Play with PPA #135

Please do not adjust your computer monitor! The pig really is THAT pink! lol

This card was inspired by and created for the Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge.

This card came together in just a matter of minutes for me this week. Once I saw the sketch, the pig from the stamp set 'Button Buddies' came right to mind, in PINK. Melon Mambo to be exact. There he was, stuck in my head, so I pulled out some DSP (Designer Series Paper) that I have be dying to use since it came out (it retires on May 31st so I got in just under the wire!). The polka dot theme just evolved from there...it's kind of amazing how many polka dot products Stampin' Up! has available to choose from! And I decided to use them ALL! Who could blame me? I'm really luvin' my little polka dot piggy, he cracks me up because he is just SO outside of my comfort zone!

I hope he inspires you to pull out paper and ink!

A 'Charming' Thank You - PPA132

Today I am participating in the Pals Paper Arts Challenge (my first ever!). The challenge was to create something using the colors Pretty in Pink, Certainly Celery, and Chocolate Chip. It turned out to be harder than I thought...I realized that this combination does not come easily to me (I guess that's why they call it a "challenge", lol), I perservered though and I am pleased with the results. I used the Stamp set "Charming" and realized it is my current favorite, just so soft and pretty. I thought it went well with the colors. Thanks for stopping by!
