You Got This!

One of my son's teachers and a church friend recently learned that her breast cancer (which she had beaten!) has metastisized. :-(  When I found the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, I knew I needed to make a card that I hope will cheer her up! 

Here's Sketch 307:

Here's my take:

I hope this puts a bright spot in her day!

Papaw's Pumpkin

I hope you've had a great Saturday!  I finally had time over the past week or so to make some layouts in my craft room, so I thought I would share one with you tonight.  I found this sketch at Let's Get Sketchy:

I've had some "older" photos on my scrap desk for quite a while and decided I would use one to go along with this sketch.

The sketch didn't have a designated place for journaling, so I decided to do my journaling around the edges of the patterned paper pieces.
