Someone had asked me whether I make my card before or after I draw up the sketch - I almost always draw up the sketch first and then make my card. It's a rare thing when I make a card without using a sketch for a template - it's like I'm lost and wandering around and I can't start my journey without first having a map. Anyone else like that? Usually I'm making my SSSC card 2 hours before the post goes live - that's how I roll. I'm fairly certain there are people who find the SSSC sketch preview on Facebook and complete their card before me!
For this week's card, I picked up an a la mode - Something's Fishy from My Favorite Things and paired it with 6x6 Splash papers from Echo Park. I just can't help it - if it's about water or sea life, I have to use Splash! The sentiment is from Say What and I used the coordinating Say What Die-namics for the thought bubble.
