Sunday's Sketch Challenge

Well I realize it's now Monday...but after arriving home last night from a fabulous Atlantic Lobster dinner at friends...I had no strength to even turn on the computer...so here it is today instead...hopefully I will be a little better with my timing next week!

I want to highlight a two page layout by Becky Fleck's PageMaps I will be posting my interpretation of this sketch shortly...how about you? Are you up for a challenge?

How about a Sneak Peek???

Have a look at some of the new* colours added to the CTMH colour wheel! I am loving Pear and Lagoon...I thought I'd let you have a look at a couple of the new B&T duos paper collections too...

This one is called 'Magnifique' and I've seen it used in more masculine layouts as well as winter themed and elegant ones as well...can't wait to start playing with this one. There are a few additions to the Sparkles, Blue & Green Asst. (shown below) and a Red, Pink, & Purple Asst.

This one is called Hooligans...they have also added some Mini-Medleys in Pear, Lagoon and Sunset...and you might just see a little tidbit of something felt to the left of this picture...

I really love this one...might have something to do with the name...'Olivia'...it reminds me a lot of the Basic Grey paper style...of course you'll notice that the new ink colours go beautifully with the new paper collections...they have even added some snazzy new 'Opaques' in Licorice, Mocha and Pearl as well...

Now, there are many new stamp sets to help bring all these new products together and I hope to keep things going here with some pictures soon...

Feel free to contact me to get your hands on the new Autumn/Winter 2010 catalog...you can always look to your hearts content...but you'll have to wait till September 1st to make any orders...sorry about the teaser, but I couldn't resist ;)

Summer Fun

Ok so it's nice and relaxing here in Kelowna, but the smoke from the forest fires in the surrounding areas makes it look like it's overcast...the sun is shining, just getting a filter from the smoke!

Isn't that sweet, sisterly love....

All you need is swim trunks, a large floating device and water.....

Looks like he's walking on water...not so...just a great 300mm

It's a rough life, but somebody has got to do it...

Now that he has mastered that, he can move onto a surf board...?

Enjoy your day, I know we will :) TFSB
