Valentine for a friend ~ MFT Weekly Sketch Challenge

Good day to everyone, and thank you for stopping by!  I FINALLY made time to get into my craft room and create!  Starting off 2015 with this super fun sketch challenge by one of my fav companies, MFT!

For this challenge I used some lovely Authentique pink woodgrain paper for my background and I even broke out my sewing machine once I saw DT member Veronica Zalis's entry this week.  I just love to sew and think it's the perfect way to border and add accents to my cards.  

I created the banner using the flip side of that woodgrain paper which has a pretty red script and then added Teresa Collins washi tape to liven it up. Then I added a few diecuts from my new MFT Blueprints #8, which cut out that cute "FRIEND" and 2 different sized hearts.  The larger heart has button holes, which allowed me to tie the tiny gold twine through.  Pretty Pink Posh Crystal 4mm cupped sequins, which always add so much!  And lastly, the tiny clock face from a Prima set that I've had in my stash for a loooong "time".

Thanks again for stopping, I appreciate your comments and please consider following me!
