Another month has come and gone which means more Papertrey Ink release projects. I have lots to share, so let's get started. This first card uses the Lace Bouquet set...it's a beauty! The sentiment across the top is from the new Think Big Favorites #12 set.
The flowers were cut from Aqua Mist felt using the Beautiful Blooms II #1 die, the leaves from Simply Chartreuse felt using the Sending You die collection. The paper is all from Crate Paper's Paper Heart line...it's delish!

Thanks for stopping in!
Melis

One super project right after the next! I love your first b.d. card and all of the FF cards are great. Super post. I happen to have three spotty bananas on my counter and was thinking of making bread today. How coincidental that when I opened your post just now, you had a link to this delish looking bread! I have sour cream and I'm going to try the recipe today. TFS :)

Melisisa every piece and bit of this post is gorgeous. I love what you created with all the new releases. Paired up with fabulous use of previous releases makes this post one of my faves. If I really have to choose I'd pcik the last card. The combo of blush with grey and a touch of aqua (is it aqua?) is stunning!

Wow Melissa, so many beautiful projects in one post! All so lovely in their own right. I especially love the Happy Birthday card, Cherish card and Happy wedding day card!
Thank you for all the inspiration for the new release! I think I may be setting my alarm super early here in the UK to make sure I don't miss out on the fabulous goodies on offer!
