happy

Hi there! I hope you are having a great week! Today I have a couple of projects to share featuring beautiful papers from the newly released Pion Design Paris Flea Market collection. 
 I scrapped a photo of Meredith posing for me in our backyard sometime last year :)
All the flowers, foliage, doilies and lace work was homemade using various dies from Memory Box, Spellbinders and My Favorite Things along with pretty Paris Flea Market papers. I'm not picky ~  I love them all :)
 While I had these beautiful papers out, I made a couple of Valentine's Day cards:
 a pink version:
 and a blue version:

For layout sketch inspiration, I joined along with the current Stuck?! Sketches sketch challenge:
 and for the card sketch inspiration, I joined along with the current retro sketches sketch challenge:
Many thanks for stopping by ~ I hope you have a great day / evening!
Be Sweet ;)

    Everything you make simply blows my mind! Your versatility in styles and mastering them all is just amazing! The layout is simply breathtaking starting with a picture of your beautiful daughter and surrounding it with pretty flowers. The cards are two crafting gems! Thank you for the inspiration!
