Ever had one of those days, weeks, months….lives where time seems to go so fast you can’t catch your breath? Yeah, you say. Welcome to my world. I think we all have those days. I usually “catch up” on my stamping over the weekend, but I spent Saturday with my darling daughter at a volleyball tournament, squeezed in a family movie night watching “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” (spoiler alert: AWESOME!!). Then Sunday was an inspiring worship service with Keith Lancaster leading our singing and our preach returning to the pulpit for the first time since starting cancer treatments. Followed by a soccer game, finishing up my Stampin’ Up taxes (ugh!), and an evening Bible study. By the time I got home, I was too pooped to stamp.Well, Monday was a full day of work, followed by a volleyball club board meeting, then I had to run some errands and I didn’t get home until 9:30. I’m still too pooped to stamp, but I made quick card any way because I made a commitment that I’m going to blog every weekday this year. So here it is, almost 11:00 and I’m keeping my commitment.
This card was made for another of the Create with Connie and Mary challenges. It’s sketch challenge this week. Thank goodness it’s a simple sketch. Here’s the sketch…
….and here’s my too pooped to stamp card. My DD deemed it “really cute” without prompting. I hope you enjoy it. And I hope I have a little more time to stamp tomorrow night so I can make a few things in “reserve” for the rest of the week’s blog entries.

I like the coordinating ribbon in different sizes for the background. I like how you took the chevron from the stamped image and used it in the embossing! Thanks for joining us in the Sketch Challenge this week at Create with Connie and Mary!
