Heartfelt Thanks

Cardstock:  Various kinds
Stamps:  Butterfly-Inkadinkadoo; Sentiment-Verve "Heartfelt Thanks"; Background: Hero Arts-Blossom Art
Copic Markers
Gems:  Hero Arts

I'm sure I could/should have added something more.  Seems like 'a plain now.  Maybe I could have rounded the corners on the white CS or added faux stitching in black around it.

Travel Book
I love the word books. I used s.e.i "Black Orchid" papers and some of the matching embellishments. After a road trip this summer, this book will be filled with memories. I had so much fun working on this. I think the papers inspired me. I just love them.
