Continuing on with sketches from last year, this one from Chupa's Sketchbook Saturdays. I love simple sketches as you can dress them up or dress them down as much as you want.The starting point of my card was this wonderful K & Company paper I got at Michael's, and the rest just flowed from there. Another crimped heart in lieu of the "U" die LOL!
My daughter feels pretty good about her piano exam on Friday, which is a huge tribute to her nerves as they were 50 minutes behind schedule!! We sat and sat and sat some more and her exam was scheduled for 10:15. Hate to think what later exam times would have to wait! We treated ourselves to some shopping at Old Navy and had a great afternoon together :) Now we just have to await her score and she jumps right into Grade 4 as she will be taking that exam in June (she is doing two grades in one year this year).
Wishing you a fabulous day and thanks for sharing a bit of yours with me :)
What's In It?
Paper: K & Company, Rose Red, Pretty in Pink
Accessories:Lacy Circle Nesties, MS Doily Punch, Marvy Heart Punch, Crimper, 5/8" Pink Sheer Ribbon, Pink Half Pearls, Button, Twine, Glue Dot, Dimensionals

ReplyDeleteMarisa, this card is so beautiful! I don't have a crimper, but am gonna have to save up to get one! It really makes the card {besides that gorgeous dp!}.
ReplyDeleteI'm just going to deem this card "Pretty in Pink!" it's so soft and pretty, I love the little subtle decorations like the pearls around the scallops and button on the heart ( talk about enabling! I dom't have any heart dies but you always make me want them!) Gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteSweet, sweet, sweet Valentine. I think I have that paper. Love the pretty half pearls..such a beautiful addition.
ReplyDeleteSounds as if the exam really went well and a fun day was enjoyed by the two of you. That's great!!!
Beautiful papers, colors, die cut and punching, Marisa! I love the button on the crimped heart too.
