Hi! Today I'm joining along with the PTI 11th Anniversary celebration Day 1: sketch challenge. I was inspired by the sketch shown below presented by Dawn McVey:

I made a Valentine's Day card for my dear husband:

I stamped a variety of pretty roses and foliage from the PTI The Sweet Life stamp set. I tucked in several sprigs of PTI Fancy Foliage Details:

I'm also joining along with the Paper Players Theme Challenge:

Up next is a 12" x 12" oil painting featuring a scene featuring pretty aspen trees and was inspired by Bill Inman. I'm entering this painting in the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge~Day 4:

I'm also linking my painting to this week's Paint Party Friday site:

Thanks so much for stopping by!
Be Sweet ;)
