Sketch Card #69

Today I took some time to tidy up my crafty things...finally...what a relief!  I also decided to have a go at Heather Scott's Monday Sketch Challenge.   Gotta say that I love the sketch this week!  To make this card, I used TAC's new "Graphic Blooms" set paired with an old favorite, "Artsy Elements".  The sentiment is from the "Ordinary Greetings" set.  

I didn't keep track of the inks that I used; there were so many!  I cut out all my flowers and bent the petals to give a 3D effect.  One flower is popped up using Pop-Dots and also features a Shimmer Brad.  Love this little touch of bling!   

Tomorrow I go back to the Dr. for a 6 week post-op check-up and x-rays.  Hopefully, I will be able to get back to most of my normal activities really soon.  I want to thank Barb, Laurie, and Sarah for their get well cards.  Thank you, ladies; this was so thoughtful & definitely brightened my spirits!  

Since I've had some time on my hands while recovering from surgery, I've been reading.  I love to read, but I typically don't have the time.  One of my friends suggested the Twilight books. OK, have you read them?  I am totally hooked now.  Yes, I've read all 4 books and own the movie on DVD.  Yeah, they are a little far-fetched, but the love story is great.  Can't wait until the New Moon movie comes out next fall!  Most of my friends have been laughing at me reading these 'young adult' books, but I saw a 40+ something lady at Wal-Mart the other day sporting a Twilight t-shirt.  So, I feel a little better & btw--I haven't bought a t-shirt...yet!
