October Sketch For You To Try!

Well hello!!  I know - it's been a while since I've blogged, actually it's been a while since I've stamped! Life is busy and getting the better of me right now, but I hope to have some more time in the next couple of weeks!  Today is actually my son's tenth birthday and we're prepping to have some boys over for a sleepover.  Which begs the question: What the heck have I gotten myself into?  and secondly, how is it possible that my baby is 10?!!

Anyway, onto to the actual stamping stuff.  This month we have a super fun sketch with lots of layers!  We're sponsored this month by Market Street Stamps - and this was actually my first time working with their images!  I love their whimsical style and of course they stamp like a dream.  I fell in love with the Gone Campin' set.  I mean, hello?  marshmallows with faces?  Yes please!

I kept it pretty simple by not matting any of my layers and combined the mosquito image with this fabulous sentiment for my image panel.  I embossed the background panel with the Stampin Up Woodgrain embossing folder and used some of their tulle ribbon for the little tab parts of the sketch - I was hoping it would look like mosquito netting!


Here's the fabulous sketch!  I hope you'll play along with us at some point this month!

You'll definitely want to hop over and see what the rest of my sketch sisters have cooked up for you - they're amazing!
