Papertrey Ink Make it Monday #236 and Muse Challenge #147


Hello...tomorrow is Friday, looking forward to a quiet crafty weekend. Once again I am a wee bit behind in comments, I had some minor surgery on Monday and am working hard to get to every one's blog. One of my goals this year is to stay caught up on commenting, I love seeing all your wonderful cards and creations.

I have two cards to share today, PTI's Make it Monday is first. I fell in love with Betsy's card when she made it last year and had so much fun doing my best to recreate it. I loved stringing the fabulous sequins, they look so festive. 

Confetti-1
Betsy's fabulous card!



My second card is for the new challenge at Muse, what a fun inspiration card by Michele. I had fun making this one too. Thanks so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy the rest of your week.

Michele's inspiration card!

  16. Oh my gosh! I almost pulled out that little loop de loop die and used it on my Muse card! So glad you did; it just works perfectly on your gorgeous card! Sweet little polka dots and love that little cup. Your MIM card is also full of light and fun. The white on white with those bright colors and the sequin string is so cool. Love them both. Hope you are feeling at least 99.99999...% better by now. Miss You. Bev
