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!
