Hello Friend...

I recently won an AMAZING prize box full of travel-themed crafty goodies from my blog friend, Glenda! The "Get Outta Town" stamp set from Paper Smooches was included in the stash, and I just HAD to ink it up right away!!!

I combined the color combo from the current SPARKS Challenge with the sketch from Retro Sketches 48... 

 

and here's what I came up with:

I can see this becoming a "go-to" layout for me! I'm really digging it!

Hope you're having a FABULOUS weekend! I'm tackling several cleaning/organizational projects that have been on my to-do list for far too long. Planning to sneak in some inky time later on tonight though *wink*!!!

Hi there! I LOVE this sketch from the most recent Retro Sketches Challenge:

...and the challenge ends TONIGHT, so I'm sneaking in a second post for today to share my creation.

My friend's bridal shower is at the end of this month. I found some GORGEOUS wrapping paper for her gift. It's black with giant cream flower outlines all over it. And of course I couldn't pass up the coordinating black and cream polka dot tissue paper! HA! So, this card was also inspired by those colors/designs. (I'll be sure to share a photo of the packaging once I wrap it all up.)

Thanks for stopping by!
