Celebrate Today and Everyday *SFYTT*

I am on time! Can you believe it? I am on time!! I know it is a small achievement, but exciting nontheless! I sat down Friday afternoon to clean up my scary desk and finish up a project I have been working on. I was using this set, so I decided to use it for this week's SFYTT. I was extremely bold and decided to color my image BEFORE I picked my papers. I know that I am always spouting off about picking my papers first, but this time it actually worked out better. I don't think that I would have necessarily picked these particular papers to go together otherwise.

I did know that I wanted turquoise and pumpkin together, because I am kindof obsessed with that color combo this fall. I haven't had a chance to implement it into any paper crafts yet, so I took the opportunity. All of the papers are from K & Co. and are some of my favorites.

I die-cut my oval using nestabilites and colored the image using an assortment of Copic and Prismacolor markers. Once I was done, I took the image and held it up to all kinds of papers and finally settled on this combination. I also used some dies, buttons and felt to finish it off. Of course it also needed a bit of ribbon and stitching to really call it done.

I am excited to share some of my photos of the baby shower and some of the other projects that I have been working on, so stay tuned.

P.S. I hope you all get a chance to play along this week using this amazing sketch. I really had a fun time with it. We have a break from football this Saturday, which seems weird. We only have a few games left; that is unless we lose and then we are out of the play-offs. I am so proud of my son and the team this year. He has really grown a lot and improved a ton this year. Rowan is almost nine months old and I am wondering where the time has gone. Emma is really enjoying dance this year, since she has added Jazz into the mix. It makes for longer classes, but I think it is really good for her. Her reading is really improving, too. I can't believe that the Holidays are upon us and a new year will be here soon!!!!
