If you know me well, you might know that I hardly EVER use purple. I'm sort of purple-phobic. But, my new favorite paper package has this cute purple stripe in it... and my little niece just celebrated her FIRST birthday (how did that happen so fast?) My older niece has everything pink, and the little one, has everything purple. So I knew that I'd have to break into the paper for her!
She's my sweet little red-headed girl, so I colored my Pure Innocence: Butterfly Kisses in her likeness, and while I love her to pieces, she's a little destructo, so my sis will have to keep this out of her reach so she doesn't eat this tiny gem, or this glitter either....
The alphabet paper is so adorable, but the card was getting "busy" looking, so I took a piece of vellum, put it over the alphabet, and stitched all around. Just softened the colors up a bit, and in my humble opinion, its pretty sweet.....
Lately, I feel like a big cheater if I don't finish off the insides too. I matched the layout adding a portion of the sentiment (love that with clear stamps you can selectively ink things up - I like to use just the corner of a dew drop sized pad to achieve this)
Happy Birthday to my sweet little girl - Auntie LOVES you, but please, please don't eat the card little chicken!

it's adorable. I love purple but have a hard time getting it to photograph well, and then it's hard to match. You did all of that so congrats, my hat is off to you.
I'm with you Joanne, purple looks awesome when others use it, I tend to shy away for some reason. You totally rocked it!
ABSOLUTELY adorable, Joanne! I love it and the purple is fabulous! Great idea with the velum too. I have so much left over from my scarpbooking days and I have not really been using it on my cards but you have inspired me...well you alway inspire me with everything you do! Love this little PI girlie too...LOVE it all!
Hugs,t
