CASology #164 Umbrella! Freshly Made Sketches, and Curtain Call!

Somehow I have been missing the deadline at CASology for the last few weeks ... luckily I had a few extra crafty minutes to put together a card for #164: Umbrella! It was extra fun because I used the awesome sketch from Jen Timko at Freshly Made Sketches!

For CASology #164 and FMS204:

SSS Abby Spring Showers; BasicGrey Barista DP; PTI Hawaiian Shores ink
 
 
One more for the road a little popcorn for Curtain Call's
POP, POP, POP - my mind went immediately where Monika Davis' did - right to my favorite snack of all:
 
Paper Smooches Clouds for my popcorn; a snippet for the bow-tie;
Create a Smile's Coffee First [for the mustache] and Fiskars' Cupcakes and More
provided the perfect sentiments, a bit of blending for the butter!
 
 
Thanks for spending a bit of time with me today!  Always makes me smile when I have visitors!

    Wonderful, wonderful takes on these challenges - you always impress and delight me!!! Thanks for all you do!!! I am such a HUGE fan of yours but I really need to let you know that I won't be around in the bloggy world for the next 10 days - I am taking a much needed break - so except for already written and scheduled Design Team posts I will not be around and that includes commenting!! Please know that it is nothing personal!! We will have to find a time to play cards in October!! But I am excited because when I come back I will be celebrating my 4 year Blogaversary with lots of giveaways all during October!! I did leave some details about that on my blog!! Hope the rest of your September is beautiful and that you keep happy!!! Hugs!!!
