Here is your sketch for today! Sorry I’m a “tad” late. I had fun with this one. I LOVE circles 😀 If you don’t, feel free to change the shape-no big deal. These sketches are just a starting point to get you inspired to actually STAMP and play with all the purchases we love to make. Sometimes the shopping is more addicting than the stamping. Can’t justify purchases if you don’t use what you buy. I know I love getting HAPPY MAIL!! So the shopping is usually lots of fun for me personally.
Since I was DROOLING over the new Bella stuff yesterday I decided I better play with the NEW un-inked Bella stuff I already owned.
You had to know I about FLIPPED when I saw Butch and Mimi ! I think they look just like my Daisy. Her fur is grown in the the perfect length now, so she looks JUST like she did as a new puppy 😀 WAY CUTE!!!
Anyway I decided they would be perfect for todays card
How cute are they? I so love this card. Its way cute & simple. The focus is on the puppies 😀
The paper for this is by Piggy Tales.
When creating a card I usually pick my image, then my colors or patterned paper. I work from there. Patterned paper is great for color inspiration. I like to lay out my embellishments and everything before its ALL adhered/attached. That way I can change it up before anything is permanent!! I do lots of revision sometimes. I may already have a sketch planned out and then try to see what works for that. Sketched definitely get things free flowing.
Try sketching your ideas. I believe you will find it really helpful to warm you up.
I am one busy girl this weekend. We had to go food shopping, and looking at Pellet Stoves for another heating source. It is also Nascar weekend here in Loudon, so of course we had to take the kids all around to see the different race cars and whatnot.
Fun stuff. Then my class is tomorrow-and after it I get to have lunch with my PSF’s!!
That being said I gotta run. Lots of new releases coming out SOON!!!
NOTE: I didn’t get any photos of Alexa yet. We had and emergency-AND now she is off to her father’s for about a week (I think). He never knows how long he will decide to keep her when vacation hits.
SO like I said We had a mini emergency here yesterday. Daisy scratched Noah while he was rough playing with her on the floor, and we thought she scratched his cornea. Anyway running out the door with 3 kids is a RAGING rain in a thunder & lightning storm in 5 o’clock traffic to the ER, which is 45 minutes away, to make sure his eye was OK . He could keep the cold cloth off it long enough for me to get a close look, and that lead me to further think he had a scratched cornea. ANYWAY thankfully there was only a TINSY scratch and he is fine today. He got some eye drops if it got inflammed, but ended up being fine. He did think that his eye looked super cool when they put in the yellow dye and turned out the lights. I let him see his eye with my compact mirror. Kids crack me up.
Lets just say my life is NEVER boring. EVER!! What will I do for entertainment when they grow up? I am going to be so bored! LOL!
Thanks for reading and enjoy the day.

Oh my gosh, so cute! That DOES look like Daisy! ADORABLE! I love this sketch too! I’m going to have to find time to play!
This sketch is fantastic but not as fantastic as that card!! Adorable!!!! I am so glad that Noah is ok. I was just thinking last night about how boring life will be when my kids are grown. 🙂
Oh man! You are always on the run, how do you even find time to stamp??? I am glad to hear that Noah is ok! Your card is awesome! TFS!
As always I love your stuff!!! One quick question, what do you use for adhesive for your cards and how do you make your flowers stick on things? emily
This is the first sketch challenge I have ever done from your blog. Hope I did ok. Check it out 🙂

Well I’m glad to hear that Noah is okay! Accidents happen eh?! I love those new stamps by Stamping Bella…I can’t….I can’t….I can’t buy them….ok so maybe I can…lol…with summer here and not working at the school, I shouldn’t buy things…but I will 😉
Your card is super duper cute! Hope to get a chance tomorrow to work on the sketch…or maybe later when I’m hiding out in the basement where it’s cool!
have a great weekend girl!
Glad to hear Noah is fine! Don’t worry about what to do when they grow up. Something always keeps happening to make our lives as mothers busy. 😉 Enjoy every minute of their young lives!!
Good news that Noah is fine.
Alexa has become more confident. I hope she has a fun time with her Dad and he remembers to keep disinfecting her ear lobes.
Like your daughters PCA, it is amazing how God blesses us by putting people in our paths whom we need. Sometimes it is meeting someone who shares their experience that helps us make decisions in the future.
Sometimes it is an aquiantance that offers an understanding heart and appreciates the pride we take in the small strides our child makes.
The blessed friends who accept our child and the blessed children who accept our child.
And our special child brings out the best in others and fills their soul with love and compassion.
Life is never boring with kids..you are very CORRECT!
Glad Noah is okay. That is a scary thing. I remember those days. But then they grow up and drive. Now THAT is even scary to me! :O
I love the card. And it does look like your sweet Daisy.
Oh my, could a few more things happen at once??!! Sure glad Noah is ok…whew. Eye injuries are scary…
Your card is adorable! My friend just got that stamp, too…I sent her the link so she could see your card and be inspired! Now I’m going to have to stamp some of her images for ME to use!
Have a wonderful Sunday! Oh, and my son that lives in CT is going to that race on Sunday!!! So cool… 😀

When you used the Woof it Up before or mentioned it – I thought – there is Daisy (sort of) in the front in the corner but thought everyone else would have noticed that so didn’t mention it! Glad his eye is o.k. Poor Daisy probably wondered what did I do now – to see you bundle everyone up and run off like that. Just love your card! Thanks so much for sharing all your creativity!
Yay, I got to play! LOVE this sketch, Lauren! Thanks! http://oodabugalley.blogspot.com/2008/06/with-love.html

As we talked, I asked if she would be upset if he was a Wholesale Nike Shox.
He replied that she no longer knew who he was, that she had notrecognized him in five years now.
I was surprised, and asked him, ‘And you still go every morning,even though she doesn’t know who Cheap Air Shox are?’
He smiled as he patted my hand and said, ‘She doesn’t know me, butI still know who she is.’
I had to hold back tears as he left, I had goose bumps on my arm,and thought, ‘That is the kind of New Gucci Shoes I want in mylife.’
True love is neither physical, norromantic.
True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be, andwill not be.
Finding useful stuff about cars on the web is very difficult, this is because most of the times you just see marketing and promotional stuff and you are not able to get any information but this post will be really helpful I am sure.honda civic 2005 | Honda CR-V For Sale
