CTS #130

Good morning, you guys!  We have had another fun and busy week.  I picked one boy up at camp yesterday and he had a blast.  I was SO relieved because he's never successfully spent the night anywhere before but was desperate to go to bible camp.  Turns out, he survived just fine.  Ha ha!  He had a great time and keeps sharing new stories of his adventures.  With a crew like this, how could you not have a blast? 


I'm getting boy #1 ready to go to STEM camp this Sunday.  He's just itching to get his hands on some robots.  Ha ha!  I think we have officially reached the ages where I must embrace my role as chauffeur.  ;)  Good thing I have such handsome clients. 

I guess I should get to the point of this post and share my CAS(E) this Sketch challenge with you guys.  Ha ha!  I must say, this sketch is one of my favorites that we have done.  Make sure you check the sketch out at CAS(E) this Sketch.  Here's my take:


I had a ton of fun with patterns on this card.  I started off with a base of this fun green take on a chevron pattern.  I cut a cork polka dot patterned paper with a die from Lil' Inker Designs Border Builders to layer over the top.  Next I cut my Hello Word Die from the Dip Dyed Ombr̩e Paper Pad.  I knew it needed a little something more so I took some adorable flowers cut using the Perky Posies Die Set and various pattern papers and arranged them with enamel dots around my hello.  Super cute!

I hope you enjoyed my take on the challenge this week and I can't wait to see what you create.  I'll see you over at CAS(E) this Sketch.  Here are the products I used today:
