Showdown

There are so many fun challenges this month and I hope I have time to get to them all. Today I have a card for the 1st Annual 2 Sketches 4 You Ultimate Card Showdown, phew, that's a mouth full :) I first found the 2 sketches blog because I noticed that they were from Colorado (like me) and thought I would check them out. I LOVE Laura and Kazan's sketches, they leave so much room for interpretation! I don't know why I don't play more often, well yeah I do. I'm going back to school, dealing with kids home for the summer, sick kids and me sick too, there isn't always time to play :( Sad I know! I've been anxiously anticipating this challenge though as I'm sure so many of you have. Want to see my card? I'm super pumped about how this turned out. I love every inch of it and was kind of bummed when I was finished with it. I had a blast making it and I felt really creative doing it. I guess I needed some play time in my craft room, I've been missing that lately :)
Make sure you head on over to the {2S4U Blog} and check out all the details. There are MEGA prizes involved and it should be a challenge like no other!
Thanks for stopping by!
