Paper Trey Princess Challenge, August 4th

The challenge was to make a card using Hot or Cold Colors. To see more info on the challenge hop on over to Vanessa's Blog.

I choose Cold Colors. I knew I would. One of my very favorite color combinations is Blue/Green. I have a friend whose birthday is August 17^th and this card is going to her. Happy Birthday Karen, aka Aunt KK. My son, who is 17, who could not pronounce "Karen" when he was little thus the nickname KK was given. We love you dearly.

Paper: PTI Aqua Mist, Spring Rain, Vellum & Green Boutique Pattern Paper

Baby Shower Invitation

This is a Baby Shower invitation I made for my one and only Niece. She is pregnant with her 2nd child and it's a girl. When my sister asked me to help make them my first thought was my niece, Bethany. What does she like? Purple is her favorite color and she loves butterflies. Well I think I covered all aspects. The pink is for, of course, the baby being a little girl. I hope the father can survive raising 2 girls. He's such a softy!!!
