Hi everyone! It's Tuesday and time for Mercy's Sketch Challenge! I broke out a very new set to me from Stampin' Up! called For All You Do and used the BEAUTIFUL Cottage Wall DSP. I'm not really a purple person, but I'm starting to like it more and more!! I even ordered a new cardigan sweater for Fall in the most beautiful shade of purple.....
Anywho...this has been and will be one crazy week around here! Today is my darling daughter, Sarah's, 8th birthday. We had a family party for her on Saturday, we spent all day Monday with my Aunt, Cousin and her two beautiful daughters at the pool, today Sarah is getting her ears pierced, and Friday is Sarah's friend birthday party (she gets a friend party EVERY OTHER year)...Sheesh....can't wait until school starts....I NEED MY ROUTINE BACK!!! LOL! Only a few more days...
Well, thank you for letting me get all of that off my chest (giggle)! Don't forget to check out the Muse's to see what they did with this amazing sketch:

I'm loving your card, Jackie! I wasn't much of a purple fan but I ordered that DSP to get myself USING those colours ;)
Happy belated birthday to Sarah!

Fabulous card! Just love these colours together and the layering of the nesties is perfect!
I hear you about routine!!! Just 3 1/2 weeks left till I can get some routine back! But with all the extra activities starting up and two Sept. b-days it's a bit crazy till the end of Sept! Life is never dull with kids :D
