The Best Present Ever!

 

Today is the 9th of the month and here is my card for another The Three Musketeers post. This round, Kelly was the hostess this month and sent us a sweet image and sentiment from The House at Pooh Corner Collection from Echo Park Paper.  For November, this is card #147 and we are now in year #12!  I cannot believe this trio has been going strong coming up on 13 years! However, this will be the last year and this is the final month of hosting for Kelly.  She wanted to highlight our friendship over all of these years and she sure did!!!!

I colored the sweet image with my Copic Sketch Markers. Kelly had already die cut the image--thanks!  I picked out a cute piece of fall gingham patterned paper from Gina K's Autumn Splendor 66x6 pack.  I die cut a rounded square with a die from The Paper Cut into the patterned paper and adhered the sweet sentiment behind the open area with foam tape.  I then took two rounded squares from the die set and made a brown frame to place over the window. I embossed the brown strip with a Stampin' Up Timber Embossing Folder for a bit of texture.  I added the image in the corner, also with foam tape.  The bling is from Pinkfresh Studio called Metallic Pearls in Sparkling Champagne. 

I hope Kelly enjoys my card and I hope I have made her smile!  I know I am smiling from our years of friendship and this sweet challenge that has continued for 13 years--Amazing!
