Hometown Thanks

Hi friends!  I hope you had a fabulous weekend!  It's Monday again, and that means it's time for a new Mojo Monday sketch.  Today's sketch is based on this card I posted about a month ago.  I loved the way it turned out, and thought it would be fun to try again, so I turned it into a sketch and made a new card with it.



The Making Of:
I started by stamping the bookplate frame from Tag Time, cutting by hand and matting on a black Curvy Bookplate diecut.  The flowers are cut with the Floral Circles die set and then stamped with flower images from Bloom & Grow and sponged with blushing bride ink.  The leaves were cut with the Elegant Leaves die, then stamped with the coordinating leaves from Bloom & Grow.  A little patterned paper, a border punch, and ribbon and twine finished it off.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  I hope you'll take some time to check out the designer samples over at Mojo Monday, then play along with us this week!

And before I go, just a little reminder about the Think Pink Sale going on at Verve through October 16.  10% of proceeds from the sale will be donated to the Susan G Komen For the Cure Foundation.
