Good evening!  I've been meaning to get this posted for the past two days, but time has slipped away from me!  It has been beautiful and warm and sunny here, and the 2 monkeys and I have been enjoying as much of it as possible (especially since I now have a fenced in yard to contain said monkeys!)

Competing Princesses - March Kit

Hello and I hope you are all having a nice weekend!  This is my card I put together for this month's round of competing Paper Princesses.  Our blog group is having a 3-month "competition" where we take turns hostessing a round and send each member of our group the same card supplies to make a card and see what we each come up with.  It's really fun to see what we can all make using the same supplies and they are all so unique and different.  This round was my turn to hostess, and I put together a spring kit.  Melanie was the other hostess for this round, and we decided to use a sketch as the common theme.

Supplies:

PTI cardstock

DP - DCWV

misc brads

PTI felt and flower die
