Hello Card

Can you believe it is September already?!! It just blows my mind that summer is officially over in my mind and we are heading into fall.
Anyway, three posts ago (Here), I shared a layout I created using the sketch from the new issue at Paper Issues.
Once I finished my layout, I decided to take some of the scraps and create a card based on the sketch as well.
Here is the sketch again...
and here is my card. Once again, I was inspired to use circles, a title over the circles and then a star. Keeping it simple.

There is still time to give the sketch a try. The Simple Scrapper prizes are still available along with a $20 gift certificate to the Paper Issues store. but to win the prizes you don't even need to try the sketch. Just follow the directions on how to enter on this post Here! If you do try the sketch and link up, you get a bonus five entries though.

Also, since it is Wednesday, I am up on the Craft Your Nest blog with a little challenge. Come on by and check it out Here if you are up for a small stamping challenge.

I should be back on Friday with a layout.
See you then!

    I love it! The circles are great and the sentiment almost looks like it's on a chalkboard. Is it on a chalkboard? I can't believe it's September either! I'm not exactly thrilled with the 90+ degree weather coming back :(
