MFT's - Round 2

This month, I had a chance to participate in the MFT monthly challenge and now I am even able to sneak a card in for the weekly challenge as well.  How fun!!

Our son just accepted a engineering co-op but its in a city almost 3 hours away from us.  It's a beautiful city - a place he was hoping to get the opportunity to live at some point, so he is totally psyched about  moving there and we're psyched for him.  He has never rented an apartment before and we certainly are no experts, having lived in homes for the last 25 years, but between the 3 of us, we hoped to figure things out.  Being the weekend, no one was available to show us around (we knew that going there), but we did accomplish a lot and we have a long list we are waiting for call backs on. 

Our son had to get back to school to finish some projects and study for semester exams and we headed back toward home.   We were exhausted!!  We had done a LOT in less than 24 hours.  When we got home, there was tons I could have done around the house but we both just crashed on the sofa to watch a movie.   That gave me the chance to get this MFT done. 

This is the sketch for MFT's this week..... They always have such good ones.

And here is my take on the sketch.   I love these A' La Mode stamps.   So cute and super simple to color.

Here's a close up.

So glad I got the chance to play along!

What If? Wednesday Sketch Challenge - Iris Window

It's Wednesday....... What if? Wednesday to be more specific, so Repeat Impressions has a great sketch challenge for us. 

Here it is.

Here is my vision for this sketch.   I used Repeat Impressions image - Iris Window - 919-I.  I colored it in with my Copic markers and used my colorless blender to give the background a softer cloud-like appearance. 

Here's a close up of that gorgeous Repeat Impressions image - Iris Window - 919-I.  

Now is your chance to have some fun and play along.   All you have to do is create your interpretation of this sketch.  Link your card on the Repeat Impressions blog - The House That Stamps Built. You don't even have to use a Repeat Impressions stamp but we would sure love it if you did. Playing along is fun and you have a chance to win an awesome prize - a $25 gift certificate to the Repeat Impressions store.  See the full rules and instructions here.

Thanks for stopping.  More soon!!
