Happy Place

Pin It Happy Wednesday!  I just wanted to share a quick card I made for this week's challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays.  The challenge this week was to use colors on opposite ends of the color wheel...  Interesting!

My natural tendency was to go toward the blue and orange (especially when you could really go turquoise/tangerine which is kinda hot!  :)  -- but then I laid eyes on this super-cute stamp set from Paper Smooches (called "Get Outta Town" -- how cute is that?!) and just knew where I had to go!  So, purple and yellow it is!  (Sounds like a really bad band uniform, huh?)

(Note:  contrary to what this card would have you believe, I am NOT a big drinker -- however, I have been known to sip a fruity adult beverage from time to time!  :)

Additionally:  (BIG News!!)  I am submitting this card for the Paper Smooches Design Team Call.  I was inspired by the following inspiration photo and used it as a sketch:

The frames reminded me of my favorite embossing folder (!) and I loved the pop of yellow in the bottom right...  (But man, I wish my parties could look this fancy!)

Thanks for stopping by!  I hope you like it -- would love to hear from you!  Hoping you find your Happy Place tonite!  :)

Forever Love

Pin It One of my really good friends is getting married in a couple of weeks and I am so thrilled for her!  She has been waiting for this day for so long and it's finally here, so I thought I would make her a card that speaks to the commitment she is making and the power of a love meant to endure!

I love the colors over at The Play Date Cafe this week -- they are perfect for a spring wedding!  

I also used this week's sketch over at CPS...  Just a simple, easily adaptable sketch -- my favorite kind!!!

  

And last, but definitely not least, I am submitting this card for the Paper Smooches DT Call (announced today!).  I used the inspiration photo from the following Sparks Challenge (which I love!):

Thank you so much for stopping by...  I hope you enjoy this card.  I'll be back tomorrow with a new project to share!  See you then!
