PPA204 Sketch Challenge

I've designed a simple sketch that gives you a great space for stamped images, as well as the perfect space for showcasing a bit of designer paper! Remember, with a sketch, nothing is set in stone! Work it however you'd like! I can't wait to see what you create!

Color Challenge at PPA

 

We have our first Color Challenge (PPA202) for May at Pals Paper Arts and we're hoping you'll join us and play along!  I love this bright, fun color palette!  It worked great for a clean and simple graduation card, featuring my favorite star image from the Simply Stars set (sad it's retiring).  You could make this card work for almost any occasion by just changing out the sentiment. It would make a cute baby card for a mother expecting a baby boy or a great masculine birthday card!

Please let me know what you think by leaving me a comment below!  I always love hearing from you!  Be sure to check out what the other PPA Resident Artists did with this colorful trio too!  You're going to love their creations!

Baby Card for Friend

The design for this cute onesie card by Lauren Meader has been around for quite some time in the papercrafting world!  I needed a card for a special friend who is expecting her very first baby in May!  Can you tell by the print pattern and colors what she's having?  If you guessed a girl, you're right!  I'm terrible about making a card to give away and forgetting to photograph it before doing so.  I had some extra time to snap a shot of it and post it to share!  This design is fun to make using solids or different patterned prints and can easily be adapted for a boy or a girl!  Enjoy!

Paper:  Whisper White card stock; Designer Series Paper Pattern Stack/Brights Collection; medallion patterned paper (my paper stash)
Tools:  1-3/8" Circle Punch, 1-3/4" Scallop Circle Punch, Dotted Scallop Ribbon Border Punch/ 1/16" Handheld Circle Punch
