Parlez-vous francais?........PPA25........

Chocolate chip paper, white embossing powder and a punch or two was all that I needed after seeing PPA's inspiration picture this week! I used this week's Mojo Monday sketch as a guide for my layout. The heart was stamped with swirls from Wedding Sweet and then embossed. A scallopy white ruffle was added around the heart. The secret to the ruffle is the paper crimper - thank you to Jan Tink! Chocolate and saying I love you in French sounds like a perfect combination for Valentine's Day.............

Just one more.............

Ok I am having such a good time making these thank you cards from Jackpot DSP I just had to show you one more - I'll stop now - honest!

Jackpot!.........PPA24.....

Pals Paper Arts sketch challenge this week was designed by Margaret Moody . PPA is lucky to have such a talented artist on their team! I used Jackpot Designer Paper this week along with a bit of punching and a bit of stamping to create some thank you cards to send to my friends who helped me celebrate my recent birthday. I am very lucky to have such terrific friends so I've slipped some lottery tickets inside their cards - hope they hit the jackpot!

Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge 51..........

Flurries..........

There is a flurry of activity these days in my craft room. I have been working on thank you cards for Christmas and birthday gifts. This wonderful chocolate chip felt ribbon takes the chill off those flurries on the Merry Moments Designer Paper. And working on cards takes my mind off of all those flurries outside..........well except maybe for those flurries they sell at Wendy's.........
