Have I mentioned that I love Paper Piecing? How about Hot Air Balloons? And Skipping Stones Design?????

Have I mentioned that I love all of those things super lots and lots? Hmmmm....well, just in case:

Hi, my name is Jingle and I love paper piecing, hot air balloons, and Skipping Stones Design.

There. Now you know. And knowing is half the battle!

(We won't mention that according to GI Joe, who made that phrase known, violence is the other half....just say'n.)



Ummm...yeah. I know. I LOVE that balloon and I LOVE that October Afternoon Paper!!! It is, of course, from the ever fabulous Uplifting set over at SSD. This is quickly becoming a favorite of mine! (Shh! Don't tell Healing Wings that I'm cheating! Just say'n. That could get ugly.) I love how pretty the sentiments are in this set, too! I framed the balloon image with fancy bracket thingies (yes, of COURSE that is what they are officially called!) from the beautiful and terribly useful Sentiment Frames set. I kinda love both of these sets.



The beautiful sketch was created by Kim Kesti. *Love* Just say'n.

AND...seriously, I know I say this a lot, but you HAVE to see what the other Stamp Tramps created! Seriously. There are some REALLY gorgeous cards in the line up this week, so totally check them out because I told you to and you do everything I tell you to do. HA!!! TOTALLY kidding....although, feel free to do so...I generally like it when you do what you are told. HAHAHA!!!

And it's HOMEWORK TIME!!!! Yup! It's homework time. Go get your adorable little self over to Skipping Stones Design, check out the sketch, make an awesome card (it doesn't even have to use SSD stamps!) and link it up on today's sketch Tuesday post for your chance to win some free stampage! It's a win-win-win kinda deal, here, folks! I get to see your fabulous card, so I win. You get to give a fabulous card made by you, so YOU win. The person you give it to gets a beautiful handmade card from you, so they win, and...if you happen to WIN win you get free stamps, too! That's a lot of wins and stuff, so seriously...you should just do it. Now go get all Nike and stuff. (HA!...get it...'just do it'....nike....*fizzle*fizzle*crash*burn*)

Well, anyway, have a super fantabulous Tuesday! And really....I would so LOVE for you to play along with us!

Happy Jingle OUT!
