For Mom

Hi!

Today I have a card for two challenges - Gina K Designs Release Party Challenge: Cut it Out,
and Simon Says Monday Challenge: In Your Garden.

I copied my layout from last week, using different stamps.  Flowers are from Gina K Designs "Bold and Blooming", and sentiment is from GKD's "Stately Flowers  6".  

Enjoy your week.

Papertrey Ink February Blog Hop Challenge

Hi!

It's time for Papertrey Ink's February Blog Hop Challenge!  Our card or project is to be based on the following fun photo.

I found my inspiration in the colors, and came up with this:

I used PTI's "Cutaway Tags: Spring" for the image, and "Banner Style" for the sentiment.  The borders are cut using the "Filigree Border Die".

Thanks for stopping by.

Framing Sentiments and Images

Hi!

Today I have a card for PTI's MIM 312: Framing Sentiments and Images.  

Images are from PTI's "Don't Forget to Write".  These images were part of the kit- I just had to cut them out.  I still have to play around and stamp my own one of these days.  Sentiment is from "Stylish Sentiments: Birthday".

Have a great weekend!

Only Dies

Hi!

Today is day 7 of Papertrey Ink's 11th Anniversary celebration!  The challenge today is to use only dies on our project - no stamps.  This is what I came up with: 

Large heart and small hearts are from PTI's "Shakers and Sprinkles", sentiment is from "Wet Paint Cuts Die Collection".  The medium hearts are also from PTI, but I can't recall the name.  This is for my dear hubby for Valentine's Day.

I am also entering this in Simon Says Monday Challenge: Love is in the Air, and this week's Modsquad's Challenge: Have a Heart.

Thanks for stopping by!

PTI's Anniversary Challenges: Floral Challenge and Retired Set

Hi!

I'm back with cards for two of Papertrey Ink's Anniversary Challenges.  The first one is a Floral Challenge.  Easy peasy - we just had to use florals on our project.  : )

The background die is PTI's "Mix and Mat: Scallops Die".  Flower is from "Filled with Joy", leaves are from "Natural Beauties",  and sentiment is from "Banner Style".

The next challenge is to use a PTI set that will be retiring.  There are lots of sets on this list - there is still time to grab the ones that you have had your eyes on.  Butterflies are from "Butterfly Kisses" (soon to be retired).   Background is "Garden Gild".

I have one more post for tonight.  I was fortunate to have this weekend off, so I made the most of it.  Be back in a few.

PTI's Transformation Challenge

Hi! 

The celebration continues at Papertrey Ink!  For this second challenge, we were to take a card we've made in the past, and transform it in some way.  I made this card awhile ago:

I changed it up, and came up with this:

I used the "Garden Gild" frame along with a PTI "Congrats" die.  Butterfly is from "Butterfly Dreams".

Be right back.
