Sketch Frenzy Friday 3/21/14

Hello to all my blogging friends, I hope this post finds you all well and happy!

I'm soooo happy it is Friday, what a week it has been!! I am also especially happy that it is time for another SFF Sketch challenge! This weeks sketch was designed by Kim Innis .

and here is her sketch.

I had so much fun creating my card this week. Most sketches I love simply because they challenge me to do my best and see what I can do with any given sketch. BUT, this weeks was a super creative sketch and I just love the way my card turned out. lolol. You be the judge here it is

I love to work with red, black and white as a general rule. But, this week I had thought I would mix it up a bit and try another color that also adds a blast of drama and pop to a card! I really think the Melon Mambo did the trick. I used a lot of  misc. DSP pieces that helped in creating the dramatic effect on the banners. Thank goodness that SU has an amazing assortment of DSP (Designer Series Paper) because  mixing and matching designs in a given paper family with colors and texture of paper is that much easier to work with.

because there is always a little something special you can do to gussie up the inside.

That's all there is for me for this weeks card. If you ever have any questions as to how I did something in creating any of my cards just e-mail me and I'll tell you what I did. I think all special hints or tricks should be shared. That's how I learned how to do many of the tricks I do.

We all hope you got inspired by our sketch this week and are able to do some creating of your own. We would especially love to see what you come up with. Please just add it to our website here http://www.sketchfrenzyfriday.blogspot.com/

Update on Jeff;
We finally got someone to listen to us and hear our plea for help at Kaiser !  I think we have a good game plan laid out for Jeff. We have a new Dr and he is going to give Jeff a Nerve Block injection tomorrow morning morning. He has also set Jeff up for Acupuncture and Physical Therapy sessions. As well as administered a set of pain medications that are not Narcotics. If the Nerve Block does not work then he will try a Epidural injection and go from there. I feel hopeful and happy that at least we are not wasting time with his old Dr. who said Jeff just may be in pain for the rest of his life??? We are getting appointments much faster and people have take an interest in his treatment plan. It has almost been two months since all this started and he is almost out of sick leave. Jeff had accumulated over two months sick leave so that in it's self goes to show he isn't a sickly person and that this is a real deal. This whole process has been rather unnerving and we almost lost hope. Hard times like there just bring Jeff and I that much closer. 'We really help each other out when the chips are down. I love my honey bunny so much. Please keep your prayers coming. Thank you!
