CAS(E) this Sketch #105

When I received an invitation from Chrissy to be a guest designer, you can imagine the honor, nerves and excitement I felt all in about 2 split seconds, right?  SO excited... thank you, Chrissy!

Though I was given several weeks to prepare, several cards came to mind when I saw Michelle Williams' [that would be Two-L's to me =] sketch:

 

But, then something wonderful happened.  You may have heard me tell about 'dreaming cards' well, this time it was Tom... yes, I may be rubbing off on him... after 20 years, it was bound to happen... he actually said:
 
 "I have a card for you, babe.  Life: it's about time!" 
 
I'm sure it has been used before, but I certainly didn't tell my sweet husband that ... for him, I'm using it again - my way.
 
For CAS(E) this Sketch #105, Michelle Williams, Chrissy, and Tom:
 
PTI dies clock face, and Hands of Time ; SSS Smoke cardstock; and a bit of scrap DP - if anyone recognizes that pink wood-grain paper - please tell me who makes it!!!  I love it and forgot to save the mfg. strip... ugh!
 
Thank you, so very much, Chrissy... it certainly has been my delight and honor to play along with all of you fabulous designers!

    Congrats on your GDT spot Michele!! I can't think of anyone any more deserving than you! I love, love your card, even if it was your hubby's idea. I don't think I have rubbed off on my hubby and yes it has been over 20 years. lol It could be 50 years and I don't think I would rub off on him, so I think it is really cool that your hubby suggested it and your did it in your style, your way! Hugs, Brenda

    What an absolutely gorgeous card! I dropped my jaw. Stunning. Wonderful. One of those cards that is perfect just the way it is. Wow. Can you tell I'm impressed? I've never gushed like this in a comment. (Shaking my head to clear the awesome visual of the card.) I have struggled with that die and stamp set. It just felt too big. I will CASE this card forever and will use your design as a sketch. Signed...a new fan
