Another fun sketch from Pinterest. After looking through my stack of retired DSP, I pulled the Fan Fair pack because of the softer colors. I've been gravitating to the bright bold colors lately, but wanted to change it up for this card.

My Interpretation: Lots and lots of patterns to play with here. I started punching out the circles and quickly realized that I wouldn't be able to fit five circles across the card. So, I decided to modify the design just a bit to fit five circles.

Not too much crafting this week. But I did manage to finish my last two swap collections: Black + White and Scraps. Next week, I need to get back to doing my weekly Project Life spreads and do my Stamp Club HW.

Shopping Scores: So much shopping this week! I went a bit crazy, but I'm sure I'll rein myself in and not really buy anything for a few weeks.

We stopped at Joann's after the Meetup to possibly grab some Project Life supplies. Well, the location we went to (Cupertino store) doesn't stock PL. But they were having a huge President's Day sale still with 50% off stickers and embellishments and 40% off paper stacks. Plus I had a mobile coupon for 15% my entire order (sale and regular priced items). Score! I got some adorable 6x6 stacks to make PL cards and maybe some greeting cards.

Also, my two Stampin' Up orders came. Look at the huge stash! It was my hostess month for club and I went a little crazy. My extra large order plus everyone else's resulted in $80 hostess dollars! Holy crap! Here's my haul:
