All About PPA297
Today’s post is all about PPA297, a color challenge from Pals Paper Arts.
This week’s challenge is designed by my fellow designer, Jackie Diediker. Jackie has chosen Daffodil Delight, Pool Party and Wisteria Wonder for us to play with. Her style is as clean and playful as the color pallet she’s chosen.
Stamp Set: Stampin’ Up! has shipped the One millionth Paper Pumpkin kit and to celebrate, subscribers were gift the Absolutely Everything Stamp Set absolutely free! The set comes with nine word combinations, eight flower elements and a brush stroke. And… did I say it was free?
Linen Butterfly: This was a complete surprise! Linen Thread is wrapped and pulled through a hole in the focal piece then tied in a bow. One bow wasn’t enough so another single bow was placed on top…. the butterfly was born.
Retiring Product: As promised in my post yesterday, Sneaking Around with PPA297, you’ll see a retired product in every post from today through April 30th. Today’s product, It’s My Party Enamel Dots (140554). I really, love these little plastic gems. Sorry to see them go. Make sure to review yesterday’s post for a chance to win Blog Candy!
