Sweet Suite - IIBH May

 



Today I am hopping with Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop for the first time!




The theme for this hop is:    Sweet Suite

Now you would think that this should be a really easy theme as all you have to do is choose any current suite and highlight it, but not for me! My middle name should be 'indecision'!! 😜

I really struggled to chose between Pansy Petals Suite, Simply Elegant Suite, Expressions In Ink Suite and Hand-Penned Suite! They are all my favourite!!!

Anyway, Pansy Petals Suite ended up being the one I chose. I hope you enjoy my Sweet Suite card!

  5. Hi Deb, I think you made an excellent choice. I really like your color combo and the background paper but the touch of the bumblebee was perfect.
