Hi all! I am sorry I missed posting yesterday, but the day got away from me! Tony called me during my crop on Friday and announced he had invited his mom and dad for dinner on Saturday - not a big deal except by Saturday morning it had become mom, dad, both sisters and their families - sheesh!! Needless to say I was running around with my hair on fire trying to get ready! Men!!! It was fun, but I was bone tired by the time they left at nine last night! That is the first time in months I have been in bed before 10pm - LOL! So, I will share the card I did for Beate's weekend sketch challenge although I did change the sketch a little. I made a larger square card and I flipped the smaller square on the card sideways instead of longways. I hope it still counts!! I also did the inside of this card because I am sending it to someone who just got out of the hospital. I will leave the full
