Today is Sunday, May 25th and that means it is time again for the PTI Blog Hop and oh my...this month's theme is just beautiful. I love these colors! Aqua and Melon, so pretty together. I pulled out some NBUS to play with today...the butterflies, aren't they just gorgeous? I am not a butterfly person at all but I have to say that I love theses, so sweet and delicate. I made my background using Circle and Scribbles, another fabulous stamp set!
My second card is for this week's challenges at Colourq # 242, CASology #96, cue card - Flowers, Inkspirational #57 - Bloom and One-Layer Simplicity #5 - Fabulous Flowers. I had so much fun making this card...I love the bright and vibrant colors this week and it was fun to turn Circles and Scribbles into sweet posies.
Yesterday I got to play with Darnell from djkardkreations and Harriet from Ally Cat Cards...we met for a craft session and lunch. I showed them how to make the PTI coin purses and how my, what a fun day we had. A few times I was laughing so hard I was in tears. These two ladies are so sweet and so much fun. Here are a few photos from our day. Thank you so much for stopping by...have a wonderful rest of your weekend!
So pretty! So glad you guys had fun!
