a second time.

This was the first card that I made for Lisa Johnson's Poppy Seed Challenge. I liked the brighter colors of my previous post more at first but I keep coming back to this simple card.

Since the requirements were pretty simple to work into a card (hello, buttons!) I had planned on making more than one. And luckily she allows multiple entries! :)

So glad that it's almost the weekend!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

poppy seed challenge.

Hello again! I completed this card for Lisa Johnson's Poppy Seed Challenge #2. The rules are really simple: she gives you a few requirements and you add them into your project anyway you want. How easy is that?! This challenge was to use moss green, polka dots, and buttons.

I enjoyed playing along and hope to create a few more before the challenge deadline. I love the creativity this challenge allows... every entry is so different!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

PTI Birthday Card #2

Hello again!! I squeezed in enough time to make a second entry for the contest over on Nichole's blog.

This cute little digi download is from Dawn McVey. I'm in absolute love with every single thing she creates and this color scheme that I chose today reminds me of that. It's bold and bright and I love it!

The little label has glittered spirals on it but they didn't show up too well in the photo. I also glittered the outside edge of the embellishment.

Sorry the picture quality isn't the greatest! It is wellllll past sunset here.

Have a great night!

Happy Birthday, PTI!

All this week, Papertrey Ink is celebrating their third anniversary. Nichole Heady has TONS of fun challenges and prizes on her blog. So play along!

My card today uses a free download from Niki Estes. At first I wasn't sure about the colors since the cute little present was already colored for me. So this forced me out of my comfort zone a little and I LOVE IT. These colors are gorgeous together and I just like how everything turned out.

The patterned paper is PTI Bitty Dots, the sentiment is from Mega Mixed Messages, and the buttons are aqua mist vintage from (of course) PTI!

I'm already so excited for tonight's post and of course all the countdown and new releases coming soon!

Have a great night. I'm going to try and get a couple more cards finished before the deadline.

Thanks for stopping by!
