I've played with a beautiful fall set called Bountiful Harvest (temporarily sold out....sorry!).  This set has been on my wish list since it came out......now it's mine.  :)  The pattern paper is from the happy-go-lucky collection by Fancy Pants.  This plaid paper was the perfect backdrop for my sentiment.  The banner die is from the latest release called Award Banner.  You can not see it here but I've added Wink of Stella glitter pen in clear to several areas.
 
Of all my blessings
