Always Have High Hopes–C4C # 123

Pin It
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 here are the Die-namics dies I used on this card:
