Gettin' Sketchy & Waltzing All at the Same Time!

And how was your weekend?

Mine was nice as I had lots of time to be creative and

I am happy to say that that 'spark' I have been missing

of late seems to be returning.

It may be because Paul is in the middle of a week's

vacation and I am just more relaxed when he is home.

Speaking of which, since he is home, we have many

fall cleaning things on our list and tomorrow is

carpet-cleaning day.  So thought I would post a couple

of projects I made for challenges now because I

think Monday is going to be a 'smidge' on the busy side.

This first project is for 'Get Sketchy' #60.

What a fun and creative sketch to work with.
I turned mine a bit, but followed the sketch for sure : )

Featured here are 'quilt blocks' of DP from

Webster's Pages and K&Company.

The sentiment from My Mind's Eye and the felt ornament

is from Little Yellow Bicycle.

The satin ribbon is by Martha Stewart and I can't say

enough about the wonderful twine from The Twinery.

The color?  Maraschino.  Love it!

The next challenge I played along with is

Waltzingmouse Sketch #19

My creative friend Mona Pendleton is on the

DT over there and is always an inspiration.

Beautiful DP from the 'Meadowlark' collection by My Mind's Eye

and Bo-Bunny's 'Mama-Razzi' collection provide the

foundation for this card.  The ornament stamps are also from

My Mind's Eye.  I love that Prima jewel surrounded by

more twine from The Twinery, this time in 'Caribbean'.

These are two really 'challenging' challenges.

Are you up for it?

I sure appreciate you stopping by and taking a 

'peek' in The Open Window.

Don't forget, we are celebrating our

first anniversary over at

The Play Date Cafe!

We have a wonderful sponsor who's DT

will celebrating with us as well as our

returning DT alumni, including our very first

Private Blend Designer, Mona Pendleton.
