We love that flower! You did a fantastic job with the sketch and how you made your own flower embellishment using your Cricut is simply stunning. Your blog, {It's All Good} is all good too and so worth a visit. Thanks for playing and congrats Tara. Please email me your address and I will get your Starving Artistamps goodies off to you.

Fab 5!


What Caught our Eye...


Dora made THE most cutest mini-album for her Mom, which can be seen on her blog: Dora's Days. We love how stunning this project is yet how quickly it came together for her and of course we love her interpretation of this weeks sketch!

I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday - mine is particulary beautiful as I sit on the banks of the Arkansas River near the picturesque little town of Salida (surrounded by my whole family). Tomorrow Laura brings you the cutest Sketch eva! and of course you are going to LOVE our sponsor, the DT inspiration AND the FINAL week of the Ultimate Card Showdown - heehaaa!
