Melissa's Sketch

Well I've been a bit quiet of late due to a very sore back. I was silly & tried to move some things that were just way too heavy for little ol me & my back objected quite strongly.
Sitting down is pretty painful so I haven't even been able to drown my sorrows in some creativity, that's the worse part for sure. Where there's a will, there's a way but, & one of my very favourite designers, Melissa Philips, has an awesome sketch on her blog that I just can't not play along with. So I made this card standing at the kitchen bench today, LOL I should have made a Get Well card really, shouldn't I?
I've used My Mind's Eye papers, the scallop is cut from some MM Noteworthy paper, the scallop chipboard oval is Maya Road & I used a Stampin Up birthday stamp.



Now I must get this back better before Friday as we are having our July Cyber Crop over at Scrap Pile. The theme is Christmas in July so I've got a Christmas card challenge organised if you'd like to come & join in. It can never be too early to get a start on those Christmas cards.

Sorry to hear about your back, hope you are on the mend. Its a great card you completed. I may be crazy, but can I ask what a cyber crop is, do you just do something digital and then email it somewhere.

Hope your back is on the mend.
