PPA 76 - Simple & Sweet Hostess Gift

I have a workshop on Wednesday night and needed a cute hostess favor.  I used an idea from this month's Stampin' Success and made an envelope pocket.  I'll fill it with a little chocolate and a couple cute Valentine's Day pencils.  I know my hostess will love it!  I'm pretty sure the ladies attending will want to learn to make these for themselves - I haven't decided if I want to demo it or use to book another workshop.  We'll see as I get ready for the workshop today what else I through in the mix.

PPA40 - Monochromatics - Blues

I finally had a moment to sit in my craft room and create.  I thought this week's PPA challenge would be perfect - the monochromatic blues remind me of a baby boy.  Now I just need someone to have a little baby boy.

Mojo 131 - Make a Wish!

I’m hosting a card class fundraiser for a local Relay for Life team in April. Relay for Life is a 24 hour walk that raises money for the American Cancer Society (ACS).  ACS's current slogan is “The Official Sponsor of Birthdays” and I thought it would be fun to do all birthday cards for the class.  Here is the first card, inspired by this week's Mojo sketch.  The class fee will go directly to the team.  It should be a great time!

If you would like to find out more about Relay for Life or the American Cancer Society go to cancer.org.

Color Throwdown #81

This week's color throwdown colors are brown, pink/white, and olive.  I have been in an Easter mood - trying to decide what to do for a project at my Easter class.  I saw the template for this basket on SUs site and have loved it ever since and now finally have an idea for it.  I thought the basket needed a card too so here it is.  I hope you enjoy.  I can't wait to fill the basket with pink Easter grass and goodies!

I finally have a moment to sit down and do a challenge. It seems like I've had something going on since Thanksgiving. I took a break today from making Christmas gifts to make a birthday card for a party tonight. I thought "why not combine this week's challenges?" Here is what I came up with:

Take the Mojo Monday Sketch

Plus the Pals Paper Arts Color Challenge

And you get this:
