I just love the sketch that Julee of Poetic Artistry gave for this weeks Mojo challenge. It is so quick and easy, but oh so very elegant. I also used today inspiration challenge from SCS--I will have to say I was stretched a bit when it came to chosing an inspiration piece from this website. I had a hard time thinking cards while looking at the Mackenzie-Childs website. I decided on this plate because I liked the way the flowers were on top of the checkedboard background. Thus the inspiration for my main panel. I stamped my background checkeredboard background stamp in So Saffron--next I stamped my leaves in Old Olive and then added die cut flowers from the Pina Colada Simply Scrappin set. My strip that divided the DP from the base is also from this Simply Scrappin set. My sentiment is from Verve.

I have missed stamping over the last week or so--too many Christmas activities!! I did have a very Merry Christmas though and I am hope you all did too!!
