{ Sketch challenges }

I haven't accomplished much this week, but I did make these cards the other night. Hero Arts had a sketch challenge all week long on their blog. I wanted to play with my new Ranger crackle paint that arrived from my sweet friend Ember (see the pink stars below). She sent me some grungeboard, too, can't wait to play with it. I love these scalloped notecards and I have decided to get the Nestabilities, finally. I haven't ordered them, yet. I know I want the circles for sure and maybe another set to start with. Any suggestions? What sets do you have that you love? I was going to get a Big Shot or Cuttlebug, but I found out that I can use them with my old Sizzix press machine (see this video). I will try that first and if it works I will save money and buy more nestabilities. What do you think?

This boy has been keeping me busy. Daddy is out of town so it's just the two of us. He is really close to crawling, but it's amazing how fast he can get into everything. He loves my scrapbook magazines, they are everywhere. He finds those little pieces of scrap (trash) paper on the floor and wants to eat it. The time in my scrapbook room is very limited with him getting into everything. Today he found a little Prima flower. It was way out of his reach, but he got it, eventually. It would help if I cleaned my room. Did you apply for the guest DT call? Let me know if you have any questions.

  10. Daniela, your work is always so lovely to see when I come visit! Sometimes I just want to reach in and take your cards in my hands and really study them; I truly wanted to do this with the "Life is Sweet" one....man, that is out of this world! I wish I could do ribbon like you!

    Alex, is so special, Daniela....I love your updates on what he is doing. AH, yes, the "everything must go in my mouth" time can be one of the best times of discovery but I know it can be frustrating. We are experiencing that right now with our youngest Grandgirl, Paige...she is 11 months.
