discover paradise... escape

Pretty Patterns Sketch has a simple sketch for us to play with, I had to modify just a tad to get my pre-printed sentiment to fit.

Along with a challenge from Dutch Dare Cards of "For The Boys"




This Digi is so cute, I've been wanting to use it for a while.  Got it from Two for Tuesday's blog.

Pals Paper Arts current color challenge is Stampin Up: Early Espresso, Soft Suede, and River Rock.  I don't have any of these colors in ink and very limited supply of the paper but I really like how my card turned out.
