OK, probably not the kind of Brad that Pals Paper Arts had in mind for the challenge, but you can't blame a girl, can you?!
For this week's challenge I used one of my favorites, the Build-a-Brad. It's incredibly versatile, and you can create it to complement any card or paper craft project. (It's a must-have.) Add that to my other favorite embellishment, a button, and it's nearly as perfect as Mr. Pitt !!
It's that time again--another fabulous sketch challenge by the amazing Margaret Moody. You know that makes me smile.
This week's Sketch Challenge at Pals Paper Arts brings this gorgeous sketch from which to draw inspirations. And inspired I was. I immediately thought of using my fun Button, Button stamp set that I got free from Stampin' Up. (wanna know how YOU can earn free stuff from Stampin' Up? Click here to send me an e-mail and I'll be happy to share with you how you can.) And of course I then needed to use lots of buttons to coordinate with the stamp set. I do so adore using buttons on a card. Stampin' Sunshine indeed!!
I love weddings. Whether it is a formal, serious event (I'm looking at you, William and Kate!!) or something a bit more relaxed and casual, a wedding is a beautiful, special occasion. And today's Pals Paper Arts challenges is celebrating all things wedding.
I love the soft, subtle colors, and the beautiful elegance in the inspiration picture. I wanted to play off those elements in my card. Simple and classic, I love it. And now I'm off to look for some (wedding) cake!!
I love it when I'm challenged to use colors that aren't necessarily always in my standard color choices, and this week's Pals Paper Arts challenge does just that. Pear Pizzazz has long been a favorite, and I think I can add Poppy Parade and Peach Parfait to my growing list of go-to colors.
Our challenge this week was to use these gorgeous colors. I think you'll agree that they are a delicious combination. I used the softer colors as the frame and let the Poppy Parade be the pop of color. And a few sparkly rhinestones are never a bad thing on a card!!
