Featured Paper Pack: Make Waves Blog Hop

This month's featured paper pack is Make Waves, an adorable "under the sea" collection!  You're going to love seeing some creative ways to use this collection along this month's hop.  (If you're already hopping then you've arrived from Shirley's blog.  From here, you'll visit Kathleen's blog next.)

For this hop, I challenged myself to use some of the Picture My Life cards on cards instead of scrapbook pages/pocket pages.

This card uses the Southern Sass stamp set paired with two of the different patterned papers and the pink 3"x4" card.  I stamped the sentiment with Pixie ink, distressed the edges with Emerald, and accented it with the pretty Make Waves gems.

For my second card, I cut off about 1/4" off the card and then stamped this Southern Sass sentiment with Pansy ink.  I used the Make Waves shimmer trim on top and below the Emerald patterned paper.

 Again, the flower sequins add nice sparkle and dimension.

My final card only uses PML cards plus shimmer trim and purple Make Waves gems.  (Did you notice the one in the mermaid's hair?)  Even though my girls have outgrown the mermaid phase, this will make a sweet birthday card for a little redhead I know.

Thanks for visiting my blog along the Make Waves blog hop.  Before you head to Kathleen's blog, please leave me a comment.  Then go make some waves!
