PPC-CC #56

Hello Friends!
Hope you all had a great Easter weekend! We sure did here at the Sajkowicz house. Our little man, Tayton, enjoyed all his new goodies that the Easter Bunny and the rest of the family got him! And if I don't say so myself, I made out pretty well too -- thanks to my wonderful hubby. He took time out of his rainy Saturday day (while I was at work), to spend a couple hours in my Creative Studio to make me something sooo cute and VERY creative! :)  I'll be sure to share all of my pictures with you this week. They're all too cute! :)

So the colors this week at PPC have really got to be my all-time faves...they all just look sooo pretty together! I really had fun making my card for this challenge, too.

I also CASE'd this card from the lovely Angie Juda over at Chic 'n Scratch. Hope you like it! :)

SP Design Team Call

I've really been wanting to branch out a bit with my crafty creations, so when I saw the DT call over at SPCC/SP & Company Stamps, I knew I just had to apply! The last day to apply is today, so be sure to get there and do it...I know, I know...I wait till the last minute! ;)

Now SP & Company Stamps is: 'Sami's exclusive stamps are high quality photopolymer clear stamps. Every stamp is designed by her, Samantha Strachan Peyton. She is am a stamp lover, and her collection of stamps was designed with her fellow stamp addicts in mind. The stamps are made in the USA. The stamp materials and packaging materials are all made in the USA. These stamps are not just any other clear stamps, they are some of the BEST clear stamps on the market today. They pick up ink beautifully and leave a great impression. Plus, they are clear so you can see exactly where you are stamping. You will need an acrylic block with these stamps. More great designs will be added on a regular basis, so make sure to follow the SP blog so you don't miss a thing!'

I don't have any of Sami's stamps yet but plan on making my first order sometime this week! Her stamps are so original, fun and creative...I can't wait to use them!

When applying for the DT, Sami asks that you create a card using the color blue! So simple--I love this color, anyway. I've had some extra time lately, so I created two cards. Go here to apply!

Here are my creations:
