Destination Paradise

I've got two tickets to paradise.
Pack a bag and we'll leave tonight.

This song is stuck in my head since I started working on this card.  lol!  Card making is a world outside of my box.  I just had to give it a go though with Craft Hoarder's challenge #6 sketch with a twist.  The twist is what hooked me.  Use something old from your stash and something new.  I have sooooooo much paper from at least 10 years or better.  Cross my heart I do!! 

 So, I thought if I was going to challenge myself then I should step outside my comfort zone and do it right.  I call it "Destination Paradise".  The base paper is an old My Minds Eye paper followed by a shinny cardstock piece I found and then to complete this mis mash we have the ever classic Graphic 45.  The jute bow is new.  I just bought a spool of it.  Love the stuff.
 The shells are also new but the micro beads are old.
Thanks for stopping by to see what the papers are saying today.  Oh and by the way thank all of you who have become my new followers.  I so appreciate it.  Only 3 more to go to reach my goal!!
