It is Thursday and you know what that means….it's time for a Pals Paper Art Challenge….today's challenge is a sketch challenge and the "light-bulb" went off the instant I saw the sketch! I just love it when that happens – seriously, this was a breeze to make and I think it's super cute!
I have 1 question for you….
are you participating???
If not, then this is my 2nd question…
why not???
These weekly challenges are open to EVERYONE and that means YOU! If you are apprehensive to learn how to upload a photo….PLEASE email me….I am VERY COMPUTER CHALLENGED and if I can do it – YOU CAN!!!!
Here is this weeks challenge….it's a great design!
I knew that I want to use the Kind & Cozy Stamp Set as I knew the "circle" theme was going to be perfect! Playing up the theme of the gingham in this stamp set…the next no brainer was the Gingham Garden Paper! Just love it – so fresh and fun!
You just have to pull out old faithful….Stamp-a-ma-jig – it is the easiest to make sure the sentiment goes in the perfect place! I wanted to "play" a bit with some dimension….and I thought a Regal Designer Button would be perfect….I simply added a bit of White Bakers Twine to finish it off!!!
After stamping the gingham circle…it was a cinch to pop out using the 2 1/2" Circle Punch…then I thought….pull out the circle framelits…run it through the Big Shot and create a great Mat for my focal point….again, easy-peasy!!!!
Now I had a blast with the envelope!!! I just love envelopes and today I did a double whammy! I think our Postal people work soooo hard – why not make them smile seeing a cute envelope!
Using the ***NEW Holiday Catalog Envelope Liner Framelit*** I continued the gingham theme with the liner…….and then…..I also continued using the same stamp set and with the help of the Stamp-a-ma-jig….I was able to perfectly line the "cups" up in a row!
I hope that today's post brings a smile to your day and I hope that you know that "I am thinking of YOU" as I am so honored and touched by the amount of comments and support I receive from you! I deeply appreciate it!
Please go to the Pals Paper Art Website and submit a card for this challenge and have fun looking at all of the INCREDIBLE works of art from so many!
Have a great day….and until tomorrow…….

Cute, cute, cute. Love all the gingham! Ready for a BBQ now. Ribs anyone? TFS
One of my favorite sets Susan. And, I love how you used it! Thanks for playing,
Very cute Susan, and I do love the matching envys.
Totally in love with the envelope with the tea cups! Love the gingham, of course, and the fun color combination. Great job as usual. The set is on my wish list but it will have to wait a bit!
So cute Susan! Love the bright colors on this card. The stitching on the edges looks fabulous!
Thank you for sharing.
Love this, Susan! The patterns in the image and the paper coordinate perfectly. Such a clean and classic beauty!
Love this one, Susan, especially the colors:)
Super cute, I thought of this set too! Love the button trim.
Susan, I always love all of your creations! Thanks for playing along with team two.
Such a pretty card, Susan! I love the blue gingham paired with the yellow. The faux stitching is the perfect touch. Thanks for playing with the Pals at Pals Paper Arts!
