Sending Smiles

It's Friday Eve and I'm back with a card I made earlier this week for this week's Make It Monday.  How could I not participate in this week's challenge when I have tons of paper scraps in various storage vessels in my craft room?!  I only wish I could consume them as quickly as I acquire them!

I was inspired by the layout of the card Dawn made, but my color palette is oriented to late summer/early fall and I flipped the focal images and sentiment on my card.  I also added some faux stitching between the patterned paper seams.  My faux stitching clearly isn't perfect, but I assure you it is FAR better than my real attempts with a sewing machine.  Trust me on this.

Thanks for stopping by!  Enjoy the rest of your week!
