Good morning! WOW- what an AMAZING group of entries last week - they are all FABULOUS!!! Thanks so much for playing! I am almost finished with the winner's posts - they will be up tomorrow night. We're getting ready for Maisie's 3rd birthday party tomorrow... where does the time go?

I loved the simplicity of this card by Laurie and thought it would make a fun sketch! Don't underestimate it - I think there's a LOT you can do with it... I think I'll be using it again this week!

Here's Laurie's re-take on her first card...

And from the rest of the DT...

First, I would like to thank my super silly friends for hijacking the post last week to wish me a happy birthday! They are so awesome!!! Second, I would like to thank Brandi for her AMAZING job last month as our RetroSketch Headliner!!! Third, A HUGE THANK YOU to the 101 people we had play last week - OH MY, you are all SPECTACULAR!!!

Well, I am officially "retired". AT least until both the kids start to school. (But maybe by then Jeff will be used to having a hot meal on the table when he gets home & let me stay home - LOL!) This comgin week I absolutely WILL get caught up with the winner posts! I promise!

Today's sketch is based on this gorgeous card by Kasia... isn't she incredible?!?

Here's her re-take...

And from the rest of the DT...

Good morning! Did you have a wonderful Christmas? Or Hanukkah?  We had a wonderful holiday, I worked my last day at work, celebrated my 40th birthday.... whew! I'm looking forward to being a SAHM, getting caught up on laundry and all things crafty - so watch out!

The sketch today is based on this little card I made recently. Here's my re-take...

And from the other FABULOUS DT members...

Laurie 

Kasia

Brandi

***P.S. The DT has taken over the blog to wish Arielle a very Happy Birthday and to surprise her with a few birthday cards from us. It would be extra fun if you could use the sketch to make a fun birthday card for her too (but not required)!

Happy Birthday Arielle - From Laurie, Kasia and Brandi!!!

Good morning! I hope you're having a wonderful holiday season! As a nation, I know yesterday was rough. My thoughts and prayers are with the families that suffered such a senseless tragedy. I'm home with sick kids... we were up until 5 this morning! But I'd much rather them be ill this weekend rather than the next...

Our sketch today is by Laurie, her original card is so elegant! And her re-take is just gorgeous....

Here is inspiration from the rest of the DT...

Time to get inky!
