Now....I wouldn't say this was a card for the challenge police....I would say instead that this is a 4th or 5th version of the sketch....one in which the outer border had a life of its own and grew wider than it should have.......however...here is the real story.....
I saw the sketch and said....don't need to print this one out...I can remember this.....went down two flights of stairs to the stamp cave......made my card.....came up......took a look at the samples and Roxie's card.....(after being distracted by that beautiful new granddaughter's picture....congrats again, Rox)...noticed a difference.....somehow I created a wider outer border.....but...oh well...otherwise it is A-ok to the sketch.....
I'll do better next time. Thanks for looking and understanding (once again)!!!

You crack me up!! You are much too hard on yourself girlfriend, your card is GORGEOUS as they usually are and you need not be so fearful of the the challenge police because everything you create is beautiful and don't let anyone tell you otherwise not even pesky challenge police! I love everything about this, the paper piercing, the colors, the image, it's just perfect as can be!!! Tfs!!!

Joanne I knew this was your card immediately - the perfect piercing, the black, white and red and the silhouette of the children! This is totally awesome!
