Papertrey April Blog Hop Challenge

Hi everyone!
Not sure if you all follow me on FB but I have shared a bit over there about our move from NH to CT.   We moved on Monday of this week and are getting settled here in CT.  So needless to say, I have been busy packing/cleaning/unpacking etc. the past month.  Thankfully, I had all my blog posts scheduled that needed to be scheduled.  I finally got my craft room sort of organized yesterday and today and was able to make my first card in at least 2 weeks.  I was afraid my mojo was going to be gone but I took the lovely inspiration photo below and found a sketch on StampNation to use and voila!  My card!


I have lots of friends with birthday's next month so I am getting a head start on them.

Here is the inspiration photo:


I was inspired by the stripes and the colors.

I mentioned the sketch was one I found on StampNation and I wanted to make sure you all saw THIS POST!  We are having a Virtual Retreat and I have a MISTI to GIVEAWAY!  I will be choosing a winner tomorrow so head on over and leave me a comment!


Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Stamps:  Birthday Classics: May Stamp set (PTI), Striped Backgrounds (MFT)
Ink:  Raspberry Fizz (PTI), Night of Navy (SU)
Paper:  Night of Nave, Raspberry Fizz (PTI)
Accessories:  Vellum Cardstock, Doodlie-Do dies (PTI)
