Better Get Better-Retro Sketch

It's Monday, so it's time for another Chi Chi Memories post from me!! For this week's post, I decided to play along with this week's Retro Sketches challenge. 

I used the new, and super cute, Take Care My Friend digi for my card today. I printed my image on X-Press It blending card, and then colored her with my Copics. She was then layered with Bubblegum, Berrylicious, and Orange Fizz cardstock from MFT. My background paper is from an MME paper pad, and I used the Open Scalloped Doily Die-namics to cut it out. I embellished my card with Bubblegum grosgrain and buttons from MFT, and some brads from Michael's. The sentiment I used is from a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps set.

Well, that is it for me for now! Be sure to check out the Chi Chi Memories blog, and the Chi Chi Memories facebook page to keep up with all the goings on!!

Have a great day!
