Setting the Scene....FMS343

I thought I would showcase some more of Stampin' Up!'s new colors today.  These colors just pop - so bright and summery!  And that bright yellow bench is the perfect spot to meet up with a friend to chat.  But if you are waiting on your own it's good to have reading material

nearby........

Jen Timko's terrific sketch was perfect for creating my scene........as opposed to creating a scene which I do try so hard not to do ;0)  Join us at Freshly Made Sketches!

I definitely needed a speedy bicycle to get through everything this week......Miss E's last soccer game, dance recital and Kindergarten graduation! Whew is it summer vacation yet?

An ice cream sundae was the perfect way to celebrate Kindergarten graduation!

Emma's dress may have inspired me to use a print from the new Designer Series Paper called Best Route. And that Blueberry Bushel looks great with the pop of Lovely Lipstick!

I love Amy's layered sketch this week!  Join us at Freshly Made Sketches!

Stamp Review Crew: Animal Outing

The Stamp Review Crew is featuring Animal Outing this week!  It is such a cute set that is full of surprises like this koala peeking out of the kangaroo pouch - makes a sweet baby card!  Thought you would like an update on our baby animals.  Emma's pups Cooper and Benny just turned one but are still as wild as can be.  So don't believe everything you see in this angelic picture....

You are right on track if you arrived from seeing Kelly Kent's wonderful work. If you missed it head on back........

Otherwise keep going to see Stesha Bloodhart's fabulous work!

I used the sketch at Global Design Project for my design today.
