I have been humming Amy Grant's song all day after making this card - though I am dating myself by mentioning this song LOL!  Pulled out my dwindling The Sweetest Thing MME paper pad to use up some scraps, and paired it with a tweaked version of a Deconstructed Sketch to create this card. Was a very masculine card initially, so I dressed it up a bit with the pearls and punched daisy chain.

You might be using a "Plain Jane" stamp, but your card and the message are beautiful--nothing plain about them. Enjoyed this hop and having the opportunity of looking at all the wonderful cards all have made. Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas to all!

Good morning Marisa! So sorry I am late commenting on your wonderful cards and tags. I am sitting here with my coffee so amazed at your work (as always). I just love how you mix papers and colors and make your cards speak from so many different levels. The black reverse arrow strip is a good example - it totally draws the eye to the wonderful sentiment. You are so talented and this card is very special. Hugz
