 6th? Did you talk to your dr? *wink* See you Monday, girlie!
