PDCC #81

Good morning!  I can't tell you how happy I am to be back to blogging today!  I didn't realize how much blogger had become a part of my day/life until it wasn't there!  So grateful it's back up and running!  How about you?  ;)

Today I wanted to share my card for The Play Date Cafe Challenge #81!  When I first saw the color combo I thought, psht no problem!  But then I got to working on my card and it was kind of hard incorporating that gray.  I must say though, I love these colors together!  Here's the inspiration picture:

  

I started this card off with that little advertisement piece.  I went to my local scrapbook store on Saturday and bought a 12x12 sheet of journaling type pieces from Crate Paper (Emma's Shoppe) and this was one of them.  I literally built the rest of the card around this one little rectangle.  I've never done that before and it was definitely and interesting way to work :)

Paper:  PTI; Simply Chartreuse and Plum Pudding, DCWV; Gray and Lavender, Crate Paper; Emma's Shoppe
Stamps:  PTI:  Library Ledger Stamp, Autumn Abundance and It's Official
Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black
Other:  Ribbon, American Crafts; Stick Pins, Making Memories; Buttons, PTI; EK Success Embossed Curve Punch

Okay bloggy babes, that's it for me today!  I have a lot coming up this week for you.  A couple of things I've bought, an award or two and of course some craftiness!  Have a fantastic Monday my friends and as always, thank you for stopping by and spending a moment with me :)
