{SFYTT} When Life Throws You a Curve Ball. . .

SWING!

Today I'm playing along in yet another sketch challenge?! What has gotten into me lately with all this stamping and blogging?! :) It really helps that I've had some time off work this week to relax and enjoy my favorite hobby! I could get use to this! :)

Today's card is for a "Sketch for You to Try" {SFYTT} by Jen del Muro of iheart2stamp fame. I really like this layout, but I'm not so sure that I care for it with my two main images. Some of the other cards I've seen using this sketch have used a piece of cardstock on the left as a backdrop for the main image on the right. Anyway, is mine too busy? Or is it the buttons that don't belong? What else could I put there? Wads of chewing gum? LOL...just kidding.... I guess I'm just not feelin' it with this one. :)

As for the card details ~ the paper is by Basic Grey. The sentiment stamp is one of the "kids quotes" by Inkadinkadoo and the Changito Monkey "Play Ball" batter is by Stampendous. I've done some random stitching around the outside edge and zigzag stitched the layers. Stampin Up linen thread is what I've tied on the buttons and images.

This afternoon I finally got my new slide scanner installed and started scanning some of our old family slides from the 60's and 70's. Oh my gosh, are there ever some classics! We've got a large tote full of hundreds of slides so this will be a slow tedious process, but it will certainly bring back some great memories and give us a good laugh too! Ok, do you wanna see just one? I'll warn you...it's hilarious! (see below...hidden under my quote of the day) LOL!

Thanks for stopping by today! Happy Hi to all my faithful followers...you know who you are! :) Love your kind words of encouragement and personal messages. Hugs & Smiles 2 U All!

Quote for Today ~

After God created the world, He made man and woman. Then, to keep the whole thing from collapsing, He invented humor. ~Bill Kelly

This isn't the best photo and my photo editing software didn't want to touch it. ha ha

You'll get the general idea and still see the humor in it. Check out those PLAID pants my hubby is wearing!! :) But then, my green PANTSUIT isn't much better. Gotta love the styles of the 70's!!! LOL :)
