SFYTT Reminder + Verve News

Hello, my friends, long time, no post. I've been super busy in my off-line life along with chasing away some pesky fall germs, so not much time left for crafting. Hoping to get inky this weekend, though. I'll definitely have some new Verve to share next week. In case you haven't heard, new stamps are coming! Peeks begin on Tuesday and continue through Friday, which is also release day. I am super excited to show off these awesome new sets!

In other news, the end of October is rapidly approaching, and thus so is the October SFYTT deadline. Have you played along? Here's the sketch again:

And here are two different cards I did with the sketch earlier this month:

October SFYTT - Market Street Stamps

Happy World Card Making Day to all! This is my second post today, so if you're looking for Verve's October Diva Inspirations hop, just scroll down or click HERE. If you're looking for the October SFYTT, stay put, you're in the right place :)

This month, we are sponsored by Market Street Stamps. I've been eyeing their cute sets for a long time now, so I'm just thrilled to have them as our sponsor this month!

Here's the October sketch:

You'll find the entry form on Jen's blog. Can't wait to see what you create!

More inspiration from the SFYTT sisters:

I chose to work with Market Street's Gone Campin set. I love the whimsical style of the artwork, and the sentiments are fantastic. I used papers from the Simple Stories Take A Hike 6x6 pad. The campfire image is stamped directly onto a pattern from Take a Hike, then colored (sparingly) with Copics. The bottom was screaming for something, so I added a little olive hemp and a square button.

Have a fantastic day and weekend!

Hugs,
