Mint Julep!


Followers of my blog will know that I love (hoard) lots of pretty 6x6 paper pads. My favourites include Basic Grey, MME and Kaisercraft. I recently received the BG Mint Julep and have not had a chance to use it until now. It is great that I can make a feminine as well as a masculine card from the same collection. Here are my two cards:
The first one is based on the current CAS(E) this Sketch #53 for a friend's baby.





The second one is based on the current Deconstructing Sketch 126 for little girl's first communion.




Challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Keep it Clean and Simple
Paper Smooches Sparks Trend Challenge - Stripes (second card)
Ingredients:
Neenah Solar White and Desert Storm, Basic Grey Mint Julep, Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler, Kaisercraft Sentiment, Hero Arts Bubblegum and Navy, MFT Dienamics alphabet, butterfly and Flags STAX dies, PTI Tag Sale die, Basic Grey Vintage Button, ribbon, Hemp.

  2. Love your boy/girl renditions using the same pp pad, Cecilia! Love your takes on the sketches.

    When I was a quilter, I collected and hoarded fabrics. Now, I collect and hoard patterned papers. It is much easier on the budget, isn't it? I don't have this Mint Julep pad and now I see that I should have it!! LOL
