Hello & Happy Saturday!!
Today is the Our Creative Corner Challenge. Vicki is our hostess and she threw at us a Sketch Challenge. Below is the sketch and my samples but before I get to that i'd like to explain the title of my blog post today.
Yesterday, as I watched the news it was brought up that a young man from here in Joplin was killed in the May 22nd tornado. He would have been 19 years old yesterday. As I watched this I got teary eyed and just felt like this young man had so much to offer the world! He was on his way home from his high school graduation when the tornado struck and took him. A life taken way too soon. I in no means knew this young man but his story was one that everyone around the country followed in the days after the tornado. So, as I made today's card I had Will Norton in mind. Happy Birthday, Will Norton!!

How sweet of you to recognize this young man's life! It's a great masculine card and wouldn't it be awesome if you could get the card sent to Will's family?!
This is awesome Wendy! I am so glad you played along with my sketch challenge this week on the OCC. I am touched that you made a card in honor of Will Norton. We will be forever changed and linked because of this tragedy in Joplin! Love ya girly!!
Great tribute Wendy... this totally rocks!
How thoughtful of you to pay tribute to a young man who lost his life much too soon. I'm sure there are lots of stories like his with the good folks in Joplin who survived that unbelievable catastrophe.
Your card is awesome and I love the colors and papers! Happy Birthday Will Norton!!
What a wonderful thing to recognize and you've done it well with this card. I really like the colors you chose and the embossing used on the circle. Great take on this week's sketch at Our Creative Corner. Thanks for joining us!
Good job, Wendy! Happy Birthday, Will! This is a fab tribute !

A fabulous card Wendy and a fitting tribute!
Love what you have done here - the embossed background, the rock star sentiment and the patterned paper all add up beautifully for a fabulous creation!!!
