What a GLORIOUS Friday Afternoon!

Can you believe this weather, those of you in Middle Tennessee???? WOW, it's so glorious out! And I'm stuck in my studio! LOL! I'm working on the Hostess Appreciation Luncheon invitations; it's going to be a wonderful luncheon - and it's not too late to have YOUR party, so YOU can be invited, too! :) Just call or email me, and let's get you scheduled!

LAST CALL to enter the blog candy giveaway! Scroll down to Monday's entry to find out how to enter several times; for a $25 gift certificate, it's definitely worth it! :D

Now, on to today's card. Since I OBVIOUSLY can't show you what I'm working on :D, I decided to take a break and do another challenge card. This challenge is from Gretchen Barron, who is an INCREDIBLY gifted and GIVING demonstrator. She's a real hero in my opinion, helping to start a relief group for demonstrators who have been devastated by catastrophe.

It was a sketch challenge, and I followed it pretty closely. :D

Card stocks: Real Red, Chocolate Chip, More Mustard, Pumpkin Pie, Whisper White

Ink: Ruby Red, Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie, More Mustard, Creamy Caramel

Stamp sets: Defining Alpha, Pendant Park

Accessories: sponge, brayer, Big Shot - I LOVE MY BIG SHOT!!!!, Top Note die, craft knife, paper trimmer, bone folder, leaves #2 die

This was a fun break! Now, back to the invitations! :D

Have a WONDERFUL weekend! I hope you'll take the time to enjoy your friends and family, but take a little time to STAMP SOMETHING, too! :D
