This is my card for today's sketch challenge. This is my story!
1. I loved this Basic Grey *Mellow* paper with the fun little images of children playing and flying kites.
2. This is the scene before the big Easter Egg hunt. The kids get sent off to fly a kite while Mom and Dad run around hiding eggs desparately trying to think of new hiding places.
3. While the kids are flying kites, they are wondering if Mom and Dad will find some new hiding places this year as they pretty much have all of their old favorite spots memorized from prior years!
4. Everybody is thinking, Woofey better not mess things up, find all the hard boiled eggs and eat them before anyone else can find any!
5. The little fence is made of of balsa wood. That stuff is like cutting through paper. I did use a stamp on this card!! The little bows on the kite string is a stamp! Whoo Hoo!
You can get this awesome paper at Embellish-it.com as well as all of the other beautiful Basic Grey papers. Here is a link:

Oh, oh, oh!
Let's go fly a kite
Up to the highest height!
Let's go fly a kite and send it soaring
Up through the atmosphere
Up where the air is clear
Let's go fly a kite!
You obviously made me think of this Mary Poppins song; such a wonderful memory from childhood. Awesome card, Cin!
