Happy Birthday Bunch!

A lot of balloons is how you do it! 

 Another take on my card from last week's class.

 I love the sentiment here from You're So Lovely! 

 So glad I got this set! Well, both of these sets!

I hope you have a lovely Monday!

FMS226 Hello Spring!

I had an extra Blushing bride base cut and started there.  

I decided on some DSP with dots to show off my pretty ribbon that 

I have been hoarding but need to use!

I stamped the flower twice in Blushing Bride and cut one smaller to layer. 

Not so good at fussy cutting!

I used a retired leaves die and then added the sentiment
also from the same set as my flower-Crazy About You!
Very quick but adorable card in minutes!
I hope you have a fab weekend...my baby girl arrives today for spring break!
Happy happy Happy!

PPA 290 A Nice Cuppa Hello!

I choose my DSP first this time
 and then went from there with colors and stamp set, etc.
Not a bad plan because the DSP gives you your color combo
 and the matching stamp set and dies make it quick and easy.
It is bright card but fun and I hope you can play along this week!
And have fun with this sketch!

Criss Cross Card Boxes!

I made these Criss Cross card holders for the guests at my class

 this week to carry home their creations-cards!  

I used retired DSP and ribbon along with retired card stock. 

 These are just a few of the colors I made.

 The tutorial for these are on

PP284 Thinking Of You Spring!

I looked on my friend and fellow Pal, Brian King's blog Sunday( stampwithbrian.com) 

and saw some beautiful spring color combos.

 So I decided to challenge myself to use one I would not have put together 

on my own for this great sketch challenge.

  I picked up Smoky Slate, Pink Pirouette and Soft Sky but then what to do with them? 

 I knew a quick stamp I could punch out would be helpful in time

 so I reached for my Flower Shop stamps and matching punch! 

 Flowers are so soft but gave it a little boldness

 with the script design from the Neutrals DSP in Smoky Slate.  

Join the challenge over at thepaperplayers.blogspot.com!
