Happy Easter - Paper Issues

Paper Issues is having a introduction to the new Current Link Party today.  The theme is sponsored by 17turtles! 

Eggs-cellent Add-ventures.  You can do anything from Easter, egg hunts, Passover, adventures of all kinds (travel, museum, baseball park, etc.), chickens/birds, eggs, spring, candy, math symbols (plus signs, number paper, etc.), baseball, April Fool's Day (practical jokes, etc.), use cut files, 17turtles products, die cuts.  You choose.  

I was able to incorporate two different cut files from 17turtles - Easter Chicks and Eggscellent Adventure.

I chose a couple photos from last year.  Cut several chicks from different colored papers in different sizes and clumped it altogether.

So here is what you do.  

Link up anything new or old that falls under any of these categories.  

You could win a $20 gift certificate to the 17turtles store.  

Also, if that wasn't enough, from March 30-April 12 they are offering 

25% off any order during that time.  

If you want to get your hands on this Doodlebug product, go HERE to the Paper Issues store and grab some.  Use Code: Mary-Ann to receive 20% off anything you order from them too with this code.

Happy New Year friends.

I have not touched paper in almost two weeks and feel really behind, yet inspired by everything I have seen of FB and IG!  This is my first day that my boy and husband have gone back to their schedule and I hope to return to mine.  Coffee in hand, I am writing my first blog post of the year!  Well, not really in hand, I wouldn't be able to type very well:o)

Here is my recent layout I created for A Flair for Buttons.  It has four different sets of flair combined onto one layout, representing my message (fall and love) and coordinates perfectly with the my color choices.  Not only does this work for A Flair for Buttons but it also is based on a sketch from Paper Issues.  Bam.  Two birds with one stone.  Well, actually three when you read below.

Here are some close ups of the colorful flair and beautiful papers.

Here is the Sketchy Saturday Link challenge that is happening over at Paper Issues:

Give it a go scrappy friends, you could win a $10 gift certificate to the store.  

This layout also fits within their Current Link Party, Pop-ping the Cork!  This is sponsored by Elle's Studio.  If you link to this challenge, you could win a Elle's Studio goodie bag.  I hear they are very generous!

Thanks for "pop-ping" in today, hehe!
