Happy Saturday!
Today's card is for both RetroSketches and the April Papertrey Ink Blog Hop!
I inked up for the first time my Papertrey Ink Retro Style Graduation and Birthday Sentiments Stamps and Dies. I chose to use the colours from the Papertrey Ink mood board using this week's new RetroSketches sketch!
I am up to my eyeballs in preparations for a bridal shower Brooklyn and I are having for my nephew's fiance on Sunday. I will definitely say thank you to Pinterest from providing me with loads of fantastic ideas. As much as we do not like the way that teachers' strikes impact our children, I will say that Brooklyn has been an invaluable help to me this week that she was off school because of the strike. For that I did not mind waiting in the store for an hour yesterday while she tried on a purse--trying to decide between brown or coral! Do you want to know which one she picked?
I think a good choice!
Have a wonderful weekend!
What a fantastic card!
ReplyDeleteI love that you keep buying new PTI goodies, so fun to see you showcase them all... fabulous use of the inspiration photo. My card includes a tag, imagine that!
