You all know Narelle as the queen of fussy cutting but she is also amazing at creating sketches!  Just take a look at what she has for us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!!  Yeah, I know….fabulous!  So fabulous that it took me a bit to narrow down all the ideas I had.

Basically the decision was made for me when I picked up this already colored flower that I had made while my mom was visiting.  I was showing her all the cool stuff you can do with Blendabilities and we use this retired Elements of Style stamp to play with.  She chose it from my BOGO offerings after she made an order (for Blendabilities, of course).  The depth of color from these markers really is fantastic!  And yes, you can use them on other than White/Vanilla paper.  You have to watch the bleed a little because the paper weave is looser but it is easy enough to get the feel for it!  I combined it with the Dictionary Background Stamp after cutting my colored image out with the Ovals Framelits.  All I had to do was add on some retired Naturals Ribbon and the new Venetian Crochet Trim (LOVE this trim!!).  I tied a Very Vintage Button with some Linen Thread and called it done.  YAY…..I actually used a panel from my “to-make” pile!  Piece by piece I’m trying to catch up!

So this weekend I can actually start posting some of my projects from display stamping but where should I start??  With a brand new set from the Holiday Catalog (being released to demos later this week) OR with Kinda Eclectic OR with Amazing Birthday??  I’d love to know what YOU want to see first so let me know!

I hope your week is great!  Until this weekend….have a great rest of your week!
