Next card was based on the sketch that Elizna used to make this gorgeous card you see at the left.There's so much to love about this card - the way she used the tags, the dimensional hearts and the gorgeous border.
Having said that, my card, being for my father-in-law, is totally different!
Here it is:
The first point of inspiration for this card was the cute little Stampin' Up house stamps. From there I thought of this map paper, which dictated my colour choice.
I loved in the sketch how everything was in the bottom right hand corner, but I moved my sentiment up to cover a place name that was in a larger font and somewhat distracting.
I noticed that a couple of the girls were wetting the edges of their papers to distress them. I am totally loving this technique!
Hi, Julie. LOVE your take on the sketch! And thank you for visiting my blog.

I will not attempt your challenge of spending less on craft stuff...LOL! I just love scrapping stuff...think I need a little support group to get me off the spending habit ;-)
I'm happy to be your support group, Elizna, if you ever decide you want one, just keep reading!
