Oh Happy Day!

And what a happy day it is! I'm very happy to say my crafty mojo has returned and I'm back to crafting regularly and working on my blogs. I hope it had a nice vacation because I sure didn't, lol! I made this card for this week's sketch challenge here at Made Especially For You to get myself back in the game. :)

The challenge this week is to create a card inspired by this lovely sketch:

And here's my take:

The papers are from the DCWV 'All Dressed Up' mat stack and the twine, ribbon, and fabric flower are all from my stash. The 'Oh Happy Day' sentiment came in the Artiste bundle from Close To My Heart. In the second photo you can see the white swirls of the paper were glittered, so I created a similar effect around the entire white border of the card by creating my own glitter glue. I think I'll be featuring a tutorial on how to make a tutorial on one of our upcoming Thursday Craft 'n Chat segments. :)

This week's challenge is Meljen's Designs, and one lucky winner will receive four non-colored images of their choice from the store. Don't forget that all challengers have a chance to be in the top three!

Stop by the Weekly Challenge page to see what inspiration the design team has for you this week!

Have a great week!
