Happy Thursday, everyone!  Have you been enjoying your week?  Thanks to all of you who played along with my sketch challenge last week - the entries were amazing!  This week, Tamie is our hostess-with-the-mostest and her challenge is a theme, "Chicks Rule!"  She'd like you to make a card/project for a girl or about a girl...interpret how you may.   :)

For my card, I wanted to combine a few different challenges.  I started by finding last week's wonderful color combo over at the Color Throwdown:

 
I knew I wanted to make this card for TCP Tuesday #199 (better late than never, right?) which was a supply/stamp challenge - we had to use the Clouds Cut-Ups die as well as use any stamp(s) from The Cat's Pajamas that are "out getting a breath of fresh air" (aka, doing something outside).  I decided to go with another one of my new ones, "Warm Fuzzies." She's wearing a scarf and has a bird on her head so she *must* be outside, right?  

And, last but certainly not least, I used Jen's March Sketch For You To Try...another great one!




Isn't she cute?  I made a *little* addition to the sketch for my sentiment - I had to cover an "OOPS!  I originally stamped the sentiment right onto the houndstooth print but it did NOT show up so I had to cover it somehow and this was the best I could do. :)

Thanks for stopping by - make sure you stop by the other Chicks' blogs to see what they've been up to!  See you next week!
