I am excited to once again be a "guest designer" at The Shabby Tea Room"!!!!
This weeks challenge is a sketch designed by Lesley Croghan.
I decided to do a combination Spring/Valentine card using the
gorgeous new Graphic 45 Sweet Sentiments papers
I just love how these sweet papers fit into the Marianne book die...
like a real book page!
As soon as I looked at the sketch the book die came to mind...
as did the papers...I am just impressed I remembered I had both...lol
When I was a little girl, my bedroom used to be lilac and pink....
it was my favorite color, and for some reason this card reminds me of those
"long ago" childhood days...
I remember I had a pink ruffled bedspread with roses on it, right out of the
Speigals catalog!!
Now that sure ages me....but it was our big mail order at that time!!!!
Products used on my card are:
Marianne Designs: book die
Cheery Lynn Designs: Carnivale Border die, Pretty Pretty Bow die, Tiny Flower kit
Memory Box: Woven basket die
Papers : Graphic 45 Sweet Sentiments
Card Stock" SU Very Vanilla, Orchard Opulence
SU: Heart Punch

Congratulations on the GD honor, Diane! You have done a magnificent card using Lesley's wonderful sketch! Just look at all those lush shades of lilac and purple - such an on-trend color right now!!
You brought back memories of the Sears and Pennys catalogs, and Spiegels: oh my, now that was a fancy one; it had the best photography!!
Have a great week! Hugs, Darnell
