I'm Here for You

Hi everyone! I hope you're having a good week.

It's time for another Play Date Cafe Challenge. Here are this week's colors:


Do you ever have projects that you love the idea, get all the way done, and then realize it didn't work? Yep, that's what happened to me this week.

I originally started out making a gift bag. I got all the way done, but once I saw the picture, I thought "this looks super lame." So, I cut the bag apart and made it into this card:



You can still see the brown paper bag as the card front. ;) I die cut the various papers, added some Bella Blvd washi (thanks, Heather!) and a Freckled Fawn arrow.

For the sentiment, I used my brand-spankin' new stamps from Precious Remembrance (I literally got the stamps an hour before I made this project). I also used the "X's" stamp to add a little texture to the digital purple paper. Here's a close-up:



Like the colors? Want to play along? This week's winner will receive a fabulous prize from the PDCC prize vault. You can link up your projects HERE.

Thanks so much for looking! Have a great weekend!

  16. I kind of wish you'd posted the original bag photo, just so we could see what was deemed unworthy! :P It's funny, though, how sometimes it takes the photo to really tell you about your project. But your save is so cool! Love the banners and splatters.
