Color Throwdown 204 and Unscripted Sketches 171

It's a good thing my mother doesn't read my blog because I am about to reveal her age (and she might not like that)!  She's 77 and a few years ago she decided to take up bowling and joined a local league.  Well, it's too bad she didn't do it when she was younger because she has proven to be quite the bowler!  The last couple of years she has finished first in her league and with that honor comes a little cash prize.  Yesterday, she decided to celebrate her big win and took my sisters and me to lunch.  I wanted to send a thank you using a stamp set I just got recently.

The color inspiration for my card comes from The Color Throwdown and the sketch is from Unscripted Sketches.  

I bought this set just so that I would have something appropriate on hand to make her bowling-related cards.  I didn't really have anything that would simulate the bowling alley, but I thought the distressed argyle pattern kind of gave the impression of the lane.  I think she'll get it at any rate!

I'm going to mail this to her and I wish I could see her face when she gets it!  I think she's going to love it!

Well, this morning started our raining, but now the sun is coming out and I can already tell it's going to be a scorcher.  I've got errands to run then lots of cards to make for the upcoming week, so I'll try and keep cool in my stamp room.  I've been trying to clean it up and organize things because it's getting quite out of hand lately!  Thanks for stopping by!
