A Ticket to Wish


The world would be a rather dull and dissatisfying place if the powers to be didn't hand out Tickets to Wish. There would be no hope. There would be no prayers. Hard work would be non-existent and challenge would be obsolete. But because people wish, they in turn hope, pray, work hard and embrace challenges. Being able to wish is wonderful, beautiful.

And if I do say so myself, so is the new release from Practicing Creativity Designs, For the Love of Grids! I've used two of the large background stamps to make this card, first stamping one in saffron and the other in a light pink to create a unique base for my little collage of elements.


Hop on over to the blogs of Valerie, Dana and Courtney for more delicious eye candy featuring the new release, For the Love of Grids.

  6. What a wonderful grid set. I love the bundle of accents on a rather clean and simple background. Your aging technique around the border creates a perfect look.
