for you



I made this card using this week's sketch challenge (SC238).   A new sketch will be posted over at SCS tomorrow, so check this one out while you're waiting if you haven't already given it a try.  It's a fun one!!!

I sponged the edges of the Melon Mambo CS squares prior to stamping the image on them in Basic Gray.  I also popped them up with Stampin' Dimensionals and placed same-sized squares of Whisper White CS directly under them to add some dimension and a little more pop to the card.  This was a really fun sketch and I can see myself using it again.

My dad comes to town tomorrow so I will be busy getting my husband's car fixed with his help.  I have a few posts scheduled and will do my best to spread them out until we get back from our trip.  My dad's going to drive with me now when I drive down to my parents after the car issues are taken care of.  Thanks for checking in, I appreciate your kind thoughts and comments so much!!!  Take care!!!
