It's been a busy week here at the Kempton camp. My hubby has been working on a big project at work, putting in 
extra hours and I have worked every night this week! I'm not complaining, in fact... I'm thankful that I'm able to work. However, I'm looking forward to a little R&R with my family tomorrow. I may hit the fabric store to buy some goodies tomorrow to play with my bigshot and NEW sewing machine. :) Quick story ~ I called my hubby's aunt today to ask about what I should be looking for when I shop for a machine, and about two hours later, they showed up on my doorstep with one.. Wow! Now I have no excuses, I need to learn how to work it!Tonight I had a friend here and we made two really cute on board albums for her children.. I may post those later this weekend. She just walked out the door about 40 minutes ago, so this is my card for the 411 Sketch challenge for this week. It's really quite simple and very PURPLE. :) I used eggplant envy and amethyst with whisper white. When watercoloring the image, I added some so saffron (for effect), but I wanted to keep this card as clean as possible. I used my new embossing folder (which I cut with my tabletop papercutter) to make a row of polka dots 6 dots wide. This simple sketch could have you cranking out cards quite quickly, so give it a try!
Last week one lucky player on the 411 blog won secret blog candy just for playing! Maybe you'll be next!
TGIF!

It's purple. I LOVE purple!! This card is so soft and serene. Anyone would love to receive it (especially your friend in icy MN who happens to adore purple). LOL!!!
Have fun playing with the sewing machine. I can't wait to see what you make!!!
Love it. And I don't even like purple. I spent the afternoon packing up Stamping Stuff as we will be on the move this week. Sorry I can't play - but will tune in next week.
