Thinking outside of the 'box'!

Today I was inspired by the Paper Crafts Magazine sketch challenge.  I wanted to do something a bit different and not just stick 8 circles or 8 buttons or 8 flowers on my card ... sooooo, I added some of this amazing Webster's Pages Bloomers trim along with some gathered polka dotted grosgrain ribbon keeping in line with the schematics of the sketch outline!  I finished it off with a sentiment attached with a sparkler bobble (WP) and some yummy twine!  The paper is my new fav - October Afternoon Thrift Shop!

I hope you enjoyed peeking today :)
