Sweet Sunday!

Tomorrow is my mother in law's birthday, so I had a choice...I could use a ready made card from my collection OR I could make one with Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 43 (which is what I chose to do).

So here's the sketch:


And here's my take on it:


Stamps: Verve Just For You
Paper: Bordering Blue, Rose Red, Tempting Turquoise, White
Ink: Bordering Blue, Rose Red, Tempting Turquoise, Versamark
Accessories: Dimensionals, White Ribbon, Nestabilities, Scallop Cutter

MrP will give it to his Mom tomorrow when they take her for birthday lunch. She's kept every card I've ever made for her (despite my best efforts to get her to recycle them!) and I hope she likes it.

I just realized that Wednesday is a Holiday and Friday was my regular scheduled day off, so I took Thursday off, as well....five whole days off! Hope that means I'll actually get something done around the house =)
