Happy Tuesday everyone!!! I hope it is sunny where you are. It sure is here. I am so loving it after two weeks on constant clouds and rain. The rain certainly made me appreciate the good weather that much more!

Today is not just Tuesday!! it is Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge day!! Time for another sketch!! There were so many awesome designs last week!!! I so enjoyed surfing the blogs and SC for these gorgeous creations. For those of you who were baffled by last week's sketch, this weeks sketch may be the one for you, a little less intricate.



Each week we, the MM Design Team have been awarding a special badge award (above) to one person for their outstanding sketch submission. If you would like to be considered for this award, please make sure your card is linked to Mr Linky here by Sunday of each week.

AND NOW FOR THIS WEEK'S MMSC7 sketch......


For my card, I combined this sketch with the Roses on Paper Challenge and the Flutter By Challenge (to incorporate fairies or butterflies in your card). Their challenge was to use a challenge from another blog and incorporate flowers as well using a Sarah Kay, Magnolia or Greeting Farm stamp. What a fun Roses on Paper, Flutter By Wednesday Challenge and sketch. I used the Sarah Kay image called Rose's Garden for this card. The image was paper pieced and colored with copics. I have been seeing so many awesome creations with the My Minds Eye Bloom and Grow dp that I was extatic to see it in sale at a local craft store. I didn't even know they carried it let alone it was 50% off! What an awesome deal that was!

Card Recipe:
Stamps: Sarah Kay - Roses Garden
Paper: MME Bloom
Accessories: Ribbon Bowtique ribbon, Hero Arts pearls, Memory box colored rhinestones, Label 4 nesties, prima flowers, MS classic butterfly punch, sewing machine

Since I sometimes get more traffic to my blog on DT challenge days, I wanted to spread the news about a fundraiser for a very GREAT Cause. When I read my Flutter By Wednesday sister, Heather's blog, I had tears in my eyes reading about a little boy who was four, named Ethan Weiman, who just lost his battle to Neuroblastoma Cancer on June 12th. I applaud Pink Cat Studio's and Heather's Efforts to raise money for the Make a Wish Foundation in his honor!!! In the past I was a full time elementary teacher, before staying home with my kids, and I had a couple of students inflicted with cancer who benefited from Make A Wish. It is so sad to see them suffering and it is so worth it to see the glimmer in their eye when Make a Wish can grant one wish. Can you help make a wish come true for a child with little hope? My dt sister, Heather, and three others are giving away Free Pink Cat Studio Stamps and gift certificates for Participating in a Fund Raiser Pink Cat Studio is having for a GREAT Cause. Pink Cat Studio is selling digi-images. The proceeds will go to the Make A Wish Foundation in honor of Ethan. See Heather's Blog for details. I hope you too can help!! I thank God for the blessing he has given me to have 2 healthy girls as well as good health for my husband and I. What greater blessing can you receive?!!! My heart goes out to individuals and especially children who are inflicted with terminal illnesses.
