Papertrey Ink Blog Hop and NBUS

March 2015 Blog Hop
Also adding this to : City Crafter Challenge Blog
Our sweet friend Darnell Knauss is the special guest star! 
Congrats Darnell!

Hello! I made many card attempts before I decided on this CAS card. 



I made this card over the weekend as well, couldn’t wait to make something with my new Sweet Shop. I added a few clouds and just a bit of chalk for the blue sky.







































 Thanks for stopping by.

    Marybeth, your hop card is just perfect. CAS, yes, but with so much interest! Mine is CAS as CAS could be...you've got me wishing I'd spiced it up a bit. :) And I love your sweet shoppe card. It really is the perfect set for you.

    Love your PTI Hop card! Those Bitty Bouquets are just the sweetest. Love your NBUS Challenge card, too, it's so cute. Of course there should be several bikes at a Sweet Shop, it's such a yummy place to meet up with friends.

    Love both of your sweet cards! What did you use for a background on the Bitty Bouquet card? Love it!!
    I almost got the sweet shop but I hesitated because I thought the scale was too small for cards. It looks really great! It's going on my wish list now. The only way they could improve that set would be to make it the same scale as City Scapes. Thanks for the inspiration Marybeth!

    Loving both of your cards Marybeth! What did you use for your background on the 1st card...absolutely love that wave of words and the little bouquet is perfect against it! Sometimes CAS really is the best! And I love your sweet shoppe card too...haven't had a chance to play with mine yet.

    Marybeth, if you get many more comments, I'm going to have to start calling you Darnell junior, lol!! But the comments are warranted. You've made two "I'm so in love with these cards" cards. The colors and patterns and design of the first nearly took my breath away. Gorgeous. And the Sweet Shop card...amazing. I'm trying to hold off ordering this one. Just love the little scene you've created. Really wonderful cards. Bev

    WOW, two really fabulous cards, Marybeth! Your darling little scene makes me smile all over! As a former dedicated paper doll girl, I am itching to push the bikes up and down the road and pretend I have pocket money to stop and shop at the Sweet Shop! So, so fun!! Thank you so much for playing in my NBUS Challenge #4!! Hugs, Darnell
