Gonna Take a Sentimental Journey...

Hello friends & followers!  I am honored to be hostessing the first VSN Mini Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers this evening.  The theme of his VSN Is 'Journey's and I was inspired by the song 'Sentimental Journey' to come up with a challenge to make a card where the sentiment is the star.  I created this card:

(please click on the photo for clearer resolution).  I CASEd my friend Candace's card, which can be seen HERE.  I used different patterned papers but used the same layout and the same touching sentiment from There She Goes' 'Angel Mail' set and created some pretty stick pins using her AWESOME tutorial on making stick pins HERE.  (Seriously, once you watch it you are going to want to make stick pins evening, morning and noon - they are pretty and SO much FUN to make!!).  
     This card also fulfills the requirements of the following additional challenges:

• Paper Play Challenge 18 - Use Pins & Pearls with your stamps, 
• Paper Sundaes Challenge 118 - Ribbons & Pearls,
• Crafty Sentiments Challenge - Spots or Stripes (I went with 'stripes'), and
• Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes.

     Thanks so much for stopping by!  Hope you will get a chance to play along with my VSN Challenge - you have a whole WEEK to upload this time, WOO HOO!  Happy Weekend Everyone!
