I needed to make a card for my police department to let them know that they are appreciated. I'm horrified at how all the good cops are being treated right now across the country and I want my police to feel supported. Today's sketch was perfect for my card because I could include these blue and black stripes. Gerda Steiner Designs offered this freebie recently, and I just love it. I only wish the words were bigger. "Stop, you need to know how much we appreciate you!" I colored the bear to look like a police officer directing traffic. So the bear and the Stop sign are elements 4 and 5. I used the sun stamp for the first time for the other circle. I will bring it to the police station today with some pizza.

You are so kind and thoughtful, Jen! The police officers who put their lives on the line to protect us and our rights need to be uplifted at this time and your thoughtful and adorable card (and pizza) will be much appreciated! Thanks so much for using the sketch today to bring joy to others!

This is a wonderful use of the sketch and a card that we all really need to send to all those who do so much good. There unfortunately are bad apples in every basket. Great Card. You have inspired me.
