Mojo Monday #229

I was so inspired by the Mojo Monday Sketch Challenge #229 that I made 5 cards today using it.  Here is the one I settled on as my entry for this challenge.  It's little different from what I would describe as my usual style (I think overall I am mostly a Clean and Simple kind of gal) - but I really liked how it turned out.  There is a small deviation from the sketch but it has all the elements.  Hope you like it!  Check out the Mojo Monday site and see if it inspires you as much too.  This is a sketch I can see myself using many times.  Another bonus with this sketch is being able to use up some of those paper strips (mine are 1" on this card but they could be thinner and spaced further apart too) that we all seem to accumulate but aren't quite able to throw away (LOL).  Thanks for visiting me!
