Love You x 2

Even though I've sworn off buying any new paper until I make a significant dent in the hoarded supplies I already have, I did succumb to the lure of ... mmmm, paper ... during one of my recent shopping therapy sessions. I only bought 2 or 3 sheets, which for me is showing incredible restraint.

Earlier today, as I wandered around in The Captain's Quarters, I spied a piece of the new aforementioned pretty paper and went in search of a sketch so I could use it. I still have the Artful Delight September Sketch out (well, it's in that pile that lives on my desk, but it had risen to the top):

and I made this:

I used a lot of old and a lot of new here. The patterned paper is new, the sticker letters are new, the lace is sorta new, the button is old, and the card base is Sahara Sand - not my go-to-white I've been using lately. The button is a little off -- not green enough, but the greens I have weren't blue enough. Ah, a crafter's dilemma. Since I was into using up stash, I didn't bother making my own button this time.

However, I feel it's my duty to share with you that just because you have elements in the right color does not mean you should use them. I present Exhibit A:

Even though in real life those letters and button match better, I am not in like with this combination. It's just off. Blech.

I did manage to crank out another sketch challenge, so I'll get that posted next.

Thanks for stopping by!
