❦ I'm in the mood for color! The sketch challenge (SC389) at Splitcoaststampers provided an opportunity to show you some southwestern color and scenes I love. I've used some of our (mine and my husband's) photographs for inspiration today. Come visit Arizona, it's fiesta time!

❦ I've used designer paper from We R Memory Keepers (Fiesta) to set the stage for my theme today. Isn't it pretty? It reminds me of a Mexican serape' and I thought it would be prefect as a background for the flourish leafy vine that represents our beautiful bougainvillea and native american pottery. For any cowboy's or cowgirl's out there, how bout that sliver belt buckle in the top left corner. Now all that's left is a tall glass of southern sweet tea, chips and salsa - whoo-hoo!

❦ The photographs I've included today are from some of our travels around the state of Arizona and California (San Diego). North, south, east, west or even our own back patio, the beauty of the southwest never fails to inspire me.
