W(h)ine...it's a good thing!

I actually think "wine" is better than "whine", but like many others, I fall into the "listen to me whine, please" trap for which I'm so thankful for good girlfriends--they're the best listeners! I don't have too much to whine about this week: I'm still employed, my family is healthy and relatively happy, and the big guy up there is always lookin' out for me! What more can a girl ask for, right?! Enough about me, on to this week's SFYTT which does, in fact, have something to do with my chatter!

I chose to use a great set from Our Craft Lounge--Going Gourmet for today's sketch. The wine bottle/glass/cork image is repeatedly stamped on three Kraft 1 3/8" circles with a paper pieced napkin on each. The fourth circle of the sketch was reserved for the sentiment: Thanks for listening to me whine, thus the chatter in paragraph numero uno. This beautiful paper is Crate Paper's Birdie Collection, just about as yummy as a good bottle of wine I tell ya! Two buttons highlight the upper horizontal strip, each tied with linen thread and bright orange taffeta ribbon finishes off the bottom horizontal strip from Jen's sketch.

Come out and play along with today's SFYTT, and be sure to check out more inspiration from the rest of the girls:

Have a great weekend!

Anna Mae!

Isn't she adorable?! She is Anna Mae, a fun new girlie with lots of interchangeable parts available from Our Craft Lounge. Be sure check out Anna Mae and the rest of their sweet new stamps by clicking right here.

I paired her with a piece of Scenic Route Sonoma Collection paper on top of a Regal Rose base. Anna Mae is watercolored with reinkers and an aquapainter and layered on Regal Rose and Old Olive cardstock. Ribbon from TayloredExpressions adds a little polka dot fun and a Heidi Grace stick pink secures the tagged Happy Birthday sentiment.

Thanks for stopping in today!
