Live the Life You’ve Imagined
A quick post today with another card using the Pals Paper Arts Sketch Challenge. Graduation season is approaching and I will need several graduation cards this year – High School and College Graduations! So I created a masculine graduation card…
A clean and simple card to create. The Arrows Texture Embossing folder adds interest to the Island Indigo panel and the World Map stamp with a thin border of Early Espresso gives it a masculine feel. The sentiment from the Really Good Greetings stamp set is perfect for a graduate. I added embellishment to the inside as well.
The Stamp-a-a-jig was essential for the placement of these items. Here is one more look at the card:
Happy Saturday and I hope I inspired you to get crafty today!
Cheers,
Michelle

An Elegant Affair – PPA #200!
Today the Pals are celebrating their 200th Pals Paper Arts Challenge. In honor of this special occasion ALL design team members are participating to bring you a spectacular display of creativity. We each chose a color to showcase. I chose Midnight Muse to use for this week's Sketch Challenge.
As you may have guessed from my card designs, my personal style is classic. I think Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn are the epitome of this style. They were beautiful women that had classic style and grace. So when we had to create a monochromatic card in the color of our choice I wanted to showcase classic elegance with the sketch challenge using Midnight Muse and Whisper White.
The focal point design was created using the Simply Scored Diagonal Plate. (This tool has taken a back seat since we obtained the new Stampin Trimmer that allows us to score as well as cut. And the evenlope punch board has also placed the Simply Scored Tool in its shadows. ) Yet the Simply Scored Tool is terrific to create special effects as I did on this card. I scored on the diagonal every inch starting at the corner. Then I placed the Pearl Basic Jewels at the intersection of the lines. I love how it turned out.
Don't you love the look of crisp white and navy (or in this case Midnight Muse)?
The inside expresses my appreciation for all the PPA participants who inspire me and push me to create fresh designs to get your Mojo going. This is from the Million & One stamp set.
I know that I took some creative liberty by using the bow as my "circle" embellishment as I did not want to cover up too much of the main stage design.

How would you like to win this card and ALL the cards created by the PPA Design Team members?
