LOVE SPARKLES WITH SWEET SUNDAY

Happy Monday Everyone!

Don't the weekends just fly by to fast? Mine just flew, my daughter was here for the weekend before leaving for Florida this morning for spring break. Although our weather was beautiful this weekend I wish I was going with her!

In between spending time with Megan I was able to do a little stamping too!

Today's card was inspired by Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge #60 and this week's OCC color challenge. This card was super easy and fast to make with no stamping involved! As soon as I saw the sketch I knew I wanted to use something other then flowers, my first thought was 'Stars' but soon realized I didn't have the set I wanted to use so the next thought was 'Hearts'. I LOVE the 'Simply Scrappin' set 'Love Sparkles' and knew this would fit the bill perfectly!

Thanks for stopping by!

RECEIPE:

STAMPS: None

PAPER: Old Olive, Pretty in Pink, Simply Scrappin' - 'Love Sparkles'
