PPC #45


Happy Monday, everyone!  Wow - have we ever got a LOT of snow this weekend...I stayed home all warm and toasty but my DH wasn't so lucky.  He *had* to go out but getting *out* wasn't the problem... it was trying to get back IN after MORE snow and wind made some pretty horrendous drifts on our LONG country driveway.  He ended up getting stuck on his way back in - no WAY would I even be attempting to go anywhere!  LOL  It gave me the perfect excuse to stay inside and CRAFT!

This week Megan has given us an interesting combination over at the Picture Perfect Creations Color Challenge - what do you think?


I started out following Tracy's sketch over at Eat, Sleep, Stamp *to-the-letter* but as it evolved, it didn't end up *exactly* like the sketch - my white panel is not centered, my image isn't centered and I rotated it 180 degrees:


The girlies over at Stampin' Royalty are celebrating their first birthday this week (has it really been a year already?) so they have asked us to make a birthday card so that's exactly what I did:

Stamps: Upsy Daisy (SU!)  Ink: Perfect Plum, Bravo Burgundy  Paper: Perfect Plum, Bravo Burgundy, Whisper White, Wild Wasabi  Accessories: Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder, Square Lattice embossing folder, River Rock grosgrain ribbon, twine, scallop oval punch, oval punch

Thanks for stopping by today - I hope the weather is better than ours wherever you are.  If you're snowed in, look on the bright side...it's PERFECT for crafting.  :)  We'd love to have you join us over at PPC. 

Enjoy your week!

My you have been busy. Another fabulous card. (I'm commenting down the list, so I found your later post first - sorry) Thanks again for helping us celebrate our birthday here at Stampin' Royalty.

Melissa this came out FABULOUS!! I'm glad you didn't follow the sketch to a T. That's the fun of working from it!!!!! Another homerun from you my friend! Thank you for playing along with the first sketch of 2011!!
