I finally decided to jump in and try the Verve sketch this week after seeing Marisa Ritzen (whitrockmama) make the most gorgeous cards using these sketches. I have three Verve stamps so I pulled them out, and I was so happy to see this wonderful "Cast" All Your Cares on Him stamp because it worked perfectly with the worm/fishing image I wanted to use for this week's teaparty. Yea - I love when things all come together.
This week's teaparty involves a trout named JJ who swallows a ball and his stripes reallign and he looks like a referee....well, that is the short version anyway. I have very little black and white paper so mine doesn't look quite like a referee, but it has to do. I think I qualify for the front door, but I am going in the back because that is where the good cookies are!
This week's destination station is the husband of one of my favorite friends so I am soo excited. Poor Chip #Karen's aka Redbugdriver's husband# is doing tons of PT after a difficult surgery and he has to stay at the PT facility away from Karen. I hope he likes pink since I just realized my card has a pink base and frame - Karen, just tell him it is faded red.
PT - 3

Awww, Nancy, this is so stinking cute!!! What a funny card to make Chip's day!! He can surely use a cheering up - especially since Karen can't be with him all the time at the rehab center, so that should spur him on to work on the rehab to get home soon!
This Verve Scripture is PERFECT for the befuddled look on the worm's face - love the way you put your layers on the scalloped circle to mimic the sky and water with the bobber in its out of the box, errr, I mean circle, position. Nice work on the paper piercing too!!
LYMI!

Perfect card for Karen's DH. Fun and a wonderful verse at the same time. Nancy, you seem to know a lot about that back door....hmmm
I've forgotten what gets a person in the back door..is it lateness? Anyway, those cookies must be very tasty.
