Birthday Cupcake

Here's the card that sat unfinished on my craft desk for over a week. All the elements were the same ones from that intial creative session - it just took a while to get everything to come together.

This was my first time to use any of the Color Couture downloads. I have to say it was fun to use paper knowing I could print more. And I'm excited to try printing some of the patterns on different color cardstock or even vellum as Nichole showed on her blog today.

Hope you enjoy. Thanks for stopping by.

Sweet Argyle

I had this idea for A Little Argyle from the first day the set was previewed in April. But it wasn't until this weekend that I had the opportunity to sit down and put ink on paper. Can I tell you I love A Little Argyle? It's going to be one of my new go-to sets!
