Sorry, my squares ended up a little big for the sketch today. I needed to make a birthday card for my best friend, Dave, and I had an idea to make it like pictures of us growing up by using the SU stick figures stamp set. But the "older" version of us needed to big a square. I think they look a lot like us. LOL! I gave little Dave green hair, because he used to dye his hair crazy colors in high school. I liked the green the best. I thought this sentiment would go well with our friendship and sponged a bit of Antique Linen using my Tim Holtz Grunge stencil to make the pictures look a little old. And added some arrow stickers around the card to try to point to which one of us is the bad influence. I found this paper that I had spread a bunch of leftover paint on and used it for the background. I've been trying really hard to use the stuff in my scrap basket more often.

This is quintessentially cute, Jenn! The images so sweetly speak of your long time friendship and that painted bg scrap is just ideal for the images. Love this card!

Simply successful! One of the advantages of making cards is to be able to customize them! I like the sentiment on the front... it describes your friendship so well. I like the impression of childish drawings for this long-standing friendship.
