Over the weekend I finally took my own advice. I spend a few hours each day first thing in the morning before anyone woke up in my craft room. I had a couple projects to work on because they are time sensitive. Besides discipline is supposed to be my forté right!? I haven’t been in the military for 24 years for nothing.
When I share my love for paper crafts I often hear, “oh, I’m not crafty”. Oh boy, those words are music to my ears because I become determined to show them that their definition of not being crafty is not in the standard stampers vocabulary… HA!

An extremely talented fellow demonstrator & friend, Bring King joined the Fab Friday design team and I have decided to enter this weeks card sketch challenge in his honor. I hope he doesn’t deny my friendship because if he does then I’ll have to send him an envelope full of glitter… LOL.
Lesson to Be Learned: I’m not an expert when it comes to color, heck, I can barely dress myself with my inability to color coordinate. Thank goodness I wear a uniform during the week… LOL. I do have a secret weapon though… my Color Coach! It helps me with color coordination without having to “think” about what color will match my card stock. Our own Designer Series Paper is marked with all the coordinating card stock right on the packaging.

To make the background on the sentiment I simply stamped a piece of Whisper White cardstock with a clear block using Smoky Slate ink. The sentiment was embossed with black embossing powder.
