Thanks Stacy for encouraging us with Soft Surroundings. I know that catalog company well! Pampered and gorgeous things. I would so wear Indigo Kilim Leggings. I loved the impressionist flowers on the dark fabric and the purple/orange combination.
This weeks Sketch was an interesting one. I did take a few liberties with it, but think the basic essence is still there. Thank you Pat, for bringing it to us. I changed it from an A2 card to a 6.25 square. The focus panel was turned on it's point to better fit my focal. I changed where I put my sentiment to the diagonal element and turned the oval to mirror the narrow rectangle.
Lynn Ward's Acey Ducey 'Bead Keeper' pocketbook is so detailed. The woman's hat is actually an owl with it's wings spread out. The embossing powder obscured it. I fussy cut the pocketbook.
The Emerson quote: Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not. What an important thought for all of us! I included a mirror to remember to smile.
Thank you, Stacy for a beautiful website of soft comfy things. And Pat, thank you for a sketch that exercised my brain! Happy weekend all...thanks for stopping by...

Seriously, I could look at your art for hours. All these amazing patterns, colors and shapes are masterfully placed and my eyes drink in all the marvelous details. I would even like to see your watermark permanently adhered.

Fabulous, Susan! Love the mix of patterns & your layout is terrific. Yep..catalogs. You know who else loves them? Lolo, my parrot. If you could see the massively chewed edges on the few I was saving. Aye yi yi!

So many dp's to look at, but I like the purple one best since it most resembles those pretty leggings, Susan! Thank you for mentioning her hat being an owl, I thought it was braided hair or something of the likes.

Those leggings are cool, Susan. I love your take on the sketch challenge with this and that quote on the slant is a keeper. Love your mix of those papers and adore how you use ribbon too. Thanks for the love on my recent card. It made my day!
