Always Have High Hopes–C4C # 123

Pin It C4C123_2012feb11
Happy Saturday! Since it *is* Saturday, that means it’s time for the Crazy 4 Challenges challenge! Today Lynda is challenging us to use this sketch:
I love sketches so this was fun! I used patterned paper from my new Follow Your Heart – Be Amazing paper pad from MME. SO sweet! And I used the new Up, Up & Away Die-namics dies and the previously released Inspired by Up, Up and Away stamp set for my focal image. There’s also bling, seam binding, and a twine tied button—what more could one want, right? The sentiment, also from the set, was stamped on the small fishtail die cut from the First Place Award Ribbon Die-namics set, the ends cut off and popped up on another First Place Award Ribbon fishtail die cut. Add some machine stitching and some sponged edges and you’re done!

Here’s the inside with more images from the set:

And that's all for me for now! Thanks so much for stopping by! Be sure to check out what the rest of the design team has for you!
THEN, you know what to do--we'd love to have you come along and play with us. Just do your thing with the challenge and link it to Mr. Linky on the Crazy 4 Challenges blog. Please link directly to your project. And, if you upload to a public gallery, please use the key word C4C123.
