Does this look familiar?
I have used some of the elements that I have on my blog design.
My blog background is from *Cutest Blog on the Block*, but since there was no header to go with it, I purchased the kit so that I could make my own header.

Below is the cute card that inspired me...
I saw it at Scrapbook.com
After seeing this I wanted to do a *country* card.
I really do love *country* and roosters....I have a few of them around my home. I thought that these backgrounds etc would work perfectly.
I did a patchwork background and stitched around the edges, except for the one on the lower right, which I distressed. The edges of all four are inked with distress ink. The rooster is embossed to round him out a bit, and then stuck on with pop dots. Ribbon & buttons from my stash. I didn't add a sentiment yet. Sometimes I don't until I know who I'm giving it to, then I can add something appropriate.
A closer look...
