Mojo Monday...Vintage White

Oh, I feel like I'm getting in the groove again with Mondays! Kids are back in school, work schedule in place and Mojo Monday inspired! Julee's got a fabulous sketch for us to work with this week and I've also taken my color (or lack of) cues from The Shabby Tea Room's Vintage White inspiration. Here's my neutral, shabby sample for both challenges:

Here's Mojo's sketch:

I've mixed two sets on my card, the "You Make Me Smile" sentiment is from the Thankful Hearts collection and the scripted "love" is from Verve's newest release, You & I. I also mixed paper lines, some of them being from Melissa Frances' Attic Treasures and others from Prima's Printery pack. All edges are sewn and most of them distressed/sponged with a combination of Antique Linen and Vintage Photo distress inks. Speaking of Ranger, I just recently found out that their production plant is only 45 minutes from my house and on October 1st they are having a grand sale! From 9am to 3pm all discontinued and slightly imperfect items are between 50-75% off. Looks like a road trip in my future!

Have a great day and happy crafting!
