Last Saturday, when I saw Unscripted Sketches #241
I decided, nope, can't wrap my head around that one...especially since I'm pretty much on the 'lovely dovey' cards only diet. Each day - and often several times a day - I was drawn back to the sketch, to the delightful DT samples, to the entries. Something kept calling to me...
Last night, I had one of Bev's famous 'pings' (mine was quite teensy). I decided to work with the sketch a la small scale, reached for my 3 X 3 card die from MCT, and voila...another mini was born. Since my mini is square, yet another entry heading to Keep it Simple #32: Square
In case you're wondering, the red paper clip is for the photo op, only, as I haven't decided if I'll use velcro or twine to keep it closed. Then again,the paper clipmay be the closure of choice, as it kinda sorta works. When the top flap of the card is lifted, a little pocket appears, just the *right* size for a small chocolate treat. I'm not sure if the several more I plan to make will be for the niece and nephew's pals, or for the teachers. Hmmm....
Note: So very honoured to receive a Top 3 over at Unscripted! Happy dancing!!!
Thanks so much for dropping by; your visit and comments make my day!

Fun, fun layout! I love that you included all the layers and the...uh...paper clip (I couldn't think of the word temporarily...lol!). Such a sweet card. The touch of blue is nice on the eyes too, makes it a little less traditional and more fun!
