missing you

I really REALLY like 365 Cards Day 328 Sketch but when I went to put all my pieces together, they just made more sense to me to be moved around a bit... what can I say, I'm bad at following instructions... when people talk about thinking outside the box, I can't even FIND the box; it's true, ask my kids.  I also combined it with Tip Top Tuesday's Challenge #115... use Kraft

So here's what I came up with.... and I like it!

Printed Papers - My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Breeze

Cardstock - DieCutWithAView

Ribbon (isn't it pretty?!) from the Robert Stanley Collection (aka Hobby Lobby)

Ink Dots - Smooch Ocean Soul

Pick Your Plum Sentiments

I got these great sentiments from Pick Your Plum and I challenged a group of my friends to use at least one to create a card, there were 8 on a sheet so I went thru & found papers to match as many of them as I could, which was 6. Next I set off flipping thru current card sketches until I found one that would work.

Thinking about you Today...

really I'm thinking of a lot of things... like the fact that even though it's Saturday I really should be working, but I'm not, I'll pay the price on Monday for slacking today or actually Tuesday because Monday is full of kid stuff for the end of the school year, oh say a Band concert for both my boys!

One Additional Piece of Cardstock (any size)

4 Stickers

4 Buttons

The hardest part for me was finding a 4.25"x5.25" pre-cut card, I knew I had some somewhere but it took a bit of digging.  Second was stickers... stickers just aren't my thing.  But I like what I ended up with!
