Then be sure to play along. Each of us on the design team will be picking our favorite who will be offered a chance to be a guest in an upcoming challenge.
It's occurring to me as I write that that I really should have done a celebration card, but this week's sketch was perfect for something I wanted to do and here it is.
So why is this perfect? We have had both adult sons living with us this summer as they are between jobs (or college to job) and living situations. You have to understand that we have already down-sized so it's been an interesting summer. But the oldest moved out last week!! He has moved far away to Michigan. He's still between jobs and living situations but he really needed the mental boost of heading where he wanted to end up. He's temporarily living with his girlfriend who is extremely appreciative of my cardmaking so I wanted to send a card to him but which appealed to his girlfriend! So I figured a cute critter, bright colors and a "thinking of you" would work.
The little fox is a charming little guy from Honey Bee Stamps Heart Hugs. There are two other critters that I am looking forward to using. I had the Memory Box Vertical Line Collage out a couple of days ago on this card and I thought it would be fun to create rainbow by turning it sideways and only cutting half way (then flipping it and cutting the other half, shortening it in the process).
I hope to see you celebrating with us!
