My name is Stephanie ... and I'm a paper addict. When I saw this week's Shopping Our Stash Challenge to come clean about your weakest link ... the one crafting supply you can't resist purchasing no matter how much you already have ... for me that is paper. When I first started crafting, I would buy single sheets ... then I moved on to entire collections and almost every 6" paper pad I can get my hands on.
So I decided to break into my newest paper purchase that arrived in the mail today ... the Timeless Collection by Teresa Collins. It was perfect for this week's Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger Girly & Gutsy.
I love this color combination together with the fun flourishes on the carpet, flowers, and pink backdrop.
I used the current PageMaps Card Contest Sketch, which allowed me to combine all sorts of patterns from my paper collection. I used My Favorite Things Leafy Flourish to add the pop of color seen in the chairs in the photo. The sentiment is another fantastic EAD Rub-on.
This card is also for the Pink & Black Designer's Color Challenge.
This has such pizzaz and flavor! ;)

Paper, eh? Oh, yeah, I'm with you there. I love how these sketches "help" us to use so many coordinating papers on one card. And I might have to do this sketch myself - I've seen it several times now. Hmmm.
Thanks for joining us at Shopping our Stash!
