Hey all! It's Saturday....already! The weeks are flying by! We have already been out of school for about 3 weeks and we are plugging along. This last week was soccer and tennis camp and next week starts T-ball. The first day of school is going to be here in a flash at this rate.
So today I have a new card for Retro Sketches and then a little news to share.
I used the banner die from CSS to make the focal point. I added in some wood buttons and twine and then a sentiment from PTI's Mini Blooms.
Here is this week's sketch...
I hope you can play along! Stop over to the RS blog to see what the other girls have made up for today!

So the month of June marks 6 years of blogging for me. I've decided it's time for a break. June is going to be crazy with ball games and insane schedules so I'm thinking it's time to shut the door on this room for a little while. I do have some fun stuff coming up in July, so I'll be back! I hope you will come back and visit soon! Thank you all for your visits and comments. I really appreciate all the blogging friends I have made! So many of you I am honored to call friends!
Hope you all have a great Memorial day weekend! I will see you soon!
Laurie, I love your take on the sketch! Have an awesome Memorial weekend. I will miss your crafty inspiration, but enjoy your little break! Hugs!
