This is my card for today's sketch challenge. This is my story!
1. I have pretty much pushed the limits to where I probably can't go any further with challenge requirements.
2. As of Monday, I probably am on a serious probation, being watched quite intently by several fellow SCSer's.
3. I feel I need to explain this card fully since these are the types of comments I am getting on my cards: (left by 88 keys on Monday)
hello...is this 911? yes, i'd like to report a felony. ....yes, unauthorized use of neon orange in a gray only zone. ...yes, i know the card is beautiful....yes, i know the story is hilarious......yes, i know there is a moon. but rules are rules. the challenge police are on their way? thank you so much. i'll be the faded redhead in the front yard wildly waving her arms and pointing to the perpetator's front door. if cindy answers, ask for gert. i'm sure she's the one you're after.
4. My card does follow the sketch.....it's just that the top panel is half cardstock and half acetate cuz I wanted to see the cute birthday cake in the background and I didn't dare make the top panel skinnier for fear of jailtime! It's flipped I know, it's so flipped, I don't even know the direction I flipped it!
5. The ribbon around that acetate panel is covering a bunch of holes I punched in the acetate cuz I was gonna put brads in there. Duh....on to Plan B cuz the brad legs showed through the acetate. Live and learn!
6. Hoping this explanation will keep me out of probation!
Thanks McStamper for these awesome images.

Cute chickens and that is about the way my cake will look soon! Maybe Rox will want to use your card for an example of a future sketch?? I am sure you were just helping her out. (grin)
