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!

Another cool card that took much reading and examination!! It is fabulous!!! What a handsome dude you've got there.. at my house, we don't have the fun ticket - but rather a handshake ( in which I hand over 20.00 in my hand to our oldest son's hand ) - but he only lives a mile from us..
What a fun card - and I'll bet those kids of yours are most eager for the cards!! Great idea.. I just put out $$$ for our younger sons grade 12 grad pix...it's a good life, isn't it!!
