Bold Thanks card for a fun blog hop

Hi everyone!  As I was scrolling through my Google Reader tonight, I say my BFF Charlene, blogged about a fun blog hop and I just had to play along!   As you know, getting published is a long road that is FULL of rejection.  The last Paper Crafts Go-To Sketches call had over 2750 entries!  ZOWIE -that's alot of fabulous cards they had to chose from.  So, with only 288 cards actually making the issue, Amber has started a blog hop for anyone who wants to share a card or two that didn't make the cut!  Fun, huh?!?

I am lucky to have 1 card selected for the issue, but thought I would join the hop and show a card I made for sketch #11 that was not chosen.  I used a sentiment from Technique Tuesday's Thanks For Everything set, and some more of the washi Decorative Tape by American Crafts.  Crazy fun stuff! 
You can find a link to all the sketches here.  Lots of inspiration in this list!!  I can't wait to see the issue. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!  I will leave you with a close up picture.
P.S.  I didn't hear from Cassandra, who was the winner of my blog candy.  So, I chose another commenter!
