More loveliness for you today....I have long admired Kristina Proffitt and her happy, sweet, irresistible cards. Her blog is filled with her wonderful creations and there is one piece in particular that I just love. You can see it HERE. I love the depth of the color red she has used and the mass of dimension it adds...the colors are beautiful and the design very simple as in true Kristina style. So much to love about her :) So....let this little piece inspire you to create something of your own...I can't wait to get started. Link me please to show and tell :)
Today I have my Mary card to share with you.
I love how Mary used white on white and so I was inspired to add a creamy white to stark white to create this wedding card...I used Papertrey Ink's With Sympathy stamp set along with Around and About Sentiments set. I used my favorite Vintage Cream ink and then embossed those little blossoms to raise them up a bit. The ribbon is Vintage Cream satin. I used a bit of new Thankful Melissa Frances paper along with cardstock stickers from the Wedding collection and a tag from the Ambiente collection. Thanks so much for your inspiration Mary!
Some more Pink Pailsee goodness to share. Today I'll share a few things created with the Captivating collection...I do so love it...plaids, scallops, florals....cute stuff. Here is my little bean....the one who captivates me :)
sigh....how I love her.
I had better get....things to do, and just one me to do them.

I am at a loss for something original to say about these creations today, because seriously I feel I've said it all a bunch of times. But I just had to comment because these adorable projects just touch my heart. I love that little "today I feel" book! How adorable is that? Great stuff kiddo!
