O.k…..I know that many of you are going to get a great laugh out of this one! I am on the design team for the Pals Paper Art and the team that I am on is every other Thursday!

Does this below post look familiar to you? Here I was all worried that I did not have the supplies (as I was in a hotel with Hannah) and low and behold – I totally forgot that there were 5 weeks in the month so last week was a "bye" week!

So……I hope that you enjoy this card this week as much as you did last week! Enjoy!

Happy Thursday and you know what today is….it is the day that the Pals Paper Art Challenge starts! This week it is a color challenge (my favorite) and this is a fun palette to play with! How about coming out and playing this week – I would love to see your work of art in the gallery, I know you can…I believe in YOU!

How about these colors…aren't they fun! Now this is MY KINDA CARD….super clean and simple!

Before I get to the fun today I have to share "a funny" with you…I took 4 pieces of paper with me to convention, the 3 colors above and a piece of Very Vanilla. I thought that I would knock out a card while I was at convention…well that never happened.

The stamp set I used today was Something to Say…(whew, that was given to all of us at convention) so I knew I would use that stamp set….when I arrived to Hannah's, the box that John shipped did not arrive but I had send some things back with Hannah (Big Shot, the die & some punches) when she was home for Art's funeral.

I made this card with no trimmer….just a pair of paper snips…. and the pearl was given to us at convention….so this was a "wing it" card with what I had to work with and it turn out just fine! I need to turn my picture of my card in early in the week so I just worked with I had…

This card is a great example of how you take what you have to work with….sit back and see how it can work out and GO FOR IT!

I love this BIGZ die…I have found so many ways to use it and I will say that it has paid for itself time after time! Why do I like it so much??? Well, the flowers for sure but I also like the branch with leaves. You can see to the right of the below picture that the main intention of this is to make flowers….(I have never tried yet)….remember, I am "Simple Susan)!

I hope that this shows you to look out of the box when you look at products…I have used this die many, many times and I find it to be super fun to mix up colors and add a fun POP!

The outer liner was still from the same sheet of paper, I just love this 6" X 6" size and the fact that you get (4) sheets of each print….WOWZERS!

Also, using old faithful, the white gel pen always adds a fun flair. TIP" – Remember to always store it on its side and I always squiggle a circle before I take it to my project for the dashes and dots!

Please do not forget about the 1/2 Paper Pumpkin Deal……you can click here to go to the Paper Pumpkin Site and you can get your 1st 2 month at half off…but I am SUPER excited as they have just added the refills from the Thanks a Latte Refill Kit and YEP  – I have already put it on an order, this makes up such a fun card! For just $1.00 a card which is adorable, how can you go wrong?

Remember, you need to be a Paper Pumpkin Customer to be able to purchase past kits and refills….so how can you lose getting the 2 months at half off and if you want some of the past kits (I would definitely get the shaker card one)

Enjoy the day..Until tomorrow my friends!
