Here is my creation using the Crocheted Circle Die, Serve the Lord, and Simple Things.



The designer paper is from Prima Botanical.  Some of the pieces are dry embossed.  The seam binding ribbon is one I received from a dear friend in a RAK.  The flourishes are created using the Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish.  The sentiment on the bottom of the easel card is framed with a Classic Oval die from Spellbinders.  The butterflies are made with a Martha Stewart Classic Butterfly punch.  



 The Next stop on the hop is Julie...I know she will have lots of inspiration for you!
