Today I Celebrate You



I've done something today that I rarely do -- I've used purple (blech)! Not only that, but I like it! This beautiful crocus image is from A Year of Flowers Calendar Set 1 by Flourishes, and the sentiment is from the new Birthday Centers set by JustRite Stamps. Both sets, along with many of the supplies I used, are available at Stamper's Dream.

The layout is Jen's Sketch For You To Try for this week:



Check out the fabby SFYTT sisters for more inspiration using today's sketch:

  6. Beautiful card Amy. I didn't care for purple in years past either, but now I seem to be more drawn to it. Suppose it's my age?! {laughing, laughing}. As always, in my book Amy, your color combination, coloring, layouts and ideas are top notch!

  8. Well, now... I love purple. And, you did an amazing job. I love the delicate nature of this layout. It's very feminine! I think the little rhinestone ring gives it just enough "bling!".

  12. Sometimes you see a card for the first time, and it just jumps out at you. This is one of those cards, not because it has purple (LOL), but because it is strikingly beautiful. I love this!
