a lolly for FMS #55 and IBSIC #29...

I had a little window of "cardyo" time today and was able to create a card to squeak into the Freshly Made Sketches Challenge and to combine it with the color challenge over at Inspired by Stamping Inspiration Challenge.

This isn't the lolly I told you about a post ago (or was it two?).  Now that I have successfully made my first one, I am addicted.  I still haven't finished off the card I put my first lolly on, but I will finish it soon and post it for you all to see.

This card was made for my Dad's birthday.  Normally I wouldn't make that sort of announcement on my blog, but I have absolutely zero fear that he might see it here before he receives it.  I'm pretty sure my dad doesn't know how to turn on a computer let alone search for something on the internet.  If I told him that I have a blog he'd probably tell me I should get it looked at LOL.  I know he could learn to do all of these things, but he really has no desire.  But just in case he makes a liar out of me... Love you lots and lots Dad : )

Here is the sketch for FMS #55...
