You're So Hip

Surprise Saturday post!  There are a couple of challenges that I just had to participate in this week : )  While Sarah was here, I had blog posts scheduled, but I got to do some stuff in my craft room on Thursday and Friday.  So here's my bonus card this week.

This is going to a friend who has just started treatment for breast cancer; like my mom (who completed her treatment last year) my friend likes hippos.  The color challenge from Cupcake Inspirations was perfect for a hippo card:

And I puffy heart love the sketch from CAS Colours & Sketches:

Such a classic, I could make a hundred cards with this sketch!  I thought about adding some flower embellishments but since this is a CAS challenge, I kept it simple.  This card went out in the mail yesterday.  I've actually done pretty well about mailing things out this year!

Hope your weekend is off to a good start, peeps.  Cheers!
