March 2012 Blog Hop

Blog-hop-logo

Hi Everyone!  I am so glad you could join me today for one of my favorite events each month.  I just received my new March Release goodies from Papertrey Ink yesterday so a little perfect timing really got me going!  Isn't this a GORGEOUS inspiration picture?  Scroll on down to see what it inspired me to make!

The-Challenge
Blog hop inspiration

As soon as I saw the picture, I knew the primary theme would come from the aqua box with the bright yellow candies inside. I was slightly sorry that I could not work in the bold yellow and white stripes but I am delighted with the way the invitation turned out.  I have wanted to make invitations for a long time, and now it will be a cinch with the new mini set, By Invitation.  Now I will have to have a dinner party just so I can send out some Springy, happy invitations!



 Well, that's the short and sweet of it.  Your comments mean so much to me, please take a moment and let me know what you think of this project.  I have listed the supplies below.

Thanks for stopping by, 
Suzanne

  23. So cute! I love how you punched the corners of the insert to match the Card Base-ics Die. I made invitations this week, and I'm wishing I would have done that. It's just a little dietail, but I think it adds so much. And I love the little table setting at the bottom. The plate fits perfectly...like it was meant to be there. :)
