TEND A GARDEN- CAARDVARK SKETCHFEST MONDAY

Here we are again....the second day of Caardvarks
Sketchfest. The is a simple sketch but was a fun one
to put together. I used DCWV paper for the base of
the card. And I used a paper by Paper Pizazz
(Blue Handmade Flowers) I used SU: Pastels along
with Su Ink: Chocolate Chip. The scalloped border
was made with Martha Stewart'sScalloped Punch.
I Used my Cricut machine (Storybook Cartridge)
to make the little moffit on the corner of the sentiment.
The finishing touch was the pale blue ribbon.

I sure hope everyone had a wonderful Labor day weekend.

We stayed home most of the time. I did go out for awhile on

Saturday in a wild rain storm. My grandson and I got soaked.

I just had to go to the Grand opening of our New Hobby Lobby.

I can't believe we actually have one now. Yippy!!!

I was so envious of Arlana having one in Utah. On Monday,

I had to go back out to the store and just take it all in again.

Wow, it is such a great craft store. It is only seven

and a half miles away.

Well, have a wonderful week and thanks for stopping by.

I love your comments!!!

Thanks, Nancy
