Sketch 42 at Sketch Saturday

A very good Saturday to you all!!

And what a lovely Saturday it promisses to be here in The Netherlands. Yesterday, Friday the 13th (actually... I'm typing this on Friday night so really I should say today but since this post won't go public until tomorrow morning I'll just say yesterday for now (have I lost you yet :) ), was a very promissing day. My hubby and I had to go to Dyanne's school for a talk with her teacher so my sweetie decided to work at home and we had nice cups of coffee and lunch together outside... first time this year and I loved it!!! Later Dyanne and I did some work in the garden and it was the first time Amy got to play outside in the backgarden. I was told that this weather would continue for the rest of the weekend in which case I won't be behind my computer much this weekend :).

Anyway... you didn't come here for a talk about the weather. It's Saturday so time for another sketch by my dear talented friend Jo. As always Jo came up with a brilliant sketch to get your creativity going: I'm beginning to notice that I have a soft spot for sketches with a square in the middle. Just love how that highlights your stamped image. As always I had a lot of fun with Jo's sketch. I've been on a shopping spree lately when it comes to rubber... just to much gorgeous new stamps to buy I'm affraid and where other people spoil themselves to make up, clothes and chocolate when they need a make me feel better boost, I prefer stamps! A (for me) new brand I absolutely couldn't resist is The Greeting Farm. This brand with their gorgeous stamps has made is way into my top 3 of favourite brands in no time. I received my last order (I have to admit that I have treated myself to three orders of stamps from this company :S ) last Saturday and I just had to ink one of the new fairies up straight away. So here is my card with this weeks sketch:

I am so much in love with this cutie. Her name is Tink and you can find her here. She is so much fun to colour. Her hair, skirt and wings are actually glittery from my Sakura Gell Pens but you don't really see it on this picture. The butterfly gems are actually from a pimp up your phone kit I bought at a budget store (Action for my Dutch friends). Loved them and they were very good for my wallet :). Here is a close up of my new friend:

Gotta love her!!! And she has two very cute friends too that are waiting to be coloured on my desk :).

Anyway, back to the sketch. This week is sponsored by The Cutting Cafe. They sell very cool and handy printable stamps and for this weeks challenge you have the chance to win three stamps of your choise! Further details can be found on the Sketch Saturday blog.

I have been lucky enough to see most of the cards my fellow Design Team members and our Guest Design Team member Shary have made for this week and they are all gorgeous (but didn't expect anything less :) ). I strongly advice you to visit their blogs and get inspired. This is Shary's second week with us so next week we'll have another Guest Designer but I for sure will visit Shary's blog more often from now on. Gorgeous work sweetie!! Thank you for joining us!

And now it's time for you to join us. Do your thing with Jo's brilliant sketch and have fun!! I'm of to drink a nice glass of wine with my sweetie (don't forget... I'm typing this on Friday evening so that's perfectly normal :) ). Have a great Saturday everybody, I wish us all a lovely sunny day!!
