Good Morning! It feels weird to be blogging. I've been off the ole computer for most of the week. It's been nice to "unplug" and relax. I'd be lying if I'd say I was 100% unplugged. Thank God for my iPhone! LOL! I'm back today with a fun new sketch from Karen Giron. I just couldn't decide on what image to use and then when I decided to do a farewell to summer - my *favorite* BLD image - Lollipop Watermelon Girl was the natural choice.
As you can see (hopefully) I turned the sketch on it's side to make it work for how I envisioned my card. Love, love, love this fun paper from Echo Park called Hello Summer. Can you also tell how much I love these fishtails? All of the paper I used is from my June Key Ingredients Kit. Buttons are from my PTI stash and the sentiment is from AmyR's So Wordy available at All That Scraps.
Be sure to stop by and check out what the rest of the Sweet Sunday Sketch Crew created using Karen's fabby sketch!

Very good post. Made me realize I was totally wrong about this issue. I figure that one learns something new everyday.
