PPA108 - Soften the Edges

Pals Paper Arts is hosting a CAS Elements of Style challenge (PPA108) this week and we're asking you to "Soften the Edges"!  My card for this week's challenge was fast, easy, and fun to make!  I used punches to soften the edges of this simple yet contemporary Halloween card!  A few strips of patterned paper, a trio of buttons, and a simple greeting and you're done!  This design could easily be adapted for so many different occasions!  It literally took less than 10 minutes to put together! 

If you like this week's card, please leave me a comment!  I love hearing from you and appreciate all the wonderful feedback you share with me each week!

Now it's your turn!  See what my fellow PPA Design Team members and this week's featured artist, Nicole Watt, have done with this week's challenge!  Then, get out your supplies and get busy!  I can't wait to see what you make!

PPA107 - Sketch Challenge

 
Computer problems were the source of my absence the past two weeks from PPA, but I'm happy to report they're all straightened out now and everything is good!  Thanks for hanging in there with me!

Today's card was made for this week's Sketch Challenge (PPA107) hosted by Pals Paper Arts!  It's a simple sketch that can easily be "dressed up or down" and one I hope you'll enjoy trying out!  My card features patterns from "Just Add Cake" DSP on a card base of Early Espresso.  I love the fun circles in the background print, so I chose to repeat the design by featuring them on the four squares!  This card looks time-consuming, but it really comes together quickly and easily with the use of basic square and circle punches!

Please leave me a comment!  I always love hearing from all of you and I'm always happy to answer any questions you might have about my work!  Let me know what you think about this week's card (or any others, for that matter)!
