This card was created using the High Hopes Project of the month stamps, and a the layout that I got from a sketch that a nice SCS'er posted in the forums under General Stamping Talk. The file was called "Sketches and card photos". I thought I was being so creative until I realized that the layout was EXACTLY the same as used by #1artist4highhopes for a couple of her adorable baby cards, only her cards are horizontal and mine is vertical! ARGH!! The funny thing is... this card stumped me so long trying to find the right balance of the weight of the images, and the colors that it sat unassembled on my desk for two days (has that ever happened to you?). Well...Here's to you Crissy for beautiful images, and smart layouts!! I do like the finished project, its like a baby quilt or a sampler with all its little images pulling together to make one image.

Great card, Tina! Only don't give me the credit for the layout, cuz I did not come up with it. It was Sketch Challenge #108! I don't think I could pull something that complicate out of my brain! lol
I love your card, and its great in the vertical position like that. I love how you drew attention to the main image by popping it out. The ribbons add a lot and join all the panels together. Nice soft mauves complement the golden tones and dark blue. Just a sweet card!

Tina, I love this card. Such a cute idea with the button and ribbon in the corner. I really need to find time to shop, I have seen so many cute images from your line.
