BEATE'S SKETCH CHALLENGE - LOTS OF FLOWERS

Hi all! I hope you are enjoying your weekend - mine has been fabulous so far!! Tony and I are getting to spend some great quality time together, and I am lovin' every minute of it!! Since he is gone all week, I really treasure the moments I get with him now! He really spoiled me yesterday too - nice dinner, bought me my new movie (Twilight), took me to a HUGE scrapbook store that I just had a great time in, AND brought me coffee in bed. Not sure what I did to deserve all this, but I sure am enjoying it!!:-) So, on to my card - this is the one I did for Beate's Sketch Challenge this week. The sketch was actually done by Cami and I absolutely LOVE it - it is now in my faves file and I will be using it again for sure!! I used the new dp from the upcoming spring mini called Walk in the Park - I just love the spring feel to this paper!! And, I thought an embosslit would be perfect for this one because I really wanted to use one of my new Going Gray button brads also in the Spring mini. I was quite pleased with how this one turned out - I hope you all like it too!! I plan on spending most of the afternoon in my stamp room since Tony has to head back today rather than tomorrow for some training seminar all week. Enjoy the rest of your weekend and thanks for much for stopping by!
