Pumpkin Spice and Cardabilties challenges

  Doubly challenged!  I created this card for this week's Shop Pumpkin Spice challenge:

Blue and White and something Round

as well as the current sketch at Cardablities:
I had fun creating this card from my untouched 6x6 BasicGrey "Life of the Party" paper pad.  Two of my bloggie friends (Amy Tsuruta and Julie Tucker-Wolek) have been using hoarded stash for the posts recently instead of just new stash.  They both inspired me to peruse my unloved stash of things I just had to have, but have not used.  I purchased this BasicGrey paper pad two years ago, but have not cut into until today.  Yikes!

Happy Sunday!

Lovely card, June - those papers are gorgeous - what collection are they from? I particularly like that little measuring tape strip.
