Now, why you ask did I say I cheated? Well, Lisa and I were doing some more cyber challenges and this was an AWESOME layout that I saw on a card made by Cindy Haffner. So we decided this would make an excellent sketch challenge for us. I sit down to get started on mine and I remember that I had the wonderful stamps AND COLORED flower base laying around SOMEWHERE on my desk top (and if you saw my desktop you would know it probably would have been easier for me to stamp and color a new one - LOL!!). But I did find it pretty quickly and was able to put this card together in no time at all!

The colors are Groovy Guava, Soft Sky, Blue Bayou and Whisper White. I used the Groovy Guava Designer Paper on the background. The set is Fun and Fast. We got this set at convention this year and I just LOVE it! It's one of the 'all purpose' sets that is fun (and fast - hehehehehehe) to use! What can I say...it's still early morning here! Ribbon is Soft Sky double-stitched and I used both the small and the large oval punches. Instead of centering one inside the other, I decided to offset the small one. Oh, tag corner was used on the whisper white layer. To get the large ticket corner punch effect on the groovy guava layer I first punched with my tag corner punch and then used my 1/2" circle punch to make it look like a large ticket corner punch. This card is 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 square.

Not sure if I will be getting anything else posted between now and Christmas. Alot will depend on if I get some of my Christmas gifts made (yes, I AM THAT far behind!). So if you don't see me for a couple days you will know I'm hard at work getting things done!

Happy Stampin'!
