I don't use a ton of patterned paper so I always love a sketch that encourages me to grab those paper pads that don't see to much time around my craft space. This week's CAS(e) this Sketch challenge was the perfect chance for me to pull out the patterned paper. This card came together quickly and is being sent to a co-worker who was injured in a mountain biking race. Thankfully, he will be okay but his recovery is going to be a long one. He doesn't like to sit still and is a huge marathon runner and avid biker. Sending prayers of healing and patience his way with this card.
Now, onto a much lighter subject! The Chocolate Milk Challenge! Pat was heading out to the grocery store a few days ago and we were all saying everything we needed. One of the boys suggested chocolate milk...which led to the chocolate milk challenge. The challenge was to see whose half gallon of chocolate milk would last the longest. He came back from the grocery store and each boy had their name written on the bottle of chocolate milk. Needless to say...Ryan's was gone in about 15 hours (Friday night to Saturday morning). He left a note for his chocolate milk. Of course, lots of laugh over this impromptu challenge!

Hilarious note from Ryan! So good to use the DSP and grant combo x
We have a client who took a big tumble while mountain biking - huge road rash and a consussion - got away lucky without any broken bones this time round! Sure he will greatly appreciate the card. Had a good giggle about the chocolate milk challenge :) Great idea and love the note lol
Great mix of patterns and colors, lots of different DPs used and yet your card feels ultra CAS, love it.

Very funny chocolate milk challenge. Love the note. Your card is a fantastic way to use patterned paper. I seem to like to buy it more than use it.
Tee hee ... what a fun challenge, Lynn ... Ryan's note is a riot! Gorgeous card ... such a wonderful colour palette ... so cool and calm. Anita :)
Beautiful card! I love the way you used patterned paper here. Brilliant idea!
Laughing!! Remind me some day to email you the story about my sister's milk drinking contest in high school (at an illegal bonfire).. fabulous card... another easy one to CASE!
I love your selection of pattern and colors Lynn!
Thanks for joining us at Case this sketch!
Your card is brilliant - great way to use that paper! I may have to CASE this… And Ryan's note totally cracked me up. Your stories about the boys always put a smile on my face. :)
LOL! I'd totally fail that challenge, too ;). Love those layers of pattern! Great design!
I never thought of using pattern paper for that challenge, Lynn. It worked wonders on your card. I'm betting Ryan drank right out of the bottle, too? Love his humor.
