New Blog Look and Card Patterns sketch featurning Pink Paislee's Soiree

Happy Saturday! And I gladly welcome Spring Break! It's been a hectic semester, but I am excited to say that when I return to school, we will have new computers and they will be hooked up to our new SMART boards! We are such a lucky district, in which voted on a new bond to retrofit some of the older campuses! I will actually be excited to return to school in 9 days!

I have started off my Spring Break with a little bit of craftyness! Yesterday, I updated the look of my blog and brought in some super fun yellows and greys, let me know what you think! And this morning, I created a card for someone's birthday using Pink Paislee's new Soiree collection! Absolutely fabulous line of products!

I used Card Pattern's Sketch 106!

Great sketch, love the diagonal divide!

Materials Used:

Cardstock: Bazzill

Patterned Paper/Chipboard die cuts: Pink Paislee

Raffia: Target

Ribbon: I think it is Maya Road... but I am not 100% sure...



August 1st Stuck!? Sketch

Ok. So today I have been scrappin' away! Made two layouts, one is missing the pictures and the other is using a sketch from the challenge blog Stuck?! They have some great sketches and some great prizes! I suggest if you have time to check it out! Here is the sketch!

And here is my interpretation!

All patterned paper is from Pink Paislee's Queen Bee Collection and the flowers are Bazzill, the ribbon and button came from my stash!

I knew I needed to finish another LO for our wedding album! Slow and steady wins the race! He He!
