EBTKS Sketch Challenge #9


Hi-ya friends!

We have made it to the mid-way mark of the week! I’ve been keeping super busy at work. That extra day off for President’s Day was glorious, but it definitely made for more work on Tuesday. However, I only have one more day until the weekend so I think I’ll make it out alive. :)

I’m so excited about the card I’m sharing with you today! This card was based of the EBTKS Sketch Challenge #9. First can I just say that ALL of those girls are just so sweet? I have grown particularly close to Courtney and Kelly Marie since returning from CHA. I seriously wish these girls lived in Washington- we would have so much fun together! I have had loads of fun getting to know them more through Twitter and through some emails. If you haven’t visited their blogs before, you must! You’ll leave feeling inspired and also with a smile. (They cards always have that affect on me!) Okay, moving back to the card……with Valentine’s Day behind us, I’m looking to the next holiday. Even though I love shamrocks and creating “green” cards, I just can’t bring myself to create a St. Patricks Day card. It might have to do with the fact that I have ZERO Irish in me. With St. Patty’s Day a bust, I decided that I would skip to Easter. Absolutely LOVE this holiday. Since I’m a Christian it has a special meaning to me, but I also really enjoy the colors and festivities that go along with it. :) I decided to do some bright, fun colors for this particular card. What are your thoughts?

I’ll be posting some more Easter cards in the near future. Absolutely love coloring all those fun Easter eggs! Oh, little fact, I have NEVER colored Easter eggs IRL! Hmm…might have to do that this year! If I do, I’ll be sure to post pics. ;)

Well, I hope you were inspired. Be sure to check out the EBTKS sketch this week!

  1. You are so sweet! I am still just so happy I got to meet you at CHA, although we didn’t have enough time at all!

    This card is so cute and fun! I love the Easter images and the beautiful bow! Thank you so much for playing along with EbtKS! :)

  2. Girl you are so sweet and we would TOTALLY have a blast if we lived closer. I’m thinking we need to by one of those cool retirement communities somewhere and require that you be a cardmaker to live them? Unrealistic? Hum… maybe. :)

    Love you card girl!

  3. Love the big blue bow Paulina. How long did you have to fiddle with it before you got exactly as you wanted it? It always takes me forever!!!

  4. Gorgeous card! I love what you did with the challenge. I’m also gearing up for Easter although I probably will make a couple St.Patty’s day Cards. And I couldn’t agree more about Kelly and Courtney, I’ve not met them in real life YET, but they were two of my first friends when I started my blog. They are so sweet and talented!

  5. Oooo, Paulina, those colorful DeNami Easter eggs and baskets are FABULOUS!!!! And I like how you added the polka dots around the baskets—super cute! And let’s not forget THAT BOW!!! Wow!!

    As a kid we ALWAYS colored Easter eggs, but my husband and I have NEVER done this in the 9 years we’ve been married! Let’s make a pact to color Easter eggs this year!!!! Are you in?

  8. So cute! I too LOVE Easter! It has such a special meaning too me! Thanks for playing along with us in the challenge! :)
