BEATE'S SKETCH CHALLENGE....AND BLOG CANDY!!!

Happy Tuesday!!! WOW! It has been raining here for five straight days and although we badly need the rain, I wish it wasn't coming all at once!!! I am really hoping to see the sun today! But, I digress....I was so excited when I saw Beate had posted another sketch challenge, I have really missed doing these!! So, of course I made sure I had time for this one!! It's a fun sketch, made with a long card - haven't done one of those in awhile! I used my new stamp set Cheep Talk, I just love those little birdies!! And, I finally broke out my new corduroy brads - they are totally scrummy, I love them!! I have to have them in every color...no, really, I do, LOL! I really had fun with this one, there was soooo much you can do with it - it went into my favorites folder to pull out again for another card. Thanks Beate, for another great sketch!
