Paper Players #56-Clean and Simple Sketch Challenge

Hello there! It's Sunday and it's time for another new challenge over at the Paper Players. I'm super excited this week because I am the challenge hostess! Eeek! This week it's all about creating a Clean and Simple (CAS) project, using the following sketch. This is actually the first time I have ever designed a sketch, so I really hope you like it and will play along with us this week! :) 
For my card, I looked no further then the big box of brand new SU! goodies that was delivered to my doorstep this week. I just LOVE the new Button Buddies set, which is designed to pair with buttons as accents on all of the images. How fun is that?? After I decided on that cute pink piggy for my card, I snagged the Friendly Phrases set for the sentiment. For some reason, the little curls made me think of a cute tail for this little oinker! This set is so sassy, I have a feeling I will be using those phrases a LOT. :) 
It went without saying, that I was using pink on this one and decided that Pool Party was a fresh new color to pair with it. I'm loving the new In Colors this year!  Especially the fun Ruffled Ribbon in those colors. I added the pearls at the end, because I thought the card needed something else. That's why CAS cards are a challenge for me. I always want to add more... 


I dressed up the inside fairly simply. This card could really be used for a few different occasions (thank you, birthday, just because...) so I am leaving it blank until I plan to send it out:
I sure hope you will join us this week at the Paper Players! I can't wait to see what you create with my CAS sketch. Please stop by and visit the rest of the lovely ladies on the Design Team, too. These gals are simply amazing! :)

    Isn't he just the cutest piggly-wiggly! Love your selection of the curly sentiment and curly ribbon to go with the piggy. These colors together are fabulous and his little pearl eyes are the best! You've made me look at this set in a whole new light! Great sketch this week too!

    AM, I LOVE the Pool Party with the pink. A genius combination. Of course, you had to ue pink with your choice of image :- It's a fabulous card. I can't wait to ink mine up. It arrived just before convention and I haven't given it any love yet. Thanks for inspiring me

    This is too cute! This set is on my next to order list already, but now I really want it! I completely understand the need to add more to cards (I have to make myself stop!), but I couldn't imagine an AM card without a little pearl or bling somewhere... Beautiful job!

    Oh.....my....gosh!!!! Is this adorable or what!?!? Anne Marie, I have had limited net access since late May and I see I have missed out on SO MUCH! I am out visiting my parents for a week and soaking up some computer time. I can't wait for mid-August to get here so I can catch up on all the adorable stuff my favorite blogs have created. Keep up the awesome work!
