i often...

Hello friends!!  Today is March 25th and that means time for a new PTI blog hop.  I had set a goal for myself to participate in the PTI blog hops on a more frequent basis, but one thing or another came up and I just didn't have the time.  But this month I made sure that I knew in advance what the challenge would be and I got my card done... YAY!  

Over the last few months I have noticed more and more cards that used sequins on them instead of rhinestones and pearls.  I was intrigued and started to look around to see who might sell them.  The first place I checked was Ellen Hutson and much to my delight I saw that she carries them.  So far I have purchased four different colors and will probably added to my collection in the near future!  For my blog hop card I used the PTI set Half & Half and a layout from Deconstructed Sketches.  I went with a green, black and white color combo and after I was done making the card realized that maybe I should have used a different sentiment as this isn't a real sunshiny kind of card!  Anywhoo... it is what it is.   I didn't use a ton of sequin (although I did have an idea that would have used lots, lol!), but sometimes you don't need a lot of something to make an impact. 

Thanks for stopping by...
