it's friday:

told ya!* :)

♥

that being the case, this seems like an excellent time for a sketch. laura's 48, perhaps?:

and then obviously i should show my interpretation:

(patterned paper: my mind's eye, cosmo cricket, scenic route + some love elsie fabric paper ripped off its paper backing & stitched to the page; vintage: sheet music and chinese text paper; cardstock sticker: sassafras; rub-ons: maya road, fancy pants; ink: versamark black; pen: copic outliner; glass bauble: hero arts; other: dymo label, sewing machine; adhesives: tombow monorunner, uhu gluestick, 3m foam tape)

i really loved stef's lovely day "thrinchie" earlier this week, and last night when i was cleaning up scraps i realized this off-cut of folded white cardstock would make a really cute little square card...and i think i was right about that! mine is about 4.25" square, and again...it's quite a loosey-goosey version of the sketch... (honestly, i do set out to follow them absolutely faithfully--but then somehow, sort of midway through, my laureniness kicks in, and things take a turn for the weird!) i do like it, though, particularly since amost the entire thing is made of leftovers and extra bits i'd cut out for other projects. using up scraps...gotta love that, right?! :)

*for the benefit of folk who were not raised on american television: the photo is of the actor jack webb who starred as sergeant joe friday in the police show "dragnet" in the 1950's. the show, which still ran throughout my childhood in re-runs, was sort of the "CSI" of its day, in that it showed a daringly realistic (though generally not violent, and emphatically NOT glamorous) version of rank and file police detectives going about their daily routine.
