Delicate Doilies!


Hello! Today is the first day that I'm finally able to pull out some of my new Stampin' Up! goodies and play! I'm sharing a card that I made this morning for the Play Date Cafe Challenge.





DEEtails:


Today's card features the new Delicate Doilies set from SU! Just fabulous! You know how much I like a good doily. :) I inked them in various shades of purple - Pale Plum, Lace Lavendar, Orchid Opulence, Concord Crush - and scattered them across my Crumb Cake card. Then I added some purple ribbon from my stash and a PTI Limitless Layer die cut. I added a sentiment from SU!'s Great Friend, which is retiring. So sad. I love that set.


Can you believe that we still have 6 days of school left?! Ridiculous, right? I know. The kids (and teachers) are definitely ready for summer! It's been a crazy few weeks! The end of the school year is always a busy time for me, which explains my disappearance from the blog world. I'm hoping that once summer vacation officially starts, I'll be back to my crafting routine. :) In the meantime, you'll get to enjoy a blog hop this week, featuring retiring SU! sets and my usual weekend Cupcake Inspirations post. Perhaps if I'm lucky, I'll get a few extra posts snuck in here and there. See you again tomorrow for some yummy cupcakes! :)

  6. Nina, I know all too well how busy the end of the schoolyear can be. I was just thinking that today, on the way dropping the kids off at school. Fairs, pool parties, game days...it's a lot of running around! So glad you found time to make a card for our Play Date Cafe challenge. I love what you did with that new doily set from SU! Gotta get my hands on that when it goes 'live'. Thanks for playing with us!
