Onto the hop...

You should have arrived at my blog from Stacey's blog  

Here is my take on the inspiration photo -

I used a TAWS freebie for my sentiment and the TAWS stamp set "get the point" for all the pieces in my banner.  My ribbon is "sunflower" from the 3 Girl Jam "harvest" bundle and I added a 3 Girl Jam vintage button in gray.  I was inspired by the colors of the photo as well as the banner that went across the top of two of the little characters.  I also used some wood grain paper at the bottom of my card which was inspired by the wood grains in the picture.

Your next stop on the hop is Kasia.
