Mixed Bunch Birthday

  It’s time to be inspired by another great sketch by Pretty Pals designer, Margaret Moody, for this week’s Pals Paper Arts Challenge.  I think you’ll agree that this is another one of Margaret’s best sketches.       This sketch is so pretty without adding anything, so I stayed true to the sketch and didn’t add …

Baroque Motif in Red

  This week’s Pals Paper Arts Challenge couldn’t be much easier to play along with.  All that’s required is to use red, any red!  The question is, will you use it for a Valentine-themed card, or give it a stretch and use it for a different occasion?  I hope you’ll play along with us!
