April 2016 PTI Blog Hop


Well, I am happy to be playing along this month!  Seems like I have played along more in the last year than the last several years combined.  I had to "not read" the forum threads because I thought of something completely different when I saw the inspiration picture than what was being discussed on the forum this past week. :-)  You can play along here.

Here is the inspiration photo:

And here is my card:

Saturday Snail Mail: Thank You PTI Staff

This is probably my last card to enter for a challenge, but I was so glad I was able to participate.  We were asked to make (& send) a Thank You card to the warehouse staff at PTI in OH.  Being an employer, I know how important a simple "thank you" can be to the staff.

Here's my card:

Color Pop Challenge

Two posts (2 cards!) in one day.  For my blog it may be record (in years anyway).  This is for the color pop challenge.  As a kid/teen of the 80's, it was fun to make one of the "flip" paper fortune tellers.

The colors I had to use were: Summer Sunrise, Canyon Clay, and Pure Poppy.  The only way (in my mind) that these colors would work well together was to go very CAS.  More so than I usually am able to do so confidently.  I hope it looks good!

Grab & Craft PTI Challenge

PTI's 9th anniversary is still happening!  I was able to play along with their "5 minute Grab & Craft" challenge today.  I used a panel that I had stamped and colored a long time ago (maybe a year?).  Pulled out the cardstock base and cut it and then the stamp set was on my craft table (so was the bling).  Took longer to photograph and upload.


Enjoy!

PTI Dress Up Inspiration


Here is my 2nd post/2nd challenge for the day.  Who knows how many I actually will get to play along with but at least I know I can comment when I can't create a card.

Here is my fashion inspiration (from my pinterest board):

PTI 9th anniversary Project Favorites


I'm excited to be able to participate in the 9th anniversary of PTI challenges.  Today's post was using a "recipe card" of color choices to create our own card.  Here's the card I chose:
I have followed Laurie's blog for many years and love everything she does.  Her color choices were an easy choice for me because those are some of my favorites.
Here is my card using Bloomers:

January Blog Hop: PTI

Wow... Two blog hops this close together??  I am definitely getting a lot of crafty time lately and time to blog!
Here is the inspiration photo:

Here's my card:

I used papers and a die from the SAF 1960's kit.  I had just been through all my 2014 SAF kits because I am trying to purge my stash and I really like this kit and LOVE the 1980's kit.  I knew immediately how to make it all come together!

Enjoy!

Make It Monday: Matchbook Valentine

I was able to participate in this week's Papertrey Ink Make It Monday.  I made my kids some Valentine's Day treats using some very old sets... that I can't seem to part with no matter what!


Enjoy!
