TAMARA'S SKETCH CHALLENGE

Happy Thursday everyone! I am back today with Tamara's sketch challenge and I have to say, for me, it was quite the challenge! The sketch is fabulous, I just could not find my mojo. But, I am hoping it will come back to me over the next few weeks or so, lol! I made today's sketch as a long birthday card for my oldest son who turned 20 this past Monday - can you believe that?! I am trying to figure out where the time went....I miss him terribly but know he has his own life now. I do hope he likes the card though, I tried hard for the more manly feel which is harder for me it seems! Make sure you stop by Tamara's site and check out the new DT members and all of their fabulous creations - they are a really talented bunch of gals! And, if you try the sketch, upload to the site so we can all check it out! I will be back tomorrow with the Stamp Something Challenge. Have a fabulous day!
