Freshly Made Sketches #399

I had to play with one of my favorite challenges this week...


… 399 is a really big deal, ya know??!!  Besides the Freshly Made Sketches sketch artist Jen, and their design team, really got my juices going - which is nothing new!

I had a spare panel from yesterday's card making session - this Lil' Inkers Stitched woodgrain cover up can represent so many things to my eye... how's about crab* tracks in sand? 

me thinks they're searching for my crab pot ... lol!
 
I did slather them all with a nice shiny coat of Nuvo Crystal Glaze, of course. 
 
 
I'm anticipating a wonderful celebration for #400 … thanks for dropping by today - hope you have a wonderful weekend!

  9. I am just loving this card Michele, those dang little crabs are just the cutest. Your color combo is fabulous and I love it so much. Love your take on the sketch as well. I'd like to know where summer went too, it sure did zip by. I guess because it was such a hot one and I stayed inside most of it! Hugs, Brenda
