Lunch Date

Well, I'm certainly excited about today.  I get to meet one of my dearest friends for lunch today to celebrate her Birthday.  This is the friend I mentioned the other day whose son, Jake, cut and broke his finger and had to go to the Emergency Department.  Jake ended up going to work that night because his finger was numb from Lidocaine.  We tried telling him that it would hurt when the numbness wore off, but he is a guy. . . need I say, stubborn?  Well, about two hours before his shift ended, he was SORE.  He couldn't take his pain medication until he got home.  Lesson learned (we hope).  Well, anyway. . . .I am meeting Kim for lunch today at a yummy restaurant called BJ's.

This card was made as my weekly project for my Hostess position with Mark's Finest Papers - Sketch With a Twist Challenge on Speedy TV.  I used their "I'm In Stitches" stamp set - one I've been using quite a bit lately.  I just felt like making something really bright and cheery.


Signing up for Speedy TV is absolutely FREE.  It gives you access to many tutorials, their gallery, blog hops (one going on right now), and allows you to enter SEVERAL different challenges.  Mine is called Sketch With a Twist, and I would LOVE to have you all play along.  One lucky winner receives a free stamp set each week, and participation has been low, so please stop by to sign up and play along.  You could be that lucky winner.

Of course, I can't resist entering my card in some challenges, so here they are:

http://www.pileitonchallenge.blogspot.com/2012/08/pio-33-bingo.html - Pile It On Challenges - BINGO - My Bingo here is Fabric (felt), Tag, and Sewing.

Thanks for visiting me today.  I hope you will take the time to visit these fun challenges I've mentioned and play along.  The more, the merrier.  I appreciate your comments and look forward to stopping by to say hello to all of you as well.  Have a blessed day.

    Oh this is lovely. I so love felt and stitching and this is beautifully done. I used to sew so much before my car accident but find it harder now, though I do try to sew a little on my cards now and again.
    Best wishes Linda x
