For A Great Friend -Sketch Saturday Challenge #196 -Sponsored By The Craft Barn!!


New weekend, new sketch! Yay!!
Keeping it short today as I haven't been feeling too good. I haven't really been online much this past week or even Facebook...which is a big thing for me, lol! Started a new diet last week and my tummy has just not been feeling too well...plus I have the case of the grumps. My mojo runs away when I'm irritable...lol!! Think I just need some chocolate and it will come back!

Hopefully I and the Saturday Girls can inspire you to all play along with Jo's fab sketch this week!


The Sketch:


We are sponsored by "The Craft Barn" this week!


As always, this weeks challenge winner will receive a generous prize from The Craft Barn!


Kinda stepped out of my comfort zone with my card this week...hubby says my card looks goth! I don't think it looks goth...I thought it turned out cute??? Think it may just be all the black I added...lol.


The super gorgeous image is from "Saturated Canary" and can be found HERE! Krista has the most beautiful digi stamps to play with...I'm becoming hooked as I have been coloring up a lot of her images while I haven't been feeling good this week!

More views...I heat embossed the sentiment with sparkly kaleidoscope embossing powder! Don't like the way my bow turned out...so I covered it up with a brad, flowers and a butterfly charm...lol.
