PTI July 2018 Blog Hop

Hi,

Today I am participating in Papertrey Ink's July Blog Hop!  The cool inspiration photo is below.

I don't currently own any PTI ocean/fish stamps, so I used the colors as inspiration.  I thought I'd better start on Christmas cards as I never seem to have enough.  Snowman is from "PomPom Pals", and sentiment is from "Peace, Love, and Joy".

Thanks for stopping by.

PTI June 2018 Blog Hop

Hi!

It's time for Papertrey Ink's June 2018 Blog Hop!  The fun and colorful inspiration photo is below.

Here is my take on it.  I used the colors for my inspiration.

I used "Cutaway Tags: Spring" and "Banner Style".  The notecard was cut using a die from "Don't Forget to Write".

Transformation Tuesday with Laurie Schmidlin

Hi!

Today's card is for PTI's Transformation Tuesday with Laurie Schmidlin.  The idea of this challenge is to take a previous card and transform it in some way.  I transformed a card I recently made for the May Blog Hop.  Here is the old card:

And the new one:

I used the same stamp sets - "Gran's Garden" for the main image, and "Don't Forget to Write" for the sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by.
