Did you read my post from yesterday? I mentioned how much I love stamping the same image over and over again (pattern-making), and would you lookie here? I done went and did it again. I couldn't help it -- this Kim Hughes candle is too cute to stamp just once! Can you believe this is the first time I've gotten this Heart Warmers set inky? ME NEITHER!!! What have I been waiting for?! It's muy adorable, and now I'm determined to get every single image and sentiment in it inked before the holidays are over. It's a personal challenge. (Yeah, I'm pretty tough on myself, don't you think?)
This card uses Jen's Sketch For You To Try for today. Be sure to visit Susan, Amy R. and Amy S. to see how those creative gals have interpreted said sketch. (Fellow SFYTTeammate Shannan is out of town and will be posting her sample a little late.) Then go by Jen's blog to find the sketch and see what loveliness she and Nov. Guest Designer Becca Feeken have come up with. Escape the chilly weather by settling in with a cuppa and get started on your own version. When you upload it to your SCS gallery, be sure to use 'SFYTT' as one of your keywords so we can give you snaps.

As soon as I saw your card, I thought to myself: I just love Carole's repeated stamp backgrounds, and then here you were chattering about it too--I love it when our brains click! Love the warm soft glow around each candle, and who can resist Miss Sophie!
Hope all is well in your corner--I miss you!
Hugs,
Amy

Darling Carole! I used Sophie last week and she's a doll baby!
I hope you and Mr. C are doing well being away from your other boys!
BTW - you haven't sent me your temporary address and I need to get your stamps to you! I'm anxious for your promise to make something "Yummy" for me! :)
