Spring Bling #46 - With Heartfelt Thanks

This is just so exciting...posting my first card on the Paper Dolls Blog.  I am so honored to be part of this incredibly talented group of ladies.  I made this card as a thank you card for everyone who was so sweet to hop along with Joyce - Cards-by-the-Sea in celebration of my birthday.  Then I got to thinking that this would be a great card to post for the Spring Bling challenge.

Don't forget to scroll down to the original post by Renee and Suzanne and read more about some wonderful Blog Candy.

Spring Bling Prayers

Here's my card for our Paper Doll Spring Bling challenge. I decided to get Faith & Hope from PTI when another person in our lives was battling cancer.  I decided she needed a better card than "Get well" or "Feel better" because she was diagnosed so late.  I wanted this card to show her cancer is limited and she deserves a bright card WITH bling because life isn't over yet.  She still has the ability to fight and we are all behind her fighting with her and praying with her.

The pearls are the perfect bling touch to this feminine card and we hope you will play along.  Just use spring colors and BLING.

Enjoy!

Paper Dolls Challenge...

what number is this?
*giggle*
Can you tell we've all been a little busy...
and kind'a let some challenges pass us by?
I think we've all been through a lot lately...
kids...
family...
work...
remodels...
some life altering events...
we've had some full plates the last few months.
So I'm going to try my best to get us all back on track!
The "experts" say the best way to get some creative juices flowing...
finding your mojo...
is to CASE someone...
so that's exactly what I'm going to challenge everyone to this week.
And my target...
the woman who sees the world through rainbow colored glasses...
whose talent with color combos awe and inspire...
the one...
the only...
Dawn McVey.

So the challenge is to go over to her inspiring blog...
My Favorite Things...
spend some time...
like you don't already ;) ...
and find a card of hers that delights...
inspires...
and then CASE!

Now I chose the card I did because it sold me on this set last month.
It was already on my radar...
bleep...bleep...bleep...
but this card zeroed in on the target...
and BOOM!
Mine.

Why did this card sell me on the set?

Because when you are still making cards on December 23rd...

like someone who shall remain nameless...

*giggle*...

you want something...

quick...

easy...

and what is easier than this?

A CAS one layer card that can be popped into the mail and onto it's destination in minutes...

so that way at least the postmark reads that it was mailed before December 25th...

and in a particular person's world...

that means you're early!

*giggle*

So here's what I did...

I changed the colors just a bit...

because...

not including my musical tastes...

I'm a very traditional kind of girl.

Though in real life...

I'm actually a white light girl...

but white doesn't show up too well on white so...

I went with traditional colored bulbs...

red, green, orange, yellow and blue.

And then I used my fave sentiment from the set...

and in mere minutes...

viola!

That's all it took to create this.

Perfect for those annoying people...

who shall remain nameless...

that wait until the last minute to start working on their Christmas cards.

So show me your best Dawn McVey...
and link up your creation with the linky provided here...
