Boo...it's Monday....

...so I'll be happy here before I head to the office.
>smiley face<

I'm hosting over at Fun-Frilled today - and if you make cards, you may want to head over there because we've got a smokin' hot contest going on this month. Here is a sneak peek of my card - head on over to see the rest of it {it's not that great though so if you don't want to head over, I won't be mad atcha this week}.

I have one more card to show you today and it's the card that I made for Dawn McVey's Raspberry Suite Challenge. Dawn is a designer for Papertrey Ink and I have mad love for both PTI, and Dawn's work. I've included the label that she created for the challenge - these are color challenges which means you can make any style/layout of card that you want....but you have to use the colors below. It looked like a challenge from the outset, but I didn't find this to be all that difficult - yay me.



~ SUPPLIES ~
Paper: Papertrey Ink Vintage Cream, Melon Berry, Pure Poppy & Kraft CS; My Mind's Eye Daydream DP.
Everything else: Papertrey Ink Hibiscus Burst button; Foofala (red) button; Papertrey Ink Vintage Cream ink & ribbon; Verve (larger) sentiment; Papertrey Ink (smaller) sentiment; Royale crochet thread.
