Purple is MY color . . .

 Hello friends . . .

Welcome to the 2nd week of 2026 ... already time is buzzing by!

 My favorite color is purple and when I spotted a couple challenge focusing on that color, I just had to create and join in the fun.  Those challenges are Beautiful Blossoms #36 where they have this beautiful vase of purple flowers as their inspiration . . . And the second challenge I'm playing in is over on the  
{PIN}spirational Blog, Challenge #333 for January where they have this amazing image for inspiration . .

  

 

Last year (enabled by BFF Diane - Nellie's Nest), I purchases several sheets of these Katy Sue 3D Decoupage Sheets when I saw how beautiful they were on the cards she created!   I'm afraid my photos truly  don't do them justice!  Both my phone & my camera don't pick up the color purple well but trust me when I tell you the colors in this image are beautiful IRL!

 

 Here's a zoomed in image ... hope this helps you see the beauty!

 This particular Katy Sue sheet is called 'Champage & Violets' (11-DCD609).

 

 I have even used all the word panels with the exception of the Happy Anniversary.
Here's a peek at the inside.  
I will dress it up a bit more with some prima flowers or a lacy die cut before sending.

 

 Thanks so much for stopping by today and hope your 2026 is off to a FABULOUS start!!

As always . . .
