Viva la Verve-Let Your Light Shine

Hi ya friends, it is a gorgeous day here in VA.....and to top it off I spent the morning with my creating friends.....woohoo.  These gals are always an inspiration and lots of fun!  I am sharing my second version of Amber's' Viva la Verve sketch, the first one is over in the Viva la Verve forum.  I have been in need of lots of cards lately, so I used this sketch twice.  I made this one manly for a young man we know who is graduating.  I also need a gift for a starting over shower for a great friend of mine....that it another card and gift tag.  I have made homemade sour dough bread and my strawberry freezer jam to go with the gift cards I am giving to each of these recipients.  I hope you have a super wonderful weekend....enjoy!
