Frankly My Dear

Happy Monday! I had a marvelous time with my parents here for their birthdays. We took them to see Red Green's Wit & Wisdom tour, and we all enjoyed it. It was pretty clean humour for the whole family.
My card today is for the great new Playing in Paradise challenge over at Scrapbooker's Paradise. You are supposed to be inspired by or use a quote or title from your favourite book. Isn't that a great idea for a challenge? My all-time favourite book (and movie, for that matter) is Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell and I used the final sentence of the novel (or rather a part of it) to create this card of encouragement.



With my inspiration:




Close up of the quote:




And the inside, "You're on my mind, and in my heart.":



I hope you decide to give this challenge a try.

Great card, love the textures with the papers and the images. Great book to use as the inspiration, love Gone with the Wind. The background paper reminds me of the scene she uses the drapes for a dress :) very pretty and oh so perfect.
