Take the Plunge!


I've got an amazing friend (truly amazing!) who is retiring soon.  With such a huge life change, she talked about feeling that she was standing on the edge of a cliff.  I thought these images from the Craft's Meow's Life is a Carnival would be PERFECT!  Now she'll probably see this out here, but I just had to share it.  I guess she gets the card twice this way!

Virginia's challenge on her blog is still going, and she keeps inspiring us with rainbow creations!  Vicky's offer for free Link Manager by Inlinkz during it's beta phase is still available with the opportunity to win some prizes!  The Craft's Meow blog has a great sketch this month and I have new (to me) CM stamps to ink!  All these incentives to make a card for a girl that needs no incentive - love it!



Well, a whole lot of ink blending going on here!  I inked the sentiment with ink pads too.  You know, with all our craft supplies, we always need MORE.  Those new distress markers would've really been handy with that sentiment.  One thing to note about the Inlinkz Manager.  It does not work with Windows Explorer, which is what I use.  I fretted a bit, but then I installed Firefox.  It was easy to do.  I'm sure Vicky just has to roll her eyes at non-tech people like me - Ha! 



This card is entered in the following challenges:
The Craft's Meow June Sketch Challenge
