Today is the second day of Papertrey Ink's 5th anniversary extravaganza and the challenge was to create with the freebie digital stamps that were revealed for us.  This cassette tape caught my eye and I immediately knew I needed to make a mix tape happen.  To go with the retro feel, I went with a great Beatles song, All You Need Is Love, which I just so happened to have a stamp that said that.  *wink*

This is the inspiration photo from Papertrey Ink's November Blog Hop Challenge.  I was immediately drawn to the toile-esque wrapping paper and the gingham pattern of the furniture. Using the red, green, and white color scheme with a hint of silver I came up with this card:

I was a few minutes too late uploading my image to enter this round, but I see this as a great test run and learning experience.  This was the first ever blog hop--let alone challenge--I have tried to participate in. I did make this card in twenty minutes, which has to be an all-time record for me. ;)
