Sentiment Challenge at Card Makin’ Mamas!

Good morning, hope all is well with you.  Have you recovered from Thanksgiving?  Well, I have and now it’s back to business.  The challenge at Card Makin’ Mamas is to use a sentiment.  We are sponsored by Crafty Sentiments again.

And the prize is 4 digi images of the winners choosing. 

The sketch is from A Gem Of A Challenge.  I don’t know if you can tell but I flipped the embossed panel.  It started out as shimmery cardstock but it was too shimmery.  So, I tried to flip it, and liked that much better.  Ok, we’d love to see your sentiments, so link up your creation at CMM.  Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day.
