New Year, New Dreams, New Books

Here we are in the year 2013.  With a new year usually comes new dreams, hopes, goals, and new books to read.  Here is a card with some of those thoughts in mind.


I used paper from My Mind's Eye for the card.  The lamp with books was cut from the Wall Decor and More cartridge.  I added a few little gems and a pretty sheer ribbon and bow to the card.  The sentiment is from a stamp set I found in the clearance bin at Hobby Lobby.  It is stamped on pretty oval mat that I cut  with a Spellbinders die.  And then I added another die cut mat to the sentiment.  


And then to finish the card I added key and lock brads to the sentiment.  The inspiration for the card began with a sketch.


This cute sketch is for the new challenge at Die Cuttin Divas.  And that is where I will be entering this card.
