Create with Connie and Mary Challenge CCMC213

My card today was created for a challenge over at Create with Connie and Mary.  I had my card finished last night but had to wait until today to get a picture and post it.  I got my card ready to photograph, and lo and behold, my camera is NOWHERE to be found.  I've got two hours left to get my card posted. UGH!  I found an old camera and got the picture, but my laptop won't recognize the device!  Oh no!  I spent another half hour searching for my camera and found it underneath the ottoman.  Yeah!  So, just in the nick of time, I am getting my card posted!  Here is the sketch for this week. 

2012 Create Challenges-029

I wanted to use up some scraps of Twitterpated Designer Series Paper that I had laying around, so here is what I came up with.   It came together really quickly.  The only bit of "extra" work I had to do was run the Basic Gray piece of cardstock through the Big Shot twice, overlapping it in the folder the second time, because it didn't fit in the folder the way I wanted it to.  If only the Big Shot was a little bit wider!  I have seen that some people have cut a little bit of their embossing folders off since they are wider now, but I am not that brave!
