Seize the Sketch - Take Flight

Good morning, sketch fans! 

It's time for me to say farewell to the Seize the Sketch family, but you can bet I will be back to play along often!  Even though I won't be an official STS designer, I will stop in often to visit the amazing team that I adore and will play along often!

 There's still time to play along with Seize the Sketch #15!  I paired the sketch up with the subtle color combo at Dynamic Duos, DD #93.

I dusted off a gorgeous set from My Favorite Things, Mona Pendleton Designs Winged Beauties and the matching Dienamics!  The soft and chic papers from the new Glitz Carpe Diem line was PERFECT with these butterflies!  Oh, and have I mentioned that I LOVE my new Simon Says Stamp inks..oh my goodness, the are amazing!

Thanks so much for stopping by the stage!
