Card of the Week & Fab 5!

It has been a wonderful week full of surprises from all of you.  I thought it was a relatively simple sketch and you guys took it to new heights with fantastic creations.  One sketch inspired the very ornate from some of you and yet others kept it clean and simple.  After a week of commenting on the gallery I am charged to get super busy with fresh ideas and inspirations from all of you!

Thank you Sassy Studio Designs for you fabulous sponsorship - your images are so fun to work with and the lucky of winner of our Card of the Week will get some of their own sassy designs too!  Congratulations to

Card of the Week

Nerina

You have to visit Nerina's blog, You are Here...X, to see all the fabulous details on this card up close!  She was inspired by artwork from the Moxie Fab World trigger.  Oh my goodness this reminds me of a  boho quilt or 70's print dress.  I love how bright and fun it is and how you can present this card for virtually any occasion!  

Congrats Nerina - email me your deets so I can get your goodies off to you!

Good day to you super 2S4Y fans! For many this is a long weekend as some have the day off after the 4th.  Since my husband is home I will try and get in as much as possible including; family time and then a little time to myself spent right here with you getting crafty!  If you have the day off I would love you to join me this week as we enjoy the gallery created by your interpretations of the sketch.

Our design team certainly got creative in a Sassy Studio kinda way when they designed cards using two fabulous Sassy Studio images: Mermaid Mandy and Hang Ten Hanna...

This purse gift card holder is so darling and such a clever interpretation of the sketch.  I love how perfectly well made it is. The stitching is fabulous and that flower is a stunner.  Genevieve and Catherine both post to a blog called Card a la Carte and it is fabulous.   I highly suggest you add it to your blog roll because every project from card to altered is gorgeously made and will get your creative juices flowing!

Happy Father's Day

A Dad is a person

who is loving and kind,

And often he knows

what you have on your mind.

He's someone who listens,

suggests, and defends.

A dad can be one

of your very best friends!

He's proud of your triumphs,

but when things go wrong,

A dad can be patient

and helpful and strong

In all that you do,

a dad's love plays a part.

There's always a place for him

deep in your heart.

And each year that passes,

you're even more glad,

More grateful and proud

just to call him your dad!

Thank you, Dad...

for listening and caring,

for giving and sharing,

but, especially, for just being you!

Happy Father's Day

Today we spoil and appreciate our father's, with hugs and kisses, bbq's, a few holes of golf, a day at the park. Whatever your day brings I hope you all have a fabulous Father's Day! We had an awesome week, the gallery was just overflowing with outstanding creativity. Thank you to everyone who played along and thank you to our great sponsor My Favorite Things!
