PPA 201: Sketch Challenge



Hello my friends!!!  I hope you all enjoyed our challenge last week at the Pals Paper Arts for our 200th celebration!!  We were so excited to see everyone's project!!  This week Team 2 has another sketch challenge for you.  When I saw this sketch I immediately saw the "Z" fold card in the sketch.  I was so excited!!  Believe me, that doesn't happen very often.  Most of the time I'm transfixed at my desk contemplating my next move.  One time my husband looked in on me and I didn't even notice.  I guess he had been standing at the door a few minutes.  All I remember him saying was "Amy, are you all right?"  I looked up and blinked a couple of times and said "Sure. Why?"  He just rolled his eyes and walked away.  LOL!!  Anyway, here's my card below:



Here's a look at the inside:


The flower in the center I made with the Mosaic Punch.  I saw this flower done originally from a follow Pal, Debbie Mageed.  You can see her incredible creation HERE.  Is this the most incredible work?  Absolutely fabulous!!!  Thank you Debbie for the inspiration!!!

PPA 199 - Color Challenge



Hello everyone!!!  How exciting!!  Spring is here in South Texas!!!  The wild flowers and blue bonnets are blooming in the Spring sunshine!!!  Love it!!  What do you think about these colors?  Are these not fabulous or what?
Such beautiful Spring colors!!!

This week I decided to use the stamp set Tea Party and Afternoon Picnic for the DSP.
Here's my card below:


The stamp reminded me of time I spent with my daughter over the past week when we were in Seattle.  We sat and had many heartfelt moments together catching up over the weeks we've been a part.  We talked over tea, lot's of coffee and even over champagne.  Each moment was a celebration of just being together!!  Gosh I miss her already!!!

PPA 197 - Sketch Challenge


Hi everyone!!!  Exciting news to share!!  I'm in Seattle visiting my daughter Amanda for Spring break!!!  It's been so wonderful seeing her!!!  I've missed my girl!!!  It suppose to rain the entire time I'm here, but that makes no difference to me.  We have just been dashing here in there and catching up sitting in the amazing coffee houses all over downtown!!

Today's sketch offers so much for the imagination!!  I can't wait to see the creations you offer us Pals!!!  It's incredible the works of art you create!!!   Today's card is in honor of fabulous Seattle area with it's fresh seafood and amazing coffee!!  What do you think?


The fish netting in the back is actually cheese cloth to represent the two panels in the sketch.   The crab was so much fun to make!!!  I found several punch art tutorials online.  The tutorial that inspired me most was from Mercedes Weber.  Her blog is HERE.  Wow!!  What an amazing job she did!!

PPA 195 - Color Challenge





Hi everyone!!!  It's Spring break here in Texas and around most of the state!!  It's just been gorgeous here the past couple of days!!!
Don't you love these colors today?  These couldn't have come at a better time!!  I'm so ready for gardening and cool evenings on the patio.  Today's card was completely inspired by these past couple of gorgeous days.    Here's my card below:


This Saturday is my sisters birthday.  She has been dealing with a REALLY harsh winter in West Virginia....along with everyone else on the East Coast.  When I saw these colors, the Watercolor Wonder DSP and the over the top cute Vivid Vases; I new immediately I had to make a happy fun card for her.    I used the Banner Punch I got FREE from the Sale-A-Bration catalog to make the sun burst and the Honeycomb Embossing Folder to add texture for the background.  So much fun!!!!!
