I’m going to get out the owner’s manual on my camera. I have been having a rough time with the pictures. I get where I want to be, click and the camera won’t take the picture. Seems like I am too close (or something). I promise the glitter doesn’t look as tacky IRL! LOL!

So ~ here is my take on Beate’s Sketch this morning. I love the circle off the side. It’s a perfect accent for a 4.25″ square card. I could chop the edges of the flower of, but it will still fit in a regular card envelope this way…I think I’ll leave it! Lots of errands and such ~ so I’ll let you keep blog hoppin’! While you are at it, check out Charmaine, Sharon and Jenn. See what they thought of Beate’s Sketch today! Thanks for stopping by!
