Now on to my card and our challenge--- Now, with all of this going on, we thought we better make this week’s challenge an easy one! The RCC challenge is simple for this week. Anything Goes!! I used some of my Imaginisce papers that I won a couple of months ago for my card. I also used the MSS Gone Campin' stamp set. The sentiment is computer generated. I just love how this card turned out--masculine but soft (with that green). The ribbon is striped grosgrain {available HERE from The Ribbon Carousel}. LOOOOOOOVE! These cards also fits the Simon Says Stamp challenge-Love is in the Air.

That's it for me today! Be sure to stop by the RCC for complete details on this hop and make sure you leave comments on ALL the designers' blogs! You know the drill to enter our challenges, right?!  Make a creation using anything that comes on a spool somewhere on your project, and enter for a chance to be one of our TOP SPOOLS!  

Here is a complete list of Day 2 designers:

PDCC #96

Hello, friends:}

Hoooooray for another fun day over at the Play Date Cafe! Today starts a brand new color story. And we have a new sponsor--Market Street Stamps!!

I was super lucky to get some MSS images to use for my creation {THANKS, MSS!}. I received the Gone Campin' set. LOVE it! It's perfect for just about any creation! I used my My Mind's Eye and October Afternoon papers for this love themed card. I really wanted to stamp the sentiment "Thanks for sticking by me" on this card--but I couldn't figure out where to place it. Leave me a comment let me know where you think I should add it!

That's it for me....but be sure to stop by the PDCC blog for complete details and prize information! The PDCC sponsor this week is Market Street Stamps. And don't forget to stop by all the other PDCC DT members' blogs-- AMAZINGZING {2x the zing}!

PDCC #78 - Growing In Unity Day #5

Hello, friends:}

I've got lots to share...first up....It's my week of Growing in Unity!! Be sure to stop by each day {April 17-23} and leave some love for your chance to win several prizes!! Become a follower for an extra entry!! Gotta love prizes!! 

Today also starts another beautiful color story over at The Play Date Cafe. OH! Just love this color palette! And this inspiration photo by Julie Ranae is FABBBBY! We are going red, pink, and baby blue this week! I used my Unity Life Becoming set for the butterfly. I embossed it on transparency. The baby blue polka dot paper is a digi from Nina Bracket. LOVE it! I also used my Unity April KOTM {Small Things Matter Most} for the sentiment. I love that twine [light pink and red] holding the button on the seam binding bow--overall...I LOVE it! 

Not sure you can tell--but that smaller polka dot paper is light pink-S.E.I. Happy Day paper.

ETA--UPDATE:::Because I had an overwhelming response to my CAS frame [before picture to the left]--I edited it to add a light blue butterfly on transparency {Unity's Small Things Matter Most}. I also added a large light pink gem. I think this matches the PDCC challenge colors this week PERFECTLY! LOVE it! 

Not sure if you can see the colors well--but I promise you that it matches the PDCC colors in real life! Sometimes the camera doesn't catch that! Eh!

That's it for me--but you will want to jump on over to all these other amazing PDCC DT members' blogs! Our special Guest designer this week is Hanna Craner. So happy to have her on our team this week:}
