TESC113 Hay There!
May 14th, 2010
Happy Friday! It’s time for another Sketch Challenge from Taylor – TESC113 – and boy did I ever have FUN with this one! You know how sometimes you just get lost in the pure joy of stamping? That’s how creating this card was! This was the perfect opportunity to ink up some Denami stamps I purchased way back in January at the CHA SuperShow. I have always loved DeNami and just had to buy a few when I saw their booth at the show. I have no idea why I am so drawn to farm related images…maybe it’s because our house used to be part of a dairy farm…I don’t know, but I love farm stamps! Pretty funny considering what a total city girl I am!
I actually followed the sketch quite literally with just some added layering. I used papers from both the Farm Fresh and Thrift Shop 8×8 pads (October Afternoon) along with SU cardstock in Summer Sun, Real Red, and Chocolate Chip. Ribbon is left over from my kitchen curtains and buttons are from my stash. The little scallop squares were punched with a Marvy punch and the circles and label are Spellbinders dies. Border is a SU punch. Images are colored with Copics.
My friend Kathy’s birthday was yesterday. I realize that nothing about this card screams *birthday*, but I just thought it was so FUN that I wanted to send it to her. Trouble was I just didn’t have the right sentiment. I finally decided to just create one on my computer. Problem solved! *grin* The little fame animals came in a set if four, so the inside of the card was the perfect place for the 4th image.
This card just makes me happy! I hope it gives you a little grin too! Now let’s see what inspiration the rest of the Sketch Crew has in store this week:
I’m looking forward to my stamp class tonight and going out for tea with my prayer group tomorrow afternoon. I hope you have a fantastic weekend! Thanks for stopping by!

I love farm stamps, too, Jami. Maybe it’s a “living vicariously” thing. I love following Anna Wight’s blog for that very reason! Your card is ADORABLE and so clever!!!
