Here is the challenge:
And here is my card:
I LOVE the way this turned out! I pulled out my Paper Smooches Pretty Sentiments stamp set for this one and used one of my favorite background stamps, Market Street Stamps Bit of Burlap. I stamped the background with Summer Sunrise, the card base is Orange Zest, the scallop border and notebook pattern (from PTI's Library Ledger set) are Aqua Mist, and the gorgeous satin ribbon is Hawaiian Shores!
Also, how do ya like the new blog design!? I LOVE it- a much needed improvement around here... lol... Erin over at Designer Blogs hooked it up for me- if you stop by, let her know I sent ya!
One more thing before I go- I'm going to be absent the rest of the week! I'm super busy with school, family, and some creative deadlines coming up, but I will see you on Monday with a Market Street Stamps sneak peek (MARCH RELEASE AVAILABLE MARCH 26th!) and some super fun stuff to announce late next week!

Darn it... You and your burlap! I had blocked it from my mind. But now I'm loving it again! I just might have to order it. It is just so perfect for adding some color and texture...
ReplyDeleteSo cute!! I just ordered that sentiment set too! I love how you used it!
ReplyDeleteWow, what a great blog design! Love the colors and the scalloped banner design - cool. Oh and love your card too - the design, colors and love that background stamp.
ReplyDeleteI love that Paper Smooches set...the only reason I didn't get it was because of the "everyday" instead of "every day" typo. I let Kim know about it and hope she fixes it so I can buy it. If not - I hope more cuteness comes. I love that burlap background too - - busy busy, see you soon!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous card! I love the colors and that wonderful sentiment. I am sending you much stamina to get through your epic week! Hugs.
ReplyDeleteThis is just TOO CUTE, Steph!!
