Life is Good

 I saw this sketch over at Card Patterns and had to sit right down to make a card.  It's just such a fun sketch!

That curve is just so much fun, right?  As you can see, I used the sketch pretty much the way it is drawn.

The papers are Echo Park's Little Boy, and the twine is from Really Reasonable Ribbon.  That sentiment stamp (which I LOVE) is from the CTMH Treetops stamp.  I added just a little bling around the sun to give it some shine.  Be sure to go over to Practical Scrappers on Wednesday because we will be showcasing cards and layouts using the sun.

This card wll work for several other challenges:
Create Blog (CARDS) - summer cards with waves
Come and Get It - Father's Day
Creative Inspirations - Father's Day
Crafty Hos - Summer - Let the Fun Begin!
Paper Cutz - beach or travel

follow your dreams

I am finally spending some much needed time in my craft room!  Shane is moving out tomorrow, and today I ran some errands to pick up those last minute needs for his apartment.  Last night he told me that he would miss our Brita water container in the fridge, so of course, I went out to buy him a Brita pitcher.  And I think I've got him stocked up on groceries for a bit.  All I can say is I am Mom, and this is what I do!

All right, down to business.  Have you been over to Operation Write Home Stars and Stamps?  They have an awesome blog hop going on right now, and I know that you will enjoy it.  They are also doing a call for cards, and you can find more information by clicking on the red, white, and blue button on my right sidebar.  This card I made today is using their weekly sketch.  I've made it clean and simple for the Secret Crafter challenge and added twine for Crafty Ho's.  I'll be using this for a graduation card.  It's masculine as is, but I was thinking that if I added a flower to the bicycle, it would work for a girl, too.

Items used: Crate Restoration; RRR twine; CTMH You & Me stamp set (available HERE only through Tuesday!)
