I'm the hostess with definitely NOT the mostest this week at Freshly Made Sketches. I was totally thinking sunflower and then I saw the inspiration photo at Fusion and went a different direction. I think it would have been prettier in browns and yellows now that I look at it. Hindsight, right?! lol I do love the new Hardwood background. It's one of the best stamps we've ever had I think.
I am really looking forward to seeing the entries this week. I just love cards with banners!
