Have yourself a...

Merry Christmas!  (too soon???)  LOL!  Created this card to keep up with the fabuloso Hope You Can Cling To challenges going on at Splitcoaststampers...AND...to get myself one step closer to completing the Verve Stamps Release Week Sketches (sketch #4)  (it's been close to a year if not more since I tried getting all of their release week challenges done!).  The sketch was divine to work with!

Ok...one more card to get done for Verve...and about 4 behind at SCS...so off I go to get crafty!  By the way...if you haven't had the chance to yet...PLEASE check out the SCS Hope You Can Cling To challenges...all for a VERY worthy cause!  I speak from this as the child of man who lost his battle with colon cancer almost 12 years ago and as both a grandchild and a great grandchild of women who lost their battles to breast cancer...sometimes all you need in a day is a bright spot of joy...and a card can do just that!
