CTS #98

Happy Thursday everyone!  This is my second post for today (isn't that an odd occurrence on my blog?  Ha!).  If you are looking for my Lil' Inker Designs Day 2 release post, it's right below this one or you can click here to head straight there.  ;)

Today is a great day all around for me.  I got to share some of my favorite cards in my Lil' Inker post, I get to share the CAS(E) this Sketch challenge with you which includes a card of mine that I'm sort of in love with, AND my dad comes home today!  I am so thrilled that he's on his way home and we have the whole place all ready for him.  I keep reminding him that he's got over 4 weeks down in the wheelchair so he's over half way to being able to put some weight on his legs.  I know being home will make the time go much faster and lift his spirits.  I will be glad when all of this is just a distant memory and he's chasing the grand kids around the yard pretending to be a zombie.

I suppose you are here to see the new sketch over at CAS(E) this Sketch, right?  ;)  Here it is:

 
I LOVE THIS SKETCH!  In fact, I've already made another card using it but I have to wait until I get home to Iowa on Sunday so I can photograph it.  Don't worry, you'll see it before this challenge closes.  Here's the card I made using the sketch for the week:

I made this card during my crafty weekend with some AMAZING ladies.  It was so fun to get to see and use everyone's' crafty goodies and when I saw this hello die from Mama Elephant, I knew I was using it and probably buying it.  Ha ha!  I cut it out of cork and for some reason when I use cork, I almost always go with a yellow and mint color combo.  I just love them together.  My papers are from a Studio Calico card kit and I added a little banner of vellum too for a little extra fun.  I didn't bring any bling with me to the get together so I used some Stickles that I had to make my own bling.  I think I like them on this card more than I would have liked enamel dots or anything else.  Funny how that works out.  ;)

I hope you enjoyed my card and will join us this week at CAS(E) this Sketch.  We'd love to have you!  I'm off to make a little banner for my dad's homecoming!  Have a great day!
