__________________________________

 I used a tri-fold design with an embossed image on both "doors", distress inked edges, flowers with pearl accents and lace ribbon to hint of vintage for this challenge. There are images here of the front, one door open and a close-up..
 The sentiment was handwritten.  For the sweet image of "Mary" I wanted to add some sheep and for the life of me could not find my sheep stamps!   Soooo I ended up using a sticker - for me that is a first - I'm kinda a purist when it comes to stamping.  It was a stretch for me to take up using digis.
