Lots of Love

I get the Scrapbook and Cards Today monthly sampler, and it is my absolute favorite subscription.  $15 per month for papers, a die and/or a small stamp set, shipped.  Super value!!  The Sampler was perfect for The Color Hues challenge of Pink and Red and the Paper Craft Crew Love is in the Air challenge:

I used the stencil and die from the Sampler.  I inked the stencil in pink, then turned it 90 degrees and inked in red.  I didn't have the exact paper color, so I inked some white paper with the red to create the sentiment and base layer.  Such a soft, pretty effect!  Sharing with The Color Hues Pink and Red Challenge:

Sketch Challenge

 Make The Cards has a great sketch challenge to showcase pretty patterned paper:

The patterned paper (Echo Park) and sentiments (Gina K's Daffodil Delight) are from the Scrapbook & Cards Today April Sampler.  Solid paper and bling from my stash.  I will definitely be using this sketch again!

Today is the first Saturday of the month, and that means a new Send a Smile 4 Kids challenge!  Come join us!
