Hey there! Finally back with the new sketch ~ although I'm sure some of you have sniffed it out by now - LOL! Between chores and herding children, it's been a long day... I am ready for a cuppa and a cranberry orange scone! Be sure to check out the latest winners, and thanks so much to everyone who played along!

Our sketch today is based on this beautiful card by Laurie! Today is sad for me, as sad as last week... today is Laurie's last sketch with us! She has been such an inspiration, and I have often marveled at not only her amazing creativity, but also her ability to shuffle so many responsibilities! I am so blessed to have been able to design with her for such a wonderfully long time! THANK YOU Laurie, I miss you already! Here's her re-take... 

And from the DT...

Okay~ are you ready to ROCK it?!?

Hello dear RockStars... I am sorry to be so late! I spent most of the day trying to sleep off a allergy migraine, and although I started this post earlier, I didn't get much farther than adding the pics! But hopefully you snuck over to Kasia or Laurie's to get a look at the sketch!

Our card today is based on this very cool card of Laurie's - and here is her second take...

Here's a beautiful card from Kasia... (mine will be up later)

Hello sports fans! Sorry I am late - I have a migraine/head cold/allergy thing going on (for the second week) & Jeff is working overtime... so I have been trying to "mom" from the couch today. But at least the kids haven't burned anything down. Yet. Now that they are napping, I managed to get this typed up! But I know you - you're off playing & enjoying the day & haven't even noticed my tardiness - right?!?

When I plunder Laurie's blog for card sketches I ALWAYS hit gold!!! And this delightful card is no exception - nor her sample re-take... LOVE IT!

And here's the other DT samples...
