Paper Sweeties 6th Birthday!

Hi!  Paper Sweeties is 6!  Thank you, Debbie, for asking me to join your celebration.  I had so much fun creating my projects!  (Check out the video below for the mini cupcake cards.)

To celebrate being six, Paper Sweeties has a Challenge contest running through 11:59 pm EST on August 31st. The lucky winner will receive a $100 shopping spree at Paper Sweeties! Gallery viewers will vote by 'liking' their favorite projects and choosing the winner.  To link up your new celebration/birthday inspired projects, click here: Paper Sweeties.  The winner will be announced September 1st.

Paper Sweeties even has an inspiration photo for you:

Pretty color combination!

My first project is this sweetie pie dog - isn't he cute?  I love the little heart shape at his tail!

He's simply colored - just one copic (except for his cheeks).  I randomly added colored areas to get that spotted look.  I also really love the slightly wonky scallop frame - one of my new favorites!

You can see I made use of the rectangle (slightly wonky) scallop frame for these mini cupcake cards - aren't they sweet?  The watercolor is so simple and I'm really liking the monochromatic theme.  At first, I wasn't sure that there was enough contrast between the cupcakes and the background, but then I felt like they were so soft and pretty.
Here's the video on the mini watercolor cupcake cards:

Back to Ladybugs!

For the last day of this month's Paper Sweeties Release, I've gone back to Ladybugs!   I just think these particular ladybugs are as cute as a...bug!!?  They're kind of chubby and happy, don't you think?

I put together a quick set of notecards using the ladybugs and sentiments from the new Cute As A Bug set.   I love this little label with the ladybug.

For the cute as a bug card, I gently curved the acrylic sentiment.  

Easy, fun and sweet with the images already doing most of the work!  As before, be sure to check out the Paper Sweeties Blog  for all kinds of pretty inspiration.  See you there!

I'll link up at Make It Monday.
