Connie's card is so pretty! I love this scripture and I wanted to do another card with these fun pinecones I have been making with hole punches (I made this with the large hole on my crop-a-dial.
The Inspiration Challenge involved a visit to the Wall Paper collective and this is the wallpaper that inspired me:
I thought about doing the bg pink, but I just didn't think it would look right.
The WT347 challenge was to use newsprint. I don't have a single newspaper in my house, so I used a page from an old dictionary (I saw several people do this - they were newsprint challenged like me). I loved all the cards in the WT gallery so I had to try this one.

This is dynamic! Love your pine cones and how they match the news print background paper-what a clever design element. This has such a shabby chic appeal that can't be beat. It's so elegant and gorgeous.

Sistah! Oh my word- I saved Kitties pine cone tutorial today, thinking someday I must use it- and here you are, with a gem! I love how you have used this sketch and the beautiful Scripture that stands out so well. What a heart you have! LYMIMIMIMIMIMI

Here we go again with an exquisite creation by Nancy. I LOVE your pine cones, the b/g and, again, how you've managed to create a full themed card with even a pinecone on the newsprint. I bow to you mighty one. I also am jealous of all your punching. I'm so far b/hind you. You must have patience. I have the beautiful b/day card you sent me with a gazzillion flower punchez. It's at my desk right now as we speak. You are one in a "gazzillion" sis!

Those pine cones are quite the creation, Ms. Nancy. such a pretty card you've brought to the gallery and with such an uplifting sentiment. I know someone in my life right now that could certainly benefit from seeing this sentiment! Whoever receives this card will be moved by its gorgeous design and warmth. Truth too! You covered all the bases with this one, nancy.

LOVE the pine cones, the foliage around them, the lovely lace, the fabulous verse (one of my favorites) and the text DP. Gorgeous card!
