OCL Inspired by Challenge 117

Happy Monday Y'all! I hope your weekend was everything you hoped for and for all of the Mom's out there, I hope your Mom's Day was the best ever!

This week on the Our Craft Lounge Blog we were challenged "Pin It" which means we were to create a card that was inspired by something from Pinterest.  If you don't know what Pinterest is, it is a virtual cork board that you can pin things to while you are surfing the net.  If you haven't signed up yet and need an invite, let me know and I will send you one.  You will be hooked!

My card was inspired by the card shown below.  I fell in love with the layout of this card as soon as I saw it and knew it would be perfect for this challenge as it is a layout I could use over and over and create a different look each time.    I added a few more flags, used butterflies in place of the buttons and twine instead of the stitching .  I stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Our Craft Lounge Big Birthday Wishes set.
