My very first Pals Paper Arts Challenge! Being part of the Pals is so much fun and I know that each and every month they have great and fun challenges but I have never participated…..until today! I walked slowly down the diving board and took a big jump!

The way I look at it is that you need to start somewhere but more importantly to me…I want to have fun creating and relaxing by doing what I love! Creating works from my heart! Well….what do you think! Please give me some feedback – I think it turned out super-fun!

Here is the challenge sketch for todays challenge….please go to the Pals Paper Arts Challenge and see all of the great cards that show such talent from so many from all over!

Earlier this week, I shared with you how I took apart a wheel…and again, this is another card that I did the same! If you want to revisit a video from my upline, Mary Fish….click here!This stamp is the Take a Sip Wheel Stamp…too cute and I stamped it with the StazOn Black on Water Color paper and then I let my inner Picasso come out and I used the Aqua Painter to water color some details!

Are you wondering where this sentiment is from…..Friendly Phrases….but I masked the"on your new baby" just to get the "congratulations"!!!

Fun trick – sticky notes are the BEST!

Don't you love that ribbon….so natural and sooo easy to tie in a knot! Now that's my kinda ribbon – Natural Trim Ribbon! The printed paper came from the Comfort Cafe Designer Paper! Not only was this card fun to make…it will be a gem to give as I have a special friend that just achieved a milestone…..and being the coffee lover she is…this is a perfect card to give her kudos and inspiration along with a gift card to her favorite "Java Place"

As always, I am a click away and I would love to help you achieve your goals….teach you new tricks of the trade or better yet – have a one on one private session with you to be able to inspire and give you my time! I love what I do and I love helping others achieve their goals!
