Good morning and I pray that you had a very blessed weekend. Today is another Cardabilities Sketch Challenge and as usual, it's a very fun sketch. I only have a few more sketches while being on this design team as my two terms served are coming to a close. I've loved being on this design team and will definitely continue to play in their challenges.
I used two brand new Papertrey Ink stamp sets from their February release and absolutely had to CASE Nichole Heady's card using Friendship Jar Spring Fillers for this challenge. I'm sure they'll have a Friendship Jar Summer Fillers to release in a month or so, which I'll be looking forward to, and that will complete the series of Friendship Jar seasons. I tweaked her card for the sketch challenge.
I think this sketch and card will definitely get you to think spring! I know it did me as I'm very ready for it! It's been a tough winter, even by Kentucky standards. I hope that you enjoy this and thank you so much for stopping by today. Don't forget to visit the blogs of the Cardabilities Design Team to see their interpretation of this sketch. May the Lord richly bless your day and Today's Treasure is 1 Corinthians 5:9-13. A picture of today's sketch will be under my card for you.

Cut the excess width so that the bottom of the scallops almost touch the bottom of the larger piece of designer paper. Adhere to the larger piece of designer paper and use sticky tape to adhere the brown ribbon to cover the seam where the two designer papers meet, then adhere to the card about 2/3 down from the top.
