Curtain Call - Key Lime

I got to play with some new-to-me Papertrey Ink goodies while at a craft weekend in February!
Those goodies helped me whip up a sweet and simple card with a spring feel to go along with the newest Curtain Call challenge!

Hello Summer...SMILE

All you'll see me doing these days is just that!  SMILE-ing!

I LOVE SUMMER...and am having a ball playing along in some awesome paper crafting challenges, and trying some techniques...some old, some new!

The Papertrey Ink Make It Monday Challenge this week is the Baby Wipe Stamping technique!  This is an oldie, but a goodie!  I paired this fun technique up with Lesley's sketch at The Challenge, and the Moxie Fab World Challenge! 

The Carta Bella Hello Again papers seem like they're made for these cool Papertrey Ink stamps and dies that I used on my card!  There's also a sprinkling of my favorite sequins from Pretty Pink Posh to jazz it all up a bit!

Happy Birthday - Papertrey Ink May Blog Hop

I had a ball creating this birthday card from my Papertrey Ink stash for 

Papertrey's May Blog Hop!  

I received the Monthly Moments Journal Card in my last order, so I cut it apart and used it as part of my background...the colors are perfect for today's inspiration collage!

The cardabilities sketch #99 worked well to create a fun birthday collage of my own!

The butterfly and sentiments stamps are from Papertrey Ink's Be Happy Stamp Set and the butterfly, frame and border dies are from the coordinating Be Happy Die Set.  I added a bit of Circle Scribbles Die Set to the birthday cluster, too!

After a few Pretty Pink Posh Mint & Sparkling Clear sequins were sprinkled about, the card is ready for a special friend!
