Hello everyone!!!
Today is a very special day - my oldest daughter Sarah is turning 11 years young!!! I have to admit I'm freaking out a little bit, because she will be in *Middle School* this fall!!! It all has gone by so fast....my husband I were talking about her *first* day in Preschool just the other day.....how can this all happen so fast...???
Sorry - I know you didn't stop by to hear me whine - LOL!!! On a happy note, I'm taking my *birthday girl* shopping today....she has outgrown a lot of her cloth and it's time for a new spring wardrobe!!!
Anyway - here is what's going on with the OCC Challenge - Laurie as challenged us to another fab Sketch of hers!!! I love Sketches!!! For all the awesome Samples and more info please visit the OCC blog!!! If you follow Laurie's blog you know that sweet little Ali had to undergo a biopsy on a tumor in her brain this past week. I made this card especially for Ali today!!!
I only had time to make one card so I combined the Inspiration Challenge #169 and the OCC Sketch!!! Did you see the fabulous Designer Store??? All I can say is WOW!!! I have chosen this beautiful plaque.
I used the gorgeous new *Thoughts & Prayers* Set from SU - the little flowers in the plaque reminded me of this image. I think this is the my favorite Set out of the new Catalog!!! I used this color combo - Cameo Coral, Baja Breeze and Old Olive!!!
I used my little Cameo Coral Ink Spot on the flowers and the Old Olive Marker on the leaves. I used the large oval and scalloped Nestie for the centerpiece. I dressed the little flowers with small Pearls and I also placed a bigger Pearl in the center of the Designer Button from the Button Bouquet Collection. The side panel was punched out with Scalloped Edge Punch. I added a thin Baja Breeze CS on top and pierced it.
Here is a direct link to all the OCC ladies - Amy, Cindy, Dawn, Jennifer, Julee, Laurie, Lori, Lynda, Jackie and Kim.
Hope you have a chance to play along??? Have a great weekend!!!

My sweet girl just turned 12, they grow up so fast! The teen years are too close. :)
I saw this on SCS yesterday and was WOWed again by your creation! This is so pretty and you are so thoughtful to send it to someone who needs something pretty to brighten their day. I hope you are rewarded for your generosity ten-fold! Beautifully done!
Omigosh, Silke, this is simply divine and elegant! Your daughter is going to LOVE it. You're exactly right...the time goes SO FAST. I have twin sons who will be 40 this year. I can't believe it because I try to forget I'm over 40! TFS.

*sigh*...I could seriously look at this card all day!!! The colors, your sketch, and all the wonderful details are so elegant and beautiful!! You amaze me regularly!!
Stunning Silke, absolutely stunning!
Absolutely perfect....I'm green with envy....actually I wish I had your talent.
I loved this card the minute I saw it - last Friday the day my mother was admitted to the hospital.
I virtually copied it (I used white 1/4 inch grosgrain ribbon instead of the baja breeze strip and used a Kiwi Kiss button instead of the blue). I wish I had even a tiny bit of your talent.
