Paper Maniac Inspirations ~ Pretty in Purple

Hi all! I hope everyone had an awesome Valentine's Day!! The kids are home today for President's Day so we are headed to the mall to do some shopping. They are calling for more snow in Ohio tonight so we will probably make a quick trip to the grocery store just in case.

This week at Paper Maniac we are focusing on monochromatic cards using either blues, greens or purples. I am in LOVE with the Lilac Avenue paper pad from Kaisercraft, so of course, I chose purple! The image and sentiment are both from the Unity November store kit. I stamped the image first with Fresh Snow and then again with Plum Pudding. I used a Stamp-a-Ma-Jig to line up the image so the Plum Pudding ink would give it a shadow effect.

Make sure and check out all the NEW arrivals rolling into the store. While your there use the coupon code HEART22 to take 22% off the new Graphic 45 8x8 paper pads.

Thanks for stopping by! Check back later for the winner of my Blog Candy!!

Paper Maniac ~ Magical Mystery Blog Hop

**This is my 2nd post today ~ Click here for my SSDS Challenge Card**

Hey all! If you arrived here from Stephanie's blog, your on the right track! If not, head over to the Paper Maniac Blog to start at the beginning! All the creations you will be seeing today were inspired by a Beatles song ~ My card was inspired by the song "Her Majesty" this song is only 23 seconds long making it the shortest Beatles song ever recorded.

I really wish you could see this card in real life and it really sparkles! The crown image and sentiment are from the Unity November store kit ~ Believe in Fairytales and the glitter DP is from the Kaisercraft Lilac Ave paper pad. I used nestabilities to cut out the image and the scallop. I finished the card off with some May Arts reversible satin ribbon.
