I'm enjoying these challenges! PTI SAF is always when I make the most cards- probably just because of the inspiration. The cotton one <a href="http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2017/08/saf-2017-guest-stephanie-gold.html" target="_blank">here</a> is so different & unique!</div>
<br />
<br />
Here is my card:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I used a clear cardstock sheet over the glitter card so that I wouldn't have to worry about the glitter coming off.<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

The first challenge for the weekend is to make a project with a paper embellishment. There were a few cute ideas <a href="http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2017/08/saf-2017-guest-rebecca-luminarias.html" target="_blank">here</a> and I picked the paper ribbon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you look closely you will see an iridescent thread- that is from an SAF from at least 2 years ago I believe! I'm enjoying "shopping from my stash" and using all these goodies I have (and don't use nearly enough!).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'll warn you, most of my projects will be cards and almost all will be birthday cards and thank you cards!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here's my card using Some Like it Hot & Think Big:</div>

I work hard to set aside a little time to craft once a year and because I am married to the greatest man, it is actually possible! I won't be able to participate the entire time because of a son in XC and some church commitments, but I will be here for most of the weekend!<br />

For the first time PTI is celebrating this event as a weekend event! They celebrated 10 years in February so their theme is "anniversary" and they extended the event for this year. I personally love this as my husband and I celebrated 20 years of marriage in June!</div>

and my card is here using the Black & White paper & PTI cardstock (white & Hawaiian Shores):<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

What is a little bit "awesome" here is the circle. That is from a VERY old free printout from a PTI anniversary freebie or SAF freebie from many years ago! I found it when I was getting my things together for this weekend. I had no idea if I would use it and here it is! Perfect!<br />

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 <a href="http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

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.</div>

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.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
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! </div>

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.</div>

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:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="webkit-fake-url://5df10351-7416-4625-aa43-00545fdadd59/image.tiff" /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
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.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Here is my card using Bloomers:</div>

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!<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

My last project is the wooden bangles. My first batch was a complete bust because I have a small wrist, and all of them were huge and so none would have fit my wrist or my 8 year old's. I boiled the second batch on SAF after seeing Maile's video and put them inside our Disney World Disneybands! It worked out great. </div>

We were supposed to use stamps that had the appearance of stitches. I really don't have a lot of those. But Button boutique is an older set I have and I thought I'd make a cute little "love note" for my husband who has had the kids all day (out of the house even!) while I crafted. I used both of our favorite colors and embossed the stitch look and turned the patch die into a diagonal to look a little more interesting.</div>

So over the years I have learned I am a CAS stamper. Hard on me because I REALLY love patterned paper (the scrapbooker in me, I guess), but when it comes to card making I have a hard time putting anything on the card.</div>

I love the design time member who challenged us this time. She has had some of the most interesting ones over the years. I loved the pins she chose and I even broke out a favorite set that I rarely use (my mom got me into cross stitching when I was a kid and we did it together for years- she passed away 5 years ago so it was an easy buy for me).</div>

This challenge was to use unconventional items. We could purchase up to $10 worth of items at a hardware store. I just raided my husband's "never know box." Eventually I'd love that box to become extinct... but there's always something and sure enough... that box holds the *perfect* item. Who knew it would include items for stamping??</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used the big gray circle on the right to stamp the background. I found 4 of the silver hollow disks and used 2 of them on the car. I have NO IDEA who I would ever give this card to... but it was fun! :)</div>

The challenge for this hour was to take different patterned papers (think fabrics!) and mix & match them. I don't do this well... at. all. I can use patterned paper, but unless it is spelled out for me I can't mix different ones. </div>

We had another 2 part challenge- the first part was to make felt necklaces. This challenge was the one that did make me want to buy the SAF kit, but I held off. Erin's necklace is stunning, but I really did enjoy figuring out how I was going to get all the supplies and make this for my daughter. One of the supplies was blingy buttons. I wanted something a little more durable for my girl, and these painted wooden butterflies were just the thing! I'm very happy with it!</div>

The second part of the Threads Challenge was to create a card using twine. There were 10 techniques we could choose from and I chose: Wrap twine around an embellishment before attaching it to a card. I never do this so I thought this would get me out of my box!</div>
