It's time for a new sketch at
Freshly Made Sketches!
I'm pretty sure that I use pennants/flags on every other card - maybe even more. But for some reason, I got it in my head that I wanted to use a word die on this card. I found this die in my die folder - and I don't even remember owning it - so it seemed like a good time to use it!
I tried making my own background with a rainbow of flowers and I tried a rainbow of hearts, but then I saw one of my favorite flower sets from the same company as the die - and then it came together quickly!!
Not too many words today. I'm actually writing this on Sunday morning as we are preparing to leave for a 550 mile drive for a college visit for my high school senior. We are driving to Creighton today, visiting tomorrow, driving back Tuesday. It's spring break so it would have been nice to extend the visit a little. But some clueless parents insisted that their son get a job - he just started and he's scheduled on Tuesday night. Thus - a very long drive in a very short period of time!
I hope to see you playing along - I absolutely love browsing the gallery each week!
