hey - Enjoy the Ride - AHSC 583

Hey Hey! I had to get a bit creative with today's card, I had to rotate it as my sentiment would not fit, but that is the great thing about sketches, you can do that, they are jumping off points. Again, I used the Enjoy the Ride paper pack created by CTMH but sold by Stampin' Up! I know I have said it before but I just love this Rosy plaid or gingham pattern and the flowers and bright bold colours are so fun to me. I know I am not done playing with this paper pack at all!

It was fun having a bit bigger of an area to play with so, so far so good but I will have to play with more to really see if this size is for me, I am a creature of habit!
