hello!!

Hello!

Welcome to 365 Cards Pretty Paisley Thursday!

The challenge for today?

Use a paisley pattern on your card

This challenge was a slam dunk for me...I've had these gorgeous K&Co Paisley papers for years...I still love them!!! I stitched them together using chocolate brown thread. I cracked open my 7Gypsies chocolate velvet flowers that I've been hoarding and topped it with PTI vintage buttons and a Kaiser Crafts pearl. The sentiment is an American Crafts rub on...Everything is nestled on my favorite Speckletone Kraft base.

In an effort not to overload you all on Saturday {these days I seem to upload 3 cards on Saturday to catch up on challenges etc}...I though I'd double up today's post with another challenge card....I wanted to play M's Sketch Challenge #2:

I was thoroughly challenged by M's sketch....You should see my work space...paper and embellies everywhere...LOL.

I've been having a BALL with these nugget tins...they are such a nice vessel for anything and everything. This is Making Memories meets Martha....The pink glittery polka dot paper, the semi-circle scallop and the tiny alpha stickers are MM...you know what is Martha...yup, the loopy goodness...all topped off with thee adorable hedgie from My Cute Stamps. Did you notice it? Her nose is actually a Kaiser Crafts pearl...she is paper pieced with MM paper. BTW, you'll be so proud of me, I recycled the MM packaging and the scallop piece is from that:) The sentiment is:

happy days 2U

Wondering what is inside? Hmmm...some very fun embellies...I'll wait to hear from the recipient before saying anything:)

Fantabulous job on the challenging sketch Miss M!

I set up for my gift fair last night with the help of my boy...check out my side bar--->

The beauty of it...I don't have to tend to my booth...the Sassy Mei gals do everything:) Wish me luck...I'm sharing an 8 foot table with my ultra-talented cousin...I did take a couple pics of my table last night but it was too dark...hope to get more pics on Friday afternoon.
