Good Thursday to all! Thursday's are a day for another challenge and I do hope that you play along with this weeks Pals Paper Art Challenge as we have a super fun sketch to play with! I just love circles and the minute I saw this sketch, endless ideas popped into my head.

Here is the sketch for today and I hope that you pop over to the PPA Website and see what the designers came up with on their take as well as see all of the other fun concepts that have been entered.

There are so many ways that you could go with this! I wanted to  personally stretch myself today and incorporate the (3) elements to be a stamped image, an embossed piece and a sentiment (just something silly that I wanted to do)

Let's break this down…the card is so clean and classic with just a bit of whimsical fun. This stamp set is one of the free stamp sets in Sale-A-Bration….I just love this little bird.

I had fun using the Blendabilities….remember, these gems are so forgiving to even the beginner stamper….they just glide onto the image and the fun thing is….just have fun and keep blending and blending – you'll be so proud of the end results.

The colors I used today were the Daffodil Delight, Soft Sky and Wild Wasabi.

Lifting each of these piece up makes the card have that POP factor as well as I love just using the circle framelits and the Big Shot – quick and easy to run the piece of white with all 3 circles and presto – DONE!

I know that I use DSP a bunch on envelopes but today I wanted to challenge myself to use it on the "front" of the card in a focal way…this is from the Moonlight DSP paper stack – (just love these stacks)

Remember that when you use the blendabilities that you need to use the memento ink pad with them and if I were you….I would also purchase a refill as there is nothing more frustrating than needing to refill a pad to find out that you do not have a refill handy!

Below you will see that I also added the fun to the front of the envelope! This is super fun to do but remember to add a piece of scrap paper down the envelope front so the blendabiites do not bleed through your envelope.

So…a fresh and fun card….right? These Sale-a-bration items are just great this year and remember, for every $50.00 you spend…you can pick a FREEBIE….that in itself deserves a woot-woot! Here is a picture of this fun set I used today!

Please look at the scrolling items that I used today and you can click right on them to order! I am an email away and remember, for every order I receive this month I will send you this super cute card…..

It's hard to believe that it has been 7 weeks since I broke my ankle…I go back next week for an x-ray and I am hoping (fingers crossed) that I can start to put weight on it!

Thank you for your time and thank you for making others smile by creating cards!
