Pulled out some fabulous MME papers and went to work - a bit too much perhaps as I hardly have any white space on my card which is not my norm. Heck, I even covered up half the circle LOL! No overly fond of it as I find it too busy, but time was short so you get to see my faux pas wink, wink.
The sentiment is from Verve's Love Notes set and I highlighted it by using brown half pearls on the horizontal banner. Found this fabulous heart button in my stash and decided to add along with a strip of red for some visual interest on the bottom section of the card as I felt the sentiment was getting lost amid all the paper patterns.

Started teaching my daughter how to drive this weekend and boy was it strange seeing her in the driver's seat!! She did very well for her first time, and the gated complex my mom lives in is the perfect place to practice as there is a nice big loop and very little traffic. Once she is comfortable there, we will venture out onto the quiet streets in our neighbourhood.
