Next week marks my mother-in-law's 80th birthday and sometimes a cutsie card isn't the "right" card, if you know what I mean and thought this image was a tad more appropriate. I'm not sure if I've ever mentioned this before but I honestly believe that I have some of the best in-laws ever...they welcomed me into the family with open arms over 25 years ago, and I have blessed ever since.
A couple of weeks ago I noticed that Kim Yu was starting a monthly sketch challenge on her blog and thought I'd give it a try...I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do with it until I pulled out some K&Co Speciality DP and it all went together nicely. Along with Kim's sketch, there's another great challenge at the Kraft Journal this week and it's all about "fabulous finds" and I have to tell you that finding this gorgeous DP at the local Goodwill for a couple of dollars was a fab find!
Challenges:
Kim Yu: Sketch #1
The Kraft Journal: Fantastic Finds
Stamps:
Crafty Secrets: Sew Special
Cloud 9: Happy Birthday
