CTS #348

Good morning and happy Thursday!!  This is a super special week for me.  My oldest, the boy who made me a mom, is 16 tomorrow.  It seems like just yesterday that he was born, scaring the crap out of his dad and I.  I can't imagine life without this awesome kid.  He's such a joy to have around and I love that we can talk, laugh, and enjoy each others company.  Happy birthday, Isaac!!! I'm also a little excited that he gets his normal license today so he can drive to work and not just school. Woo hoo!

The other boys are healing well from their tonsillectomies and I am slowly getting my sanity back after doing two at once. I'm still not sure if that was a brilliant idea or a brilliantly stupid one. Anyway, that's the crazy that is happening around here. I'll tell you what I need, a good sketch to relax and make a card with. Luckily, CAS(E) this Sketch has me covered and you can enjoy it too. Here's the card I created:

I had a ton of fun with this card. I started by inking up the bottom of my white card stock with distress inks. Just a quick note, Scrapbook.com has a deal going on right now that you get a free randomly selected distress ink with a $25 purchase using the code FREEINKPAD. Can't beat that! After I finished inking my card front, I stamped this awesome winter scene in black and added a sentiment from the set at the top. I trimmed down my card front and layered it on a black card base. Super simple but I love the wintery look. Here's a closer look:

Thanks so much for checking out my card today and for playing along with us at CAS(E) this Sketch. I hope to see you over there!
