Know what today is?  National “Wear Your Pajamas to Work Day”.  I’m not kidding.  This sounds like a day to celebrate.  Good thing I don’t have Skype on right now.  You’d not only see my pajamas but orange juice rollers in my hair too. Do you have images of Maxine about now?  Yep, me and Maxine, birds of a feather.

PPA157 Sketch Challenge

Which brings me to the project today.  The sketch comes from Pals Paper Arts, challenge PPA157.  Great inspiration comes with the bi-monthly Pals Paper Arts challenges. Have you played today? 

My first thought with this sketch was “How can I simplify?”  If you’ve followed this blog you’ll know I’ve been trying to develop CAS (Clean and Simple) projects while keeping a nostalgic flair.  Well, at least most of the time.

Second, the “Birds of a Feather” DSP has been calling, “Use Me!” for quite some time.  The quail reminds me so much of my grandma.  She loved them.  Grandma, this one’s for you.

The stamp set, A Little Greeting (#129111), has become a favorite.  It ranks right up there with paper-piercing.  The three little stamps fit almost anywhere.  It’s affordable.  It’s also available at a discount when you purchase the Boutique Boxes Bundle (#131104).  What’s not to love.  You’ll see one of the stamps used on A Little Mojo Monday Greeting from yesterday, along with elements from the Boutique Boxes Bundle.

#129111 A Little Greeting

Not a lot of product or techniques were used other than cutting out the quail and lifting up the wing on one of them.  And, of course, paper-piercing.

Let’s get right to the Nuts & Bolts.
