One-Layer Simplicity #19

Hello...just a real quick post with my card for One-Layer Simplicity. I had my card all planned out using my new sweet penguins from MFT, thinking I am going to cut this cute little guy out with the matching dies and then it hit me....it's one layer! Oh well, so I changed up my idea and I have to say I really love the way it turned out. Love this sweet little penguin with just a wee bit of an attitude! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy your week!

Happy Monday...I have one card to share today. I made a second card for the current challenge at Muse: Christmas Vision, just love using black and red for Christmas cards, love the striking look it gives cards. I am entering my card in 3 challenges, Muse, Paper Smooches - Anything Goes and One-Layer Simplicity - Sparkle & Shine ( I used black heat embossing for my trees, but I could not get the shine to show up in my photo).

I was up early this morning...watched a few episodes of I Love Lucy and have a loaf of banana nut bread in the oven. House smells pretty good right about now.

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! 

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!
