I finally got around to Saturday's Card Pattern Challenge .   I really liked the sketch.  I decided to use up some of my Wings paper for this one.   I haven't used this paper for a while and the sketch just said "Wings" to me.  I used the Dreams Come True stamp too.  This is one stamp that I have used several times.  I love the flourish in this set. The sketch:   Recipe: Wings Level 2 Paper (X7135B) Dreams Come True (D1470) Black Ribbon:  Level 2 Assortment - Wings (Z1398)  Vineyard Berry Exclusive Ink (Z2157) Black Exclusive Ink (Z2105) Remember!  Wings Level 2 and Level 1 Paper packs along with the Stickease and matching accents will retire on July 31!  If you love this paper, get it before they are gone!  You can order directly from my website at www.stampinheaven.myctmh.com

It was busy but I still had fun!   I did miss a few challenges that I would have loved participating in. Tonight's ballgame was cancelled and as soon as I got that message I knew exactly what I'd be doing tonight.    I really planned on creating several cards tonight but I was really having a difficult time getting my creative mojo going.   It took me a while to get started.
