Getting creative with borders

Hi there!

We are challenged to incorporate borders in an innovative way at moxie fab world... I've had this border punch for a while... feeling a bit guilty for not using it...so I thought... let's get creative!

At cas-ualfridays, they are "getting edgy" . Combined the 2 challenges for a clean and simple card.

This is what I came up with!

Lovely as a Lullaby

I had a nice surprise this morning when I signed into blogger... my dashboard said..."20 followers"!
My eye caught the phrase, "followers are people interested in your blog". So to each and every one of my 20 followers out there... a BIG THANK YOU for being interested in my blog! Because 5 months ago, when I started my blog, I didn't even THINK about followers, I only wanted to learn... and play... of course!

On to my card for today!

Its the Tuesday trigger at moxiefabworld!

The moment I saw the polkas and stripes, I knew I just had to create something, because ~ I LOVE POLKADOTS! ~ The colours reminded me of a little girl... and when I read "lovely as a lullaby", I remembered this image I chose for winning a previous challenge.

The image is from stretch 'n bubbles

I used the sketch from truly scrumptious #59 to compose my card.
