todays sketch challenge was definitely a challenge for me and circle nestabilites are on my short list for April!!! I finally decided to go with this awesome "A" from Stampers Anonymous,stamped in Tim Holtz walnut stain and embossed in clear...Basic Grey color me silly 'CREATE" paper. I had my university boy in mind, to send a word of encouragement at mid-semester. The fun new K&co paper group 'Urban Rhapsody' is filled with funky, modern images of which fills most of this card. I stamped the arygle set from Looks like Spring in Tim Holtz distress faded jeans...printed a recent pic of my son ( don't you just love what Photo Shop can do?) layered my panels, cut from the nestabilities rectangles slapped 'em down with my ATG and I was almost good to go! I used a pop top ring to hold the chartreuse twill tape and provide lift for the AND. Behind the Confidential tag I taped a fun ticket (what we call $20 bills)...my sons know to lift every flap, pull every tab of Moms' work...there's always a surprise!
So I have to thank you, Roxie for giving me food for thought...now if I just had that $20 back, I'd hit the DQ!

What a lucky kid you have to have such a wonderful and creative mom! I'm sure he'd like the $20 bucks all by itself, but he wouldn't be showing off the envelope it came in like I'll bet he does every one of your cards! So much fun here, so much to look at! TFS your wonderful creation!
