Keeping It Real


Using Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 #118-49 (turned Sketch Upside-Down) I made a Birthday Card for my Son-In-Law who loves the Arizona sunshine.  They moved from Buffalo NY to get away from the snow.  He's a fan of Popeye so I did a card with him relaxing against a cactus (ouch) in the triple digit heat...and would you believe even in this heat, my son-in-law daily heads for the hot-tub.    

For Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2 #118-49, I chose to do the Sketch upside down so that I could put the sun in the upper r-h corner.

This card made me giggle. I love your fabulous die-cuts and that silly Popeye lounging against the cactus. I've got a few crazy Arizonians in my family (who golf when it is triple digits) so I got a few ideas from your card. Thanks so much for sharing this with us!

A great personal card as you've picked image and scene according to your son in law's preferences. The cactus is a fun detail! Great card.
