PGCB: Stitch it up!

Hi! 

Happy Monday to everyone!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  I've had a whirlwind couple weeks.  Two weekends ago, I was in Salt Lake City for the Scrapbook Steals Retreat.  I had a total blast, and got to hang out with 4 other Paper Girls.  This weekend, we picked up my mom at the airport for visit.  :-)

As I was thinking about Jessica's challenge for The Paper Girls today, I thought it would be fun do to a page about meeting her and the other girls at the retreat.  So I used my Amy Tangerine stitching templates to stitch a "photo corner" on my layout.  (The paper is also from the American Crafts class we attended at the Retreat.)

One day I hope we can get a picture with ALL The Paper Girls in it.  Thanks for visiting! 

Cheers!
Kristy

Practical Scrappers: Card Sketch

Practical Scrappers has a fun card sketch up on the blog today:

And here is my card:

I kind of flipped the picture (sun) element to be on the left instead of the right.  But I had the balloon from Fancy Pant's What a Wonderful Day ephemera pack and I really wanted to use it!  The sun paper is from Amy Tangerine's Yes Please collection and the stamp is from Stampin' Up's Around the World collection.

I love the bright, cheerful feel of this card.  And, I will be using the card sketch again, I'm sure!

Cheers!
