Welcome Carey as our new sketch challenge hostess. I love her curvy sketch for us. I thought this would be a perfect way to make a bunch of meal thank you notes in a jiffy and I had the perfect dp combo....ya gotta love dp that is designed to work together! I cut my 4 pieces of dp into 4x5 1/4" pieces and stacked them together. I used light pencil to trace out my curves and then cut through the stack together. I cut 4 pieces of white cs and then glued the mixed pieces of dp onto each one. I diecut my letters and then inlaid those into different pieces for 4 quick cards. I used Pool Party bases for each. I stamped my kitchen utensils after inking with markers.
Sorry to always be talking about my mom, but her cancer has become the center point of my life right now. Her cancer has taken another turn and she's now in palliative care after 2 new brain tumors were found. Hard to believe we're at this point but ready or not here we are. This was a quick way to make a bunch of thank you notes ahead as people are already asking about and taking meals and prepared foods over to my folks.

You created some really cool cards!! I love the way you've used the dp. The "THANKS" letters look awesome. How wonderful that you are still able to use the outlet of creating. My prayers are with you and your family.

I am so sorry to hear that your mom's cancer is progressing - difficult times for you and your family : (
Your thank you cards are perfect to send for food gifts - how thoughtful of you to be thinking of this. You used the perfect paper and images, which look great with today's sketch. I have some of that paper, too - saving your cards for inspiration.
