Hang In There

Good morning!  Happy Tuesday!  Hope your week is off to a great start!  I am trying to get caught up after a weekend away with limited internet access, but I seem only to be making baby steps!  I'll get there.  Anyway, I here to share the card I made for this week's Mo's Challenge #148, where the theme was friends. My card is also for Sketch Saturday #221 and Stamptacular Sunday #177 (let's hear it for the girls).

Here is SS-221:

Here is my card:


I started with SU Pool Party cardstock and layered the sketch panels with patterned papers from the My Mind's Eye Lost & Found Two Mabel 6x6 pad.   My "friends" image is There For You from Mo's Digital Pencil.  You can find it in Mo's store here.  I printed it on Copic X-Press It and colored with my Copics.  The sentiment is from Paulette at Create With TLC.  I stitched around the panels, then added some seam binding and a couple of buttons from my stash to finish my card.

Here is a close-up:


Thanks for stopping by!  I hope to be back with I few more things I'm trying to finish up.  I also want to come visit your blogs.  I've missed seeing all your wonderful creations!

Enjoy the rest of your day and hope to see you soon!

    Carla, your card is gorgeous. Love your DP with the beautifully colored image. It is terrible when you feel cut off from the internet world.

    Carla, Very pretty card with a fabulous sentiment. If I could I would steal this one from you for a close friend of mine that could really use this card this week. Love your coloring and stitching as well as your color combo. Enjoy your week.

    Fabulous Carla! I always get a chuckle when I see that once again we've picked the same sketches. My Mo card for tomorrows new challenge uses this sketch. Your coloring is beautiful and I adore that paper pad. Hugs and thanks for playing at Mo's this week!
