More Grab Bag Fun!

So, as I may have previously mentioned, I STILL have grab bag goodies sitting around, crying out to me!  I took my next set, which was from a simply sent card kit that I couldn't ID from my own small catalog collection, and combined it with the new "Pursuit of Happiness" stamp set.    I'll be honest - I saw that Desmond Tutu quote, and knew that I needed those stamps!  The Emerson quote just sealed the deal!
For something else new, I also decided to flip through my Cardmaker's Sketchbook for some card ideas.  All these cards are a take on a sketch I found on page 26.  What a neat way to dream up ideas!  The grab bag set I chose to use included Sahara Sand card bases, with accent CS pieces in Always Artichoke, more Sahara Sand, and the now retired Bordering Blue.  Something about that color selection steered me to the Elegant Soiree DSP pack, and the rest is as you see!  The individual cards are in my gallery for up close viewing!
