Retro Sketch #2 {with felt}

Happy Sunday!!  Today is the first day of Daylight Savings AND it's a beautiful day!!  I love Sunday!!  Awesome morning of Worship, a quick stop at Michael's for some paper =), a bit of outdoor play with the dogs and it's still light out at 5:45!!  What a treat to craft in natural light! 

This afternoon I made a Birthday card for my friend Janice.  She is a musician.  I found the cutest images over at The Stamp Fairy.  I used Lenny with his violin and music stand.  So cute!!  The sketch comes from the second Retro Sketch - I love this one.  I actually flipped it on it's side to make it work with Lenny.  The papers are both from Recollection.  behind Lenny is a piece of white felt attached with 4 tiny black brads.  The Ribbon Carousel Challenge challenge this week is... 'Cause we FELT like it. 

Now it's time to get supper ready...

Retro Sketch #1

While eating my most favorite salad for lunch today (parmesan crusted chicken over greens with onions, goat cheese, slivered almonds and a light honey mustard dressing - YUM) I happened upon a NEW sketch blog - the debut week - how fun is that!!  Retro Sketches - such a cool idea!  The DT's pull an "older" card from their stash and "remake" it  thus the "Retro Sketch".

I flipped the sketch and used papers from the Close to My Heart Sonoma pack.  The sentiment is from Verve - Nehemiah 3:17 stamped in Smokey Plum.  The card seemed a bit empty, so I added 3 pearls in opposite corners, top and bottom.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week crafting!!
