It finally stopped raining and OWH Sketch 88

I thought this was a great sketch!  I'm sort of mentally pooped this weekend, and this sketch gave me the opportunity to use some easy stamps and put together some great cards without having to spend an hour with markers.  I used the smallest size in the Safari stack from DCWV for these two.  I thought the card in the background seemed a little dull with just the plain brown backing.  I like it a lot better with the Sizzix embossing folder and a light sanding.
I almost forgot I had this cute stamp, but I think it worked out well for this sketch and I plan on making a few more of these for my own personal use.   The papers are from the Hippie Chic stack, also DCWV.

    Nancy,These cards a terrific. I love both of your sentiments, but especially on the second card. How True! I see your "babie" can give you the "treatment" just like mine can. They are something, huh? Thanks for sharing.

    Oh my gosh, the cards are all great, and I love both styles, but I'm completely cracking up over your dog "ignoring" you! LOL!! That is too funny, and he's doing a doggone fine job of it too from what I see!! LOL Don't you just love dogs :)

    Very nice group of cards! Amazing how different the two styles are yet both using the same sketch. I like how the layers frame the quote so nicely in the second one.
