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.

Great cards Cecilia. I too am a hoarder of Patterned papers.
ReplyDeleteLove your boy/girl renditions using the same pp pad, Cecilia! Love your takes on the sketches.
ReplyDeleteWhen 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
Both cards are really super! Love the papers you've used! I tend to struggle with papers, but not you!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL cards! LOVE your pattern paper combinations!!! Thanks so much for joining us this week at Paper Smooches SPARKS Challenge!!!
