If you are new here, you may not know that I stamp, and colour, and paint, and do anything else crafty in my kitchen. YUP, no studio here! I have a limited amount of storage space and I don't like clutter so every so often I get in a clean and purge mood and that is where I was last week. There is a desk in our kitchen and two drawers are 'mine' and while I was cleaning them out I came across Mo's Rustic Windowbox and thought...hey, I can use this for the sketch challenge! That's how it happened!
I make a swift decision either by coming across a pre-stamped image, or a scrap of paper that is lying around and I DON'T waver from it. So yes, I have coloured this one before, but it was there, it was stamped and the inspiration just hit me so I went with it! But, I didn't want it to look EXACTLY like my last one so I did change up the colours of the flowers, window frame and box. And I think I like this one even better than my first one!

Next week our theme is BACK TO SCHOOL and nobody can be happier about that than ME! Although our twin boys are grown and 21 years old they are still in school and both were home for the summer. Now don't get me wrong...they are FANTASTIC kids but I am just out of practice of working all day and coming home to cook for four adults (who eat like six!), plus extra for leftovers! It was a LONG tiring summer for this babe and I am SO looking forward to throwing in a WW dinner in the microwave every so often and not having even one single dish that has to be washed, except for maybe my wine glass!
So I raise my wine glass to all the mom's out there who look forward to 'BACK TO SCHOOL'!

Wow, Linda, your card is just gorgeous. Love that bright color and that image is far out...
Here in Holland my kids went to school 2 weeks ago and i hang out the flag.... yeay. We had, and still have, a rainy summer so you can imagine i went crazy inside the house and now..... there is peace. So lovely.
Have a great weekend.
Hugs, Yvon
This is gorgeous Linda. I think it has such a country charm to it. I just coloured this image up using a few pinks and it is not looking as beautiful as this! Have a wonderful weekend.
