Happy Thursday everyone!! I have an odd bunch of cards to share with you today....each one is very different from the other. Weird when it works out that way, huh? Without further ado....let's get started because I have 4 of them to share with you today!
First up is my card for CPS Sketch 180 this week. You can't see it very well, but the blue portion of the sentiment is heat embossed...and it looks wonderful in real life!!

Phew...got them all posted!! Hope you like them!! Now on to some personal stuff....Casey is moved into his dorm room and started practice last week. He has found that college football is a lot harder than what he is used to, but he knew that going into it. He has been doing some reps with the Varsity...and according to Case, they are ginormous! Tee hee! So, as of now...Casey won't be red shirted and should see some play time this year. REALLY hope that is the case!! They have updated the player profiles, and the coach's notes on Casey are pretty cool. Here is a link:
And I will leave you with a song that got me up and dancing around my house the other day!! Love doing that!! ♥♥♥
Until later,
~Lea L.
