Nothing's the same - PDCC #64

Happy Saturday.....cold,  damp day and the grocery stores are too crowded due to the pending Bear's game tomorrow.  So, what better way to spend your afternoon than to create a card based off of this weeks challenge at PDCC.  It has been awhile since I have played, but that doesn't mean that I haven't taken a peek here or there to see the DT's gorgeous creations! :)

The color's this week reminded me of the beach or maybe that's what I wish I were looking at when I look out my window! :)  The new DT are all in full swing, and they certainly have not disappointed!  Inspiration.........the cup runneth over! Great job ladies!!

DP's used are from Pink Paislee and Making Memories, bird diecut from Quikutz, diecut cage, kraft cardstock, stamp and sentiment from PTI, decorative pin from Jenni Bowlin, flower from Prima, glitter from Martha Stewart, misc. paper heart doily, rhinestone adhesives, vintage lace, shabby seam binding ribbon and pearl adhesive.
