my fear of purple...

For you gals that are PTI-ista's...you know these colors.

I'm so not a plum girl but the other weekend when I was at Impress, I saw a lovely card design using Fresh Inks:

Silver Lilac

French Lavender

Provincial Gray

I tried, without luck to CASE the card, from what I remembered in my oh-so-aging memory.

So off to Pinterest I went and stumbled upon THIS card by the oh-so-lovely Suzanne.

What started this whole crafting chaos Sunday morning?  Well, it was THIS post over on the fabulous Lynn's blog, that reminded me of the card from Impress.

Dontcha love where all the inspiration comes from?

Here's my end result...probably a good 2.5 hours after my initial start of making just one card:

Funny thing, I didn't even use my new silver lilac and french lavender fresh inks....The Craft's Meow bloom was stamped with Provincial Gray.

Although the base looks to be black, it is PTI smoky Shadow.  I added a SRM sentiment and some 

Timeless Twine Graphite Gray

**Proud Momma Moment**

I use my blog as a journal...I hope that blogger will be around for a very long time so that when I'm in my 90's I can look back at all my posts.

So, as I've mentioned before, my girl is a senior this year and she texted me a picture of her first college acceptance letter! The whole college acceptance process is so incredibly competitive. It is for the University of Washington, the ONLY instate college she applied to.

I'm one proud Momma!!!!
