Happy Friday Everyone!!
I'm SUPER excited about today's post. Why may you ask? Well it's my first "official" post as part of Taylor's Sketch Crew!! I hope you will play along with us!
Just take a look at this baby. Soooo fun!
I turned the sketch and added waves & sand for the scallops. Look at me thinkin' outside the box. LOL! I love yellow & orange for summer colors when making cards. I used a single piece of patterned paper to add some background for my card. It's a really old one too from Flair Designs. I've been hoarding it for awhile now. Cuppie is soaking up some rays from the faux sun I made her. I used my big scalloped ovals nesties for my sun and pierced the border for some texture. And of course I had to use my glaze black pen for Cuppie's shades.
What do you have to do to play along? Check out the details on Taylor's blog or the TE forum on SCS.

So excited to have you on the sketch crew! I love your super creative take on this sketch - WOW!! It really looks like it was a blast to create this card!
I super love the other one you put up in the forum too. I have those papers and I don't even think I've used them yet.

Thanks for your kind words the other day. Still feeling like there is a HUGE rain cloud over my head but keep thinking that things will get better. I guess I don't do well with people who feel they are entitled to a life they obviously aren't deserving of (at least on the course they are on at the moment).
