Julie over at Paper and Such Designs blog had a sketch challenge this week. Since I just go this Stampin' Up image, I decided to combined it with Deb's Last But Not Least challenge to create a card with a nautical theme A few pieces of Costco DP later and I was good to go :) I made a Sailor's Knot for the bottom and anchored it (no pun intended LOL!) with the jumbo brads (that was a tricky adventure, let me tell you!). Some twine up top and a star with the sentiment and I was done like dinner.
Our school is part of a district track meet today and I'm hoping the rain will hold off and my son does well in his event :) Always a long day, but so much fun to see all the kids competing individually and as a school. Last year we finished in the top three so we'll see how we fair this year.
