The second challenge for January at Pals Paper Arts is a Sketch Challenge (PPA127) using this simple sketch I designed for you (shown left)! I hope you'll join us and give it a try! I associate the color gray with the dreary winter days of January. Add sunny yellow to the mix and those blah, gray days seem a bit brighter and happier! Flowers make it even that much better! One of my favorite sentiments on the card says it all!
See what my fellow PPA Design Team members did with the sketch by clicking here! I'm sure you'll be inspired! Use your favorite paper crafting brands and supplies and create a card using the sketch! Our challenge is not exclusive to Stampin’ Up! products only! Get all the details for "how to play at PPA" by clicking here! I can't wait to see what you create!
I'm planning to attend the Stampin' Up! Regionals Conference in San Antonio this Saturday! If you're attending too, I hope to see you there!

Stunning card! Did you stamp the flowers on Daffodil Delight paper and then frame with white or is that DD ink on white paper?
Beautiful! Have fun in San Antonio!
