Greenhouse Gala.......

This week's sketch at Stamping 411 was just perfect to showcase this designer paper.  Greenhouse Gala is over the top gorgeous and just like a beautiful dress it doesn't need a lot of accessories to shine.  Real Red satin ribbon, an image from Friends Never Fade and this card is ready to head out!

Oh the Places You'll Go..........

It's that time of year - everyone seems to be on the move!  It's the season of graduations, weddings, retirements and vacations.  Welcome Neighbor DSP and Daffodil Delight set the background for my "moving" card. Button balloons with baskets made from a stamped squiggle from Playful Pieces and part of the cone from Sweet Scoops are soaring off to new adventures!  The sentiment from Asian Artistry is perfect framed in Melon Mambo.  I followed Margaret Moody's sketch at Pals Paper Arts this week but changed it up just a bit by having the card open differently as you can see here. 

As for me, I have graduated, married and retired so I guess all that's left is vacation!  I'm going to Graceland..........................

Someday........

Someday I will actually complete a Mojo Monday card on Monday........instead of finishing it in the last ten minutes of a Wednesday!   On the bright side this will be sent to a friend who just broke her wrist and it should get to her before her cast comes off in four weeks........hmmm maybe if it were Mojo Monthly I'd have a chance!

Summer's Top Five......PPA47......

Pals Paper Arts summer theme led me to create this card using the Sweet Sunday Sketch.  I love summer and here are my Top Five Reasons why:

                     5.  No heat bills

                     4.  Extra hours of daylight

                     3.  Campfires by the lake

                     2.  Reading on the beach

                                    AND

                     1.  The guys do most of the cooking!
