This card was inspired by a sketch challenge that I found at a new web-site called Freshly Made Sketches!! At least if they aren’t new, they are new to me. Anyhoo, I have been missing my son somethin fierce lately, and he was going through a rough spot at college, so I decided I would make him a card to try and raise his spirits! He said it came at the most perfect time! Love that, and love him! I’m the luckiest mom in the world! Later, I am going to post the poem he wrote to his father and I !! Talk about touching!
Back to the real reason you stopped by….got side tracked! 🙂
I hope it’s okay that I rotated the sketch and my embellishment is a little higher than the sketch! 🙂
Thanks for dropping by and BTW…..
Go check out Freshly Made Sketches…you’ll be glad you did!
Here is the phrase I put in the inside of his card…It’s from a song by Rascal Flats

Aww…so sweet! He sounds like a wonderful son and I can see what you’d miss him. I love personalized cards; adding his name to the front is such a nice touch. Love the inspiration inside too. Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches.
