I don’t think I’ve used the Perfectly Preserved set and dies for a few days now.    Believe me — it has taken restraint on my part.  I think I am addicted to that set!  🙂

I wanted to play along with the sketch over at Retro Sketches, and I thought this week’s sketch was perfect for the Perfectly Preserved set.  Here’s the sketch:

And here’s my card:

I hope you enjoy your holiday, for those of you in the US who have the day off.   Thanks for stopping by!

Stamps:  Perfectly Preserved
Ink:  Island Indigo, Raspberry Ripple, Lucky Limeade

Embellishments:  Finishing Touches edgelits, Raspberry Ripple 3/8″ Satin Stitched Ribbon, 1/2″ Circle Punch, 3/16″ Brights Brads

The new Perfectly Preserved set in the Holiday catalog is such a fun set to use.  I think it’s the coordinating Cannery set framelit dies that makes it extra fun.  I saw two challenges yesterday that caught my eye, and made me think I could use this set for a card that would meet the criteria for both challenges.

The first challenge is over at the Freshly Made Sketches site.  Here’s the sketch:

The second challenge that caught my eye is over at the Moxie Fab World site.  It is the Repetition Challenge, where — you guessed it — you’re to use repetition “as a tool to add emphasis, create rhythm, or to make a definitive statement in your project.”

So, after all that, here is my card:

Enjoy your Friday!  Thanks for stopping by!

The Paper Players have a fun challenge this week to create a project with the theme, “Back to School Rules.”  Though I’m definitely not ready for my kids to go back to school yet, I thought I would play along.

I thought I would make a little notecard for my daughter to give her teacher with a little gift for the first day of school.
