This week's inspiration has so many options with colors, quilts, hearts, stripes--whatever suits you. After considering lots of possibilities, I opted to pull out my COPIC markers to make blended stripes. This is a technique I learned from Nicole's PTI MIM 4 years ago. It's really simple & fun. 
Plus it makes me feel a little less guilty that I have lots of COPICS & have never learned to color--haha! The design of the sentiments in the Penny Black set from 2009 has always appealed to me & the thank you fit perfectly in my design.
