Totally Tilda and ANOTHER Sketch Saturday!!!

Good morning everyone....Well, this week's challenge over at Totally Tilda is to use glitter and sparkle.  Well, sadly...glitter and sparkle don't really show up online but I'll just mention that I have used glitter on her dress (it looks blue in the picture but its really purple glitter in real life) and I've also used bling on my title tag. 

Also....you might have recognized the sketch from the post below...It's the sketch from Sketch Saturday this week.  I liked it so much I just had to make another card.  I just flipped it and used it again!! :)

Sweet Sketch Wednesday.....Challenge #68

I just love the sketches at Sweet Sketch Wednesday.  They are always just so fun to work with.  Here's my take on this week's sketch.  I am getting a head start on the Christmas cards this year.  This weekend, I'm heading out with the girls and we've rented a B&B for the weekend in Lake Country!! We're looking forward to a weekend of scrapping and visiting and of course eating...with perhaps a few glasses of wine thrown in for good measure!! :)    Can't wait to just kick back and create!! It's been far too long!!
Check back tomorrow as I will have another sketch and layout from Sketches: Creatively Yours to share with you all! 

My recent FOs (Finished Objects!)

Okay - so first I finished these....

and then.....I started and finished this:

This was wool I purchased while on Hornby Island this summer.  I bought a skein for myself and my cousin bought one for her.  Then we bought the needles and I proceeded to knit her a scarf while on the island.  I finally just got around to knitting my own.  The colors were obtained naturally from hand dying using the most bizarre items.  My cousin's scarf was almost gold and it was dyed from polyspores (which is some kind of mossy type stuff found around the base of a tree).  My scarf was dyed using mushrooms.  It's almost a pinky color in real life...I just love it.  Anyway, the gal's blog is http://www.sheepthrillsyarn.blogspot.com/.  It's facinating to me to see how she does this.  I aspire to learn how to dye one day....and the more natural the better.  She mentioned you can do some pretty cool stuff with carrot tops, etc.  I can only imagine!! :)  Anyway, ....now that I've completed those two items....today I started on these:

I've definitely been bitten by the sock bug....and if you look closely - you will see some beads!!! I've always been a big fan of beads....so by combining the two of them.....its a PERFECT MATCH!!! I'll keep you posted on my progress! :)
