The sponsor over at CPS this week is Clearsnap.  I got to work with some Smooch Spritz, and I actually liked doing something different & getting super inky.  What I like about the spritz a little better than other "sprays" is that I had more control over where I would be spritzing ink.  Some sprays, you have no idea where ink will land.  If you play along with this week's sketch you have a chance to win a prize from Clearsnap (super cool!) . Once, the spritz dried I added some paper (American Crafts & Authentique), then stamped a banner from Lawn Fawn's banneriific set, and added a "boo" sentiment from the Heebie Jeebies set .  To finish off the card I added a Jenni Bowlin button (that I have been hoarding forever lol) , tied with bakers twine.  I followed the CPS sketch #233 for my card.

Here is my take on this weeks sketch over at CPS .  Head on over and play along, this week the sponsor is Flower Soft.   I used the Clear to See stamp set from Lawn Fawn. Paired with some fabulous plaid paper by The Girls Paperie.  I know the company is no longer, but I really love that plaid.  Plaid for me is timeless, kind of like damask & polka dots. I stamped the glasses onto a Spellbinders Classic Circles die cut, and added pink pearls (Want2scrap) on the edges of the glasses, and stamped the "be unique" sentiment.  I may write my daughter a little note about being true to herself.  She will be going into the 10th grade this year, and it is so easy for teenagers to lose themselves trying to seek approval of others.  I am really proud of her, and the young lady she is becoming.  Just my way of giving her a little attention and positive reinforcement.  

Today I am showing my card using the CPS sketch #206 . I followed the sketch pretty exactly.  Sometimes I use a sketch as inspiration and a starting point, other times I use them exactly, it just depends on my mood, how much time I have to play and if my mojo is hanging around. Have you ever lost your voice from allergies before?  I think I did this weekend.  At first I thought I was getting a cold, but I really think it is outdoor allergies.  The pollen count is very high right now, and my car looks yellow from all the pollen on it.   Did you all have a nice long weekend?  My children had a 4 day weekend, so that was really nice to relax. I hope you have a great Tuesday!
