Life Is About ...

Hello, friends, sorry for the long absence. This past weekend, I had the honor of hosting, along with my siblings, a 50th wedding anniversary celebration for my parents. As you can imagine, there were lots of preparations, the biggest being a slideshow featuring photographs from their wedding day as well as highlights from the past 50 years. That's a lot of old photos to locate, scan, and organize! Around 2 am the day of the event, my mind was spinning with all kinds of cool things we could have incorporated, so if you're ever planning one of these, give me a shout! Maybe some other couple can benefit from my sleepless night {grin}. Despite all the could-haves, it was a lovely celebration. I'm so proud of my parents and their commitment to, and love for, each other! 

And now, a little papercrafty catching up. Monday, Reverse Confetti unveiled the July Sketch For You To Try! You have until the 14th to play along. Are you in? Hope so! 

Here's what we're playing with this month:

I took a few liberties with the sketch, but the main elements are all there. The awesome sentiment, from Reverse Confetti's DREAM IN COLOR set, has been stamped in VersaMark ink on black card stock, then heat embossed with white embossing powder. The horizontal strip is cork, and I accented with baker's twine, a big ol' yellow button, and a rainbow of sequins just for fun.

The SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY details you need to know…

• There will be a new sketch posted on the Reverse Confetti blog on the 1st of each month.

• The sketch link list will be open from the 1st until noon CST on the 14th. The sketch will be posted in the sidebar and you will be able to click on it to get to that month’s SFYTT post with the link list during this time.

• We originally stated that you must play with Reverse Confetti stamps to win; however, we are allowing “anything goes” until the end of the year. Note, that we will be adding this requirement in January.
