JFF - Trish's Sunday Sketch for my group

Sail Away! That's the name of this lovely stamp from Stampin' Up! and every time I look at it an old Christopher Cross song comes to my mind:
It's not far down to paradise
At least it's not for me
And if the wind is right you can sail away
And find tranquility
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me

It's not far to never never land
No reason to pretend
And if the wind is right you can find the joy
Of innocence again
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me


Sailing
Takes me away
To where I've always heard it could be
Just a dream and the wind to carry me
And soon I will be free


Fantasy
It gets the best of me
When I'm sailing
All caught up in the reverie
Every word is a symphony
Won't you believe me


It's not far back to sanity
At least it's not for me
And when the wind is right you can sail away
And find serenity
The canvas can do miracles
Just you wait and see
Believe me

Greetings from Texas - LTXTS10

Greetings from Texas. This card was created for Libby's Texas Tues - Step Tuesdays using Trish's Sunday Sketch for my CardSketchesBy ZacksNana Group. This is a Stampin' Up! image and I colored with Copics. We took a drive today and this is pretty much what I saw. We left here about 10:30 AM and drove west. After several hours we found ourselves in Muenster, TX. Muenster is a predominantly German Catholic community and it's very picturesque. We enjoy visiting there. My card represents life in rural Texas, fields of hay rolls and red, white and blue barns.

If you live in or just plain love Texas and want to play along the rules are PDS -

1. Texas themed creation

2. Post it to your blog

3. Link it to Libby's blog

4. Post every 1st & 3rd Tuesday of the month.

Please visit the blogs of the rest of Libby's HIRED HANDS, their links are in my side bar.

Thanks for looking!

Tweet, Tweet, Tweet - PaperCraftPlanet CUTTLEBUG-ERS Challenge #77 color combo - pink, black and white. This card also works for CardSketchesByZacksNana Trish's Sunday Sketches #13.

When I saw this dp I just had to use it for these challenges. It's from Prima the Rebellious Coolection "Drama". Don't you just love those cute little birdies! I hand drew the focal image and added some rub ons from Basic Grey's Eve collection. The sentiment is from a Technique Tuesday set. I offset the Top Note die to create the focal image mattes.

Come join us at PaperCraftPlanet's CUTTLEBUG-ERS and if you like sketches come join us in my yahoo group CardSketchesByZacksNana to play along with some fun sketches.

CardSketchesByZacksNana Trish's Sunday Sketch

Hi There:
Once a month I post a sketch challenge for my group on Yahoo. But every Sunday my sweet friend, Trish Davey, from across the pond in Oz posts a sketch for my group to play with. This is the Sunday May 9 sketch and my creation using the sketch. I just purchased this Sweet Scoops stamp set from Stampin' Up! and wanted to get it inky. So I stamped my "SCOOPS" with VersaMark on colored cardstock. Then I added my minty bits to my mint choco -chip, my strawberries to my strawberries and cream and my choco chips to my choco chip cookie dough ice creams and heat embossed. My bowl is punched from some Basic Grey dp. The ribbon is ki memories and the flower is s e i . I was inspired by not only the sketch but a card I saw in the summer mini catalog from Stampin' Up!
