The Diedrich Dare week 16 - DDSC16

Hey everybody...Happy New Year! I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful holiday season. We had a break last week from our weekly challenge, and we're back this week with a fun sketch from 7 year old Nikolas. Great job Nicky! Here is the sketch.... And here's my card. I attended a baby shower this evening for a young lady who used to babysit my children, years ago. She's having her first...a boy. So, I figured I'd make a card for her and use the sketch challenge from our weekly Diedrich Dare. The paper piercing with the faux stitching got a bit too "thick" at one point, but I didn't have time to re-do it, so I figure...that's part of getting a homemade card (at least from me)....sometimes it's not perfect.

If you'd like to play along, make sure and link your card using Mr. Linky on the Whimsical Wednesday blog, and use the key word DDSC16 so we'll know where to find you. Check out all the other wonderful works of the Diedrich Dare members. A few members can't play this week, many still out of town for Christmas visits, or just super busy - Cassie, Heather, Valerie, Debbie, and Jessica. Oh...and one more thing before I close...Starting in January, the Diedrich Dare will have sponsers and prizes. You can read more at the Whimsical Wednesdays blog...so stay tuned for more fun information.

Have a wonderful beginning of 2010. Hugs, Darla
