CAS[E] this Sketch #185

Often times you've heard me say 'I scratched my head' over one sketch or another ... this time?  Well.  See for yourself:


I speak the truth, right?!  But, ever ready for a challenge, I persevered!!!  Take that, Leigh Penner!!!  [that said with a very big smile =] she knows I totally love her sketches!]

For Leigh and CTS #185:

Two sets of cute little MFT spectacles [I so want those polka dot ones] 
I cut a cute little heart-shaped button hole to hang them from.
SSS lines on the inside panel, and a few score lines a la Laurie Willison  
joined together with one of my personal sentiments ...
and this inside:
 
 
Clearly, we'll be looking forward to seeing how you interpret Leigh's fun sketch! 
 
Not only do we have a design-team's stack of cards to ogle, my friend Bobby Hagen is guest designing ... gotta run!!

I love this! Didn't know it was MFT's frames--they look so huge! (Optical illusion, eh?) And that "bonus" card with the hearts is my second fave part of the ensemble. Sigh....

I also love the wonky stripes and darling hearts you chose for your inside sentiment...Fabulous card...and I mean fabulous!!!

And I thought the cacti were cute. This is brilliantly clever, Michele, and you always do the best sentiments. I have those glasses. Hmmm I wonder what clever thing I could do with them.
