Caardvarks & MFT Weekly Stamp Club

Today was a day I just HAD to get into my 'Craft Cave'. Ever have a day like that? I had started a project and just needed to get in there to finish it. I thought that the summer would have afforded me more time to 'play', but that has really not been the case. There is always something to do, and we have really relaxed on some summer learning. That, of course, makes me feel like a slacker, but we are anticipating our new curriculum to get to the house soon. After all, August is around the corner. I don't know that I'm ready for it.

I made this card for 2 challenges. The Weekly Stamp Club over at MFT, was a sketch. The ladies over there have really provided some lovely eye candy. The other challenge was a Birthday card challenge from over at Caardvarks. I've participated a couple of times over there. . .always a good challenge. The set I used is called Fred Bear and the Butterfly from MFT. I love Fred Bear, and my son gave me a great idea for a great card so if I have time I'll make it and show you. The paper is from my bff, Christi. We try to keep each other well stocked on goodies.
