PTI Posse Color Challenge

Well, I finally got this challenge done and a challenge it was for me. I am still not completely happy with how this came out, but oh well, live and learn right?! The challenge was to use Summer Sunrise (which I don't have), Terracotta Tile, and Enchanted Evening (I don't have this either). I used the colors closest to them and this is what I came up with. I finally got my PTI Anniversary stamp, so I used that too.

Papertrey Posse Challenge #1

So I finally realized that I took a picture of the challenge card and it already went to a little girl for her birthday! DUH!!! But here it is. I originally got this stamp for my daughter for school. She was doing an oral book report on Alice and Wonderland and her a couple of other girls had to be a character in the book and she was the Red Queen.

The card base is craft with Sweet Blush underneath it with some Cream Card stock stamped with Polka Dot Basics I (one of my all time fav's) with the circle being cut out of Bazill CS with the Impressabilities by Spellbinders, found it at my local Michael's. Couldn't believe it. I colored the crown with Copic markers and the sentiment was stamped using Color Box Chalk Ink Dark Brown. I inked the edges of the sentiment with Tim Holt'z Pink Lipstick.

I really like how it came out. Hope you do too!

Recycling, it's a good thing....

Well, it has been a few days since I have posted anything but I have been working!!! I finished my card for the Papertrey Posse monthly challenge and I like how it came out. But I can't post that until the 15th! So I started working on something to keep the cards that I have already made and are just waiting for the right occasion to send one.

Now I am into recycling and saving the planet, so I decided to re-use the boxes the the PTI stamps come in, you know the ones I am talking about, the clear plastic ones. I cut them down and then made a cover for different categories. The one I have finished and that I am showing today is for "Thinking of You" and "Thank You". I cut out a flower using the Beautiful Blooms die cut in tissue paper. I have been seeing a lot of these flowers made all over and thought I would give it a try.

Ingredients:

CS: PTI Scarlet Jewel Ink: Tim Holtz-Orange Marmalade, Fired Brick Rub Ons from Making Memories Flourish-Tim Holtz Grungeboard Stamp: Savvystamps-Lg Reverse Dots

Hope you like it! I sure do, off to make some more!!!

Baby Bunny

Well I have never created a card for a new baby, maybe because I haven't had cause for one, and I still don't. The doctor that I worked for has just had their first grandchild and I did want to make a card for him and his wife. She used to work with me in the office, but has been gone for a couple of years and now is taking care of the baby while mom and dad work during the week. I have to say hat I am quite jealous only because I wish that my parents were closer than 2000 miles away. I know that Dale is enjoying having a baby girl to ote on and buy for.

Anyway, here is the card that I made, I figured I would make two one to have on hand if the need arises or to possibly put in my stash for when I start my Etsy shop.

I really do like how they came out all sparkely, feminine but not over the top. At least in my opinion. LOL

I have to say that Beautiful Blooms II is becoming a fast favorite of mine. I have decided that I am going to make two set of cards with this stamp set, one I am going to keep and the other I am going to try and sell in an Etsy shop that I haven't set up yet. I have to make some money so I can buy more stamps!!!! LOL It's funny how you go through periods of time where you want to stamp and others you just can't seem to get it going. This past weekend all I wanted to to do was sit and stamp.

On to the card! All products are PTI unless otherwise noted.

Sister In Law's B-day

On Saturday was my SIL Birthday. We celebrated last weekend since we were already up there visiting Mommie. I usually try to make the gifts that I give her but this year she just got a card with some cash in it so she could buy what she wanted herself!!!

I felt rushed in making this card (I always seem to wait till the 11th hour), but I love how I colored the flower with the Prisma Pencils!!! It's not the best light for it either.

Mommie's Mother's Day Card

I know it isn't the best picture, but I really do like the way this card came out. I used mostly PTI products (absolutely love PTI).

I had a hard time putting this together, but think it came out pretty well, and she seemed to like the card as too.

Mother's day is one of those holidays I really enjoy. I love the fact that my family takes me out for lunch/dinner (but we usually try to do this on Sat. instead of Sunday, the crowds are just too much) and we usually see my MIL and my SIL and treat them as well. This year my darling man bought all of us ladies wrist corsages (how old fashioned), loved it!!! Then after lunch we took my MIL home and sat outside in the gazebo just chatting. It was a lovely day. Now onto the details of the card.
