Hey there...WMSC94 44

Hi there! Hope you are all having a great weekend! After returning home from vacation, I needed some inspiration to get papercrafting MOJO jump started, so I joined along with this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge: To create my card, I combined a sentiment from Compact Sentiments with a pretty wreath pattern stamp from Faux Fun Circles which coordinates perfectly with a Spellbinders Standard Circles SM die template.
