Thinking of You!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend!  This is Day 3 of Get Togethers and Cookouts!   My grandfather was a Veteran of World War I and my dad was in the National Guard for many years.   A special thanks to the many who gave all so we can do Get Togethers with family and friends in this land of freedom!

I have been cleaning today getting ready for some more company.  Of course, I did have to stop to get crafty for a bit.   I am playing along with this week's MFT Sketch Challenge 177.  I am also playing along with the Fusion Challenge.  I chose to use the inspiration picture not the sketch.


 
I started with MFT Smooth White card stock for the base.  I used MFT Card Stock sampler kraft and wild cherry.  I used Blueprints 15 to die cut background panel using kraft.  I stamped with some tonal ink using MFT Woodgrain BG stamp.    Next, I used MFT Polka Dot Cover Up with the wild cherry card stock.  I pieced together a frame using the larger of the Rectangle Frame dies.  I layered white card stock behind the polka dotted die cut.  I die cut the middle frame from Blueprints 1 using vellum because I did not want to cover up all of my polka dots.  I stamped and adhered using dimensionals the Forget Me Not stamps and Forget Me Not dies.  The sentiment I used is from Pretty Poppies stamp set.  I then cut out circles and a button from MFT Blueprints 1,  Blueprints 15,  and Blueprints 14.  I finished my card with a hemp cord bow behind the paper button.   I love the hemp cord because it does not fray or get fuzzy like jute.  

As always thanks so much for stopping by!
