Just Because

I am so happy today.  Archivers' got all the new My Minds Eye 6x6 paper packs in. As soon as I got off work, I went  to go pick them up.  They are all so very pretty.  I am sure I will be using them a lot.

I LOVE the pastel colors on this pack.  I used the new Follow your Heart/Be Happy along with one of my all time favorite PTI sets called Butterfly Dreams and Mat Stack 2. 

I added some Stickles in Stardust and a couple baby pearls from Want 2 Scrap to the colored butterfly.  

Can you tell I was a little excited to get the new papers?  I had to get them all.

I played along with the SFYTT:

Hello again.  I told you I would be back.  I made another card using my wonderful new set from Flourishes  called Christmas Classics.  I found a great sketch that worked perfectly with what I had on my desk.  I colored this image the other day and had the papers picked out.  I just didn't have a great sketch to go with my image.  Until today.

I found the sketch at SFYTT.  She has some great sketches.  Not sure how I hadn't found this site before.  Maybe I just didn't pay attention very well.  Which is highly possible.  hehe

I wanted to use pink for the bow.  Something different.  I also used my Tim Holtz distress ink in Tattered Rose for the inside shading on my Spellbinder die.

This set is also supposed to be used with Labels 15 or 16 but I don't have those and it fit perfectly inside my Labels Three die.  I did finally get a hold of Labels 14 so I will have to play around and make something with it today or tomorrow.  ;)
