ABC Friday ~ Coaster Box…
Happy Friday Y’all! It’s been a fun week! I am now working out at a new gym, as we had an “incident” at the childcare center of 24 Hour Fitness last Friday. Ellie is okay, but there is no way in -you know what- that I am ever setting foot inside another 24 Hour Fitness again. I would tell the story here, but let’s just say that I have signed away my right to do that.
I got my comp issue of Take Ten in the mail this week. YAY! I have 6 cards in there. I am expecting my issue of Cards Magazine anytime, too. This will be my first Cards Magazine publication. As I noted in a previous post, I will be concentrating a lot on publications both with the stamp companies I work with, and of course the ones that I just love! Crossing my fingers as I go in this direction.
Well, being that today is Friday I have an ABC project for you. I’m kind of cheating a little this week, because this is my project for the Verve Project Parade, which you may have already seen. If you are not familiar with the parade, you can check it out HERE on the Verve Stamps blog. Each month (except next month, because we are resting our stamping hands) Verve has a Project Parade using the stamps that were released that month. In a nutshell, it is a parade of ideas of what else you can do with your stamps. Here is the coaster box {<--link to directions} that I made for the parade...

See ya here tomorrow for another Sketch For You To Try!
