Friday challenge...sketch



Well today's challenge at notimetostamp is a sketch challenge done by the sweet Jennifer Buck. I love sketch challenges because it makes it so easy on you and of course you also get the idea for future layouts. Not layouts like sunbathing types but card types in case you didn't know that. I used my Flourishes Gerber Daisy set and picked out the small bunch to fit in my cute Nestie rectangle ( not wreck tangled)set to stamp and set it up for a nice presentation. Just used my colored pencils and not much work to it at all. Added some ribbon and a bit of bling and the word "friend" which is from Flourishes tag alongs. Easy peasy card.
As I sit here typing I'm actually ready for a heart attack...I'm spooked out as there is definetly something in my house making all sorts of sounds. Yikes! I called our animal control department and she said they'll call back. I'm like wetting my pants with fear and they'll call back??? I think it's a raccoon but don't know how the hells bells it could have gotten in. Whatever it is, I hear racing and jumping and that's not my heart but the "whatever". They better send someone before it's night time or I will have to go somewhere else to sleep as it's upstairs and that's where my bedrooms are.
Well I had a great birthday all the way through. We had a "Girl's night Out" and I don't mean the kind that you go without a bra but the kind you actually go out and have fun. Great day! Happy weekend one and all and that means the whatever up in my second floor. Get out of there and have your own party cause you're not invited here. See you next week.

absolutely gorgeous card!

about 2 summers ago, we had a racoon under our house AND she had babies!!! we're in a modular home (on a slab) and the noise it made was like someone trying to break in. the darn thing ate thru the bottom of the house to get it too! we finally put out a trap and had someone extend the slab under the house. never caught it, but it never came back either. whew! sooooooooooooooo, i feel your pain and the palpitations in your heart. it WILL be over soon!

keep us (me) posted, please!

Your card is easy peasy PURTY!! I love how you lightly colored the flowers and the ribbon looks great with the deckled edge rectangle.
I hope by the time you read this, your critter invasion has been taken care of! I'd be skeered too!!
