Thursday are the FUN days that the PPA Challenge comes out with either a new sketch or a new color combo for you to be inspired with and then for you to play with the PALS! It is fun, it is rewarding  and it is super great to see your work online!

Today’s sketch is from the AMAZING  ~ Mary Fish….I am blessed to have her as my direct upline but even better to have her as a friend! She is the “Queen of Clean” . I admit, I was just like her, just bought the “ultimate bundle” to get a discount….but we stayed, and I am glad! I do hope that you play with this clean and simple sketch!

This is the first time I have used this Bundle, Sunshine Sayings and this one is sooooooo “right up my alley” – to me, you get the best of both worlds…a great stamp set but the coordinating framlits are WOW….this FUN FLOWER and more shapes but the “word sentiments” – I am in heaven!

Do you see the dimension on the flower? I used “fun foam”, remember the stuff that you played with when you were young? I like the white as it goes with just about everything and it cuts perfectly through the Big Shot with our framelits and dies. I used the “green glue” to adhere them together!

I do not know about you….but I think that the flower is so whimsical yet classic (I think that is why I love it – it can go many ways).  I cut part of it in Daffodil Delight, and then the stem in Cucumber Crush.

I used the linen thread to hide the start and stop of these 2 colors! A simple glue dot works each and every time! A quick chat about this embossing folder – AMAZING….right? To me it is timeless and just plain FUN – The new platform for the Big Shot really helps the texture come to life!

Copper is hot…it is all over the place and I think that SU outdid themselves with this DSP! The slight POP of Copper makes this DSP so unique. The thing that I like about this paper is the fact that the copper is very subtle, but you know it is there so when you use it – all you need is a “wee bit”, just enough to make a simple statement.

One last look at this fun card. I hope that it makes you smile as much as it does me. The textures, the fun paper, the simple flower and the great layout makes this a “keeper card”. Please remember that a simple layout works. Pop over to the Pals Paper Art Website to see what the other designers came up with and then I hope that you will play!

Below you will see the “scoop” of the “ins and outs” of products that I used to this fun card. Shopping in your jammies is FUN…and I know that many of you are “early birds” – I do not know about you but when I get up early….I have a GREAT DAY! Let’s all have a great day!

I hope to see you tomorrow as I am going to share a “Blast from the past” with measurements, you will smile…promise! 🙂
