Two cards for Sunday and more....


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! 


May-Blog-Hop-Inspiration

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!

  5. What a sparkly fun post, first with your cards and then with the photos of the three of you, crafting, giggling, creating, enjoying! You can predict my response to your first card, with those luscious butterflies...full-on swooning!! Gorgeous colours, and the swirly flowers...perfect to convey 'movement'. LOVE x LOVE this! Your second - scribbly flowers tranformed into posies = happy!! We'll be heading home today (me in tears), but know that seeing your cards and reading your comments goes MILES in bringing back smiles! Hugs~c

  49. You lucky, lucky ladies! Getting to hang out together must be a blast!!!

    The butterflies are gorgeous, the scribbles are fun! Great choice of colors for both styles of cards! If the shipping wasn't so darn high, I'd be ordering every new release! The butterflies really have me thinking that it's time to bust the budget and order, regardless of the $$$ shipping!
