I beat my record of most number of challenges in one card - good thing because I was behind on several of them.
I am going back and doing the Midnight Madness Sketches. This is the very first one. I figure if I go back and do all of them, I will have seriously learned something because they are the most wonderful sketches!
The Teapot Tuesday challenge was to do a boy's sport card with a focus on sweet Mark who is battling cancer right now. I have no boy's sports stuff (I only have girls), but I did have this sweet little boy fishing. I bought it on Ebay and can't even remember what company the image is from (I cheated and bought it already stamped). It isn't girly so surely I can come in the front door - I'm so late no one will notice anyway.
I used the colors from this week's color challenge too - the closest I had to Wild Wasabi, Cherry Cobbler, and Marina Mist (I ordered Cherry Cobbler but it hasn't come yet). These are great "boy" colors together. The color challenge is also supporting Mark (I love it when these two challenges team up together to encourage someone!).
I used the inspiration challenge to select some of my colors/papers - the inspiration site is Georgie Love and I selected this sweet bib:

Nutzi, if there is a 12 step program, I'll have to join you and Emzi. I'm certainly going through stamp w/drawal while away at camp (home for the w/e). No computer, no SCS challenges, no stamping - YIKES! Enroll me now!!!!!!
About your card.... it's just adorable and that sweet senti. Just precious.
