Thinking of You

I have been a long-time fan of Melissa Phillips and Papertrey Ink and I try as often as possible to play along in their Make it Monday Challenges, but sometimes I miss out.  So, this week they have a challenge where you can make a project for any of the challenges you missed this year.  This is my third project for this week's challenge with them.  I've never actually won, but....who knows?  The same is true of Simon Says Stamp and their challenges.  Nope, I've never won (I mean, really.....random draw out of hundreds or thousands of names??  Good luck!)  But, somebody has to win.  So, why not me?  Or at least I can dream.
These are the challenges I'm entering with this card:
 
http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/make-it-monday-97-participants.html%20 - Nichole Heady/Papertrey Ink Make it Monday Challenge #97 - I chose to recreate Challenge #48 - Creating Backgrounds With Border Dies - The Papertrey Ink products I used on this card include:  Border Die-Cut, Jute, Ink and Stamped Sentiment.

    I really love it Karen..

    ... and re challenges have trouble going back and checking as they all end at different times and reckon if have won have missed the prize as when seem to go back it is is not showing as drawn yet..
    So wonder sometimes why I enter.. which is not often I guess..
    Lovely colours and love your faith post below too! so very true - the faith of the size of a grain of mustard seed - now that is where our focus should be, especailly atthis near New year time, love in Him, Shaz in oz.x

    Hi Karen - that is a lovely card there! Very nicely created - and you could win at Simon Says - I thought the same until my number came up! What a surprise for me - and I went to the store and spent my money ASAP too! It came quickly as well - so I wish you the best - keep hanging in there! There are two different challenges you know and both give $50 - you should try them both if you haven't already - have a great week! Love you card! Just lovely! Gail

    This is exquisite, Karen! Well worth a win so I hope you keep creating and trying! At least we get to enjoy your wonderful creations, but I'm certainly cheering a win for you on this lovely. I especially love that ribbon. Such gorgeous details...the pearl swirls, dainty die cuts, and pretty flowers.
