Taste of Madison - CASE of Chrissy's Card

Today was the annual Taste of Madison! We've gone each year since 2000, except for 2006, when he went to Las Vegas to get married!! This is my husband Tom, me, Kary & Steve (Kary & I went to Nursing school together.) She and her huband moved to Madison in March 2000, and I moved here in June of 2000!! My daughter, her boyfriend, and another friend also joined us.
I ate way too much! I had a couple of Egg Rolls, a Rib Eye Steak sandwich, Cheese Curds, Vanilla Fudge Brownie Cheesecake (yummm) and a Strawberry-Banana Smoothie! Plus 2 beers!! It took 5 hours to consume all of that! We walked around the Capitol square 4 times, so we did get our exercise in!! So that was the Taste, until next year!! Here is a card I made yesterday. I cased it from Chrissy at SCS (danceswithhooves)
I just love how it turned out!!!
