Love You Card and Sketch Challenge

My DD and I went shopping the other day for some retail therapy - she had just had a minor surgical procedure and her neck was in pain so she decided she needed pain relief that only shopping could give her.  Amazing that at only 12 she already appreciates the healing powers that clothes shopping has!

While out shopping, I convinced her to go to the craft store afterwards.  It was obvious how wonderful her clothes shopping experience was since she said "OK" without hesitation (she HATES when I drag her to the scrapbook store....).  She enjoyed the craft shopping so much that she even helped pick out some of the papers including a paper pack from 7Gypsies called Paddington.  The set is mostly black and white with a very urban London feel - very appropriate since we used to live in London!

I had to make something with it and came across this argyle cut file I downloaded ages ago along with some argyle ribbon.  Perfect!

Entering this in two challenges:

 Recipe:
  • Printed Paper = 7Gypsies Paddington set
  • Ribbon = Ribbon Trends
  • Ribbon Buckle = JoAnne's
  • Rhinestones = Michael's dollar bin
  • Stamp = TPC Studio Greetings set
  • Ink = StayzOn Jet Black
  • Chipboard circle tag = Thickers Accents
  • Glitter Glue around sentiment = Ranger Stickles (black)
