That's sketchy

Some friends of my dad and stepmom's offered their home (on the beach--so nice) to host their anniversary party, and I wanted to do something to thank them. While I was there I took a photo of the house. Then I turned it into a sketch in PSE, using the instructions here

from a link that Amy (MommytoTen) ) shared on her blog: http://dailypleasures.blogspot.com/ (Thanks, Amy!)

Then I printed it on white cardstock and framed it:

I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Hopefully they won't look at my family blog and follow the link here and see this before I get a chance to give it to them. :-D
