Word Power Challenge #1!

Leave it to Darlene and Diane to bring us another fabulous challenge - this one goes straight to the reason I started making cards in the first place: to use my words!  Since then, I have added so many wonderful sentiments to my stash - here's one from PTI for the first Word Power Challenge!




I brought back the PTI pink and orange pattern pack, and a wonderful prize paper pack from D&D with the most wonderful small plaids for my butterflies.
Everyone seemed to enjoy the W&W scallops, so I brought them back today cut from a Bazzil cardstock called Citrus Slice.  Here is the rectangular speech bubble in that set from The Stamp Market.  The sentiment was a gift from Two Ls when I visited her, and it surely fits so many of the friendships I've made along the way.

Thank you, Darlene and Diane, for keeping us motivated by your wonderful challenges!  I better get this one delivered - but I hope I've inspired you to take a new look at the many large sentiment stamps in YOUR stash, too!

  14. This is wonderful, and perfect for those nutty D's new challenge. You gotta love them! I think it's a brilliant idea. Love the sentiment. I have the PTI papers too and never used them. They are wonderful - I may just have to break them out. Big rain storm coming, so I will stay in my PJ's and make stuff today. Hope you are warm and cozy up there.
