Hi and thanks for stopping by! Can you believe it's August already? Time flies when you're having fun! Summer's not over! There is still time to play - but you better make it count!! A new challenge starts today at Paper Sweeties! Another beautiful inspiration photo from Debbie, the owner and creator of Paper Sweeties. I can't wait to see what she made for this one - it's a dreamy birthday party in pastel shades of pink blue and green. I love playing along with the sketch challenge because I get to catch up with my friends, old and new on the Paper Sweeties Design Team. It's always a party with the alumni joining in! 
I thought I'd try something different this time. I played around with this one for a while to get if just right. I stamped some balloons from the "Celebrate" set in soft pastel colors on white card stock. Next I die cut a few strings of pennants and border cut the edge to let some pattern paper peek through - what an easy way to add some extra color to a stamped design. Last I decked it out with some Paper Sweeties sequins - have you seen these yet? They are super shiny and shaped like flowers!!
