Get Happy with PPA291!
Time to get happy with Pals Paper Arts and PPA291 a color challenge!
Yep, it’ that time of the week again. Time to get out the toys and play with Pals Paper Arts! This spring trio of colors was put together by Mary Fish. Thank you Mary for a great pallet to work with!
This scrappy little card came together quite quickly. Well, after I finally decided what style to use that is. I had just finished a similar project for the 30 Day Challenge you’ve heard me talk about and had scraps left over. Instead of tossing them they became a launching point. The two pieces are the little heart shape in the lower right corner and the funky scallop Glimmer circle in the center.
Take a guess at what follows happy on the inside…….
Not your normal Easter card, I know. The more I looked at the circles and colors, the more I envisioned cheerful Easter eggs. You may not agree, at first, but think outside the box. Still don’t agree? Well, think of me as your friend that enjoys coloring outside the lines and maybe you’ll see it.

Thank you Peggy. Glad you liked the surprise. 🙂
Rae, I love how you do think outside the box! That is definitely your appeal. Wonderful compilation of scraps to make a great card. Bits and pieces make such masterpieces…

Such a great, abstract, happy card! Love the way you’ve used these shapes – and then SURPRISE! it’s an Easter card. Love it!
Thank you Brian!
How absolutely perfect! I am so bad at simple but stunning things like this. Who would have thought circles could works so well!
Lynn…. Thank you! I always keep a few “interesting” scraps on my desk. Simple cards were always my nemesis until I did that. The #30daychallenge has helped tremendously.
Love how you tucked Easter inside. Great group of shapes and artistic splash!
Thank you Mary. This was a fun card to make. The idea of an Easter card didn’t come to me until I did the inside. Funny how things evolve.
