Enjoying today

Today I woke up with a bit of a sore throat.... gives me a sexy voice for Father's day lol  I don't understand how that happen, I was fine last night and enjoyed the afternoon and evening with our family (dad, brother, sil and the twins (so so so gorgeous babies!)).  Anyway... it is what it is.  


So I decided to get ahead with my DT work... trying to make cards ahead so that I can enjoy my 2 weeks vacation coming up.  Plus might go next weekend to my MIL's house so the cards need to be done in time.


I saw a challenge at Mayzy Arts.  It was Black!  There's a few of her wonderful images that I have not yet used up.  One of them coming from the Outlaws.  It's a freebie!  And soooo cute.  I thought it would be wonderful for this theme.  Plus I didn't enter Sketch Saturday this week... so I really wanted to do so this week.

I did all kinds of stuff for this card.  The grey and black at the top is a ribbon that I purchased at Ribbon Carousel it's part of a pack from Be you trim yard by Fancy pants.  I used a cuttlebug embossing folder on the black.  I put white buttons on top of some black ones.  And the paper is from DCWV - the immortal love (it's the shiny paper under the digi and the sentiment).  The polka dot one is from Me& My big ideas as is the chipboard die cut embellishment.  The sentiment was a freebie at TLC (what a wonderful wonderful site).  The beautiful girl is from Mayzy art.  

I followed this sketch:

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:

1. Mayzy art - black
2. Sketch Saturday - sketch
3. Craft your days away - bingo (buttons, ribbon, die cuts)
4. Dis digi designs challenge - spotty and dotty (spotty paper and I think my buttons look pretty dotty ;) )

So I hope that you have liked my card.  I would like to say a BIG hello to my 2 new followers!!!  Just loooove seing new faces.
