Viva La Verve Sketch Challenge

 I ran across this sketch challenge and thought I would play along.  I am on a roll this week with my posts.  It must be my will to improve my blog for Blogtober.  I hope I can keep it up even after October has past.

My goal is also to dindle down my stash of old paper.  That has been my New Year's Resolution that I think I have done pretty good with.  Makes me feel pretty darn great to use things up.  That way...I can fill up my stash again with newer Close To My Heart goodies! :)
Normally, I don't finish the inside ofa

card, but this one just needed the extra embellishment.  I simple and sweet card.  Adding this one to my pile of Birthday cards for the teachers at my son's school.
