Super Scraps Saturday

It's the second Saturday of the month and that means Super Scraps Saturday at Hiding In My Craft Room.
It's also another special day because it's Laurie's Birthday!  

Laurie is the glue and mojo that holds our team together and I want to wish her a special 
HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

My card this week is what I actually sent Laurie in mail, (yes not just a digital image).  I saw this sketch this week and decided to give it a try with my scraps and extras laying around.

Laurie has many special prizes this week and be sure to visit our blog for all the details. (she's even giving away a special comments prize)
So, please hop on over to Hiding In My Craft Room and check things out.
Thanks for stopping by today and I wish everyone a Happy Mothers Day weekend.

The Outlawz Monday Greetings Challenge

This week, our theme is water or beach. With summer coming soon in USA, we'll be in the swimming pools very soon so this theme is to help us get in the mood for that summer water fun. Come on and enjoy the in the fun at The Outlawz

This weeks Sponsor

 My image this week might not follow the theme exactly.  I work several weeks to months in advance and make image selections to go with our theme.  Well, I don't know what I was looking at, but I did not have water or a beach theme in mind when I made my selection.  I pushed the envelope and made this work by adding a wave like circle on the background and then made the vellum waves at the bottom.

There are some fabulous Design Team cards over at The Outlawz, so please hop on over and take a look.
Thanks for stopping by today.
