This card is for today's sketch challenge and today's Alphabet challenge N is for Nerf.
My "nerf" ball is the yellow ball shape all over the focal panel. One of my favorite Christmas memories is when I was in my late teens and we were finally celebrating Christmas all together with my older brothers and their wives. My mom always liked to give everyone a toy at Christmas and that year she had found inexpensive "nerf" guns (really knock-off nerf guns) and thought it would be fun to give one to everyone. Even though they were inexpensive, it was adding up so she decided to not get one for herself. For some reason, I was in on the toy gift so I went back and got one for her without her knowing.
After all the other gifts were opened, everyone received their last gift which was the toy and mom was surprised when she had a box too! We all opened them at the same time and then chaos ensued running through the gift wrap remains playing, chasing each other, and laughing! These guns had yellow nerf like balls but they were connected to the guns with a string so sometimes there were several of us untangling our strings too. So much fun! That is why my nerf balls are yellow.
I did the panel, heat embossed the sentiment, and the three small basic gray circles were stamped with a pencil eraser. To complete the card, I stamped, colored, and fussy cut a bee and popped it up with foam tape.
Thanks for the fun challenges and thanks for looking!

Catherine, your card is BEE-utiful and the sentiment is awesome! (I tracked that set down and made a purchase.) Thanks for making this fabulous card with this week's sketch!

Sentiment sound s like one I have heard on a TV add. Cut card......I'm assuming your "Catherine's Creations" is a watermark and not a feature of your card. The placement is so perfect it could be.
