PTI Blog Hop time: Buttons!

The theme for this month's blog hop is buttons.  I used PTI's Everyday Button Bits stamp set and buttons from their Spring Mix buttons.  I know I didn't do anything creative with my button project--my mojo took off with my good health!  Stupid allergy season.  I am looking forward to seeing all the creative ways buttons will be used on this hop.  I'm sure I'll be inspired.

Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies:  All supplies by Papertrey Ink unless otherwise noted.  Rustic White, Hibiscus Burst, Melon Berry cardstock.  Pattern paper from Spring pattern paper.  Stamp set used is Everyday Button Bits.  Buttons from Spring Mix button collection.  So Saffron cardstock and ribbon from SU!  Paper bag paper from The Paper Studio.  Deckled rectangle nestabilities from Spellbinders.

TGIF!

Happy Friday everyone!  I got my new Papertrey Ink order in yesterday afternoon and immediately made this card.  I used the new Delightful Dahlia stamp set and coordiating dies.  Let me tell you how AWESOME it was to not have to hand cut the flower and leaves.   I can't convey how much I love this new Green Boutique pattern paper. It's even prettier in person.  The new color, Hawaiian Shores, is a must have too!  Gorgeous! 

The photo below is a color comparison for you to give you a idea of how Hawaiian Shores compares to other shades. In person it's more of a green turquoise than a blue and even more so when you hold it next to Tempting Turquoise.  It's actually closer to SU's Bermuda Bay (only much lighter) even though it may not seem so in my photo.  Click on the photo for a better view of the colors.

Guess what I get to do today?  More cleaning! UGH  My kids and I are messy creatures.

Love Song

I made this card with one of my recent stamp set purchases called Just a Note from Wplus9 Design Studio.  I know St. Patty's Day was yesterday but green is my favorite color all year round--lots of green on this one!  I had a hard time getting a good shot of this card.  The ribbon color looks much better in person. 

Thanks for stopping by! Unfortunately, I have to get back to my cleaning.

Supplies:  PTI cardstock in Rustic White and True Black.  Pattern paper is Halloween paper from the Trick or Treat collection by Fancy Pants.  Ribbon is PTI Spring Moss.  Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Versamark Ink  and American crafts Black Glitter finish embossing poweder.

Thank you card

I almost said, Happy Monday! the I realized it is actually Tuesday.  My kids did not have school yesterday and I'll probably have my days screwed up the rest of the week.

I picked up some real wood paper (?) from my LSS recently and wanted to try it out on a card.  I feel funny saying "real wood paper" since all paper comes from wood, but this paper is like...fresh wood.   I got the thick cherry 12x12 sheet and cut out a piece with a circle nestie.  I really like the look the wood gives to this card.  Colored the image from Autumn Abundance (PTI) with copics.  Cardstock is all PTI, terracotta tile, melon berry, rustic white.  Ribbon is terracotta tile too.  I've got the sewing machine out, so you'll be seeing lots of stitching.

Thanks for dropping by!

SG14: Frenzified

Sketch Girl has a brand new sketch challenge today with Frenzified as our sponsor.  The winner of this challenge will receive a $15 shopping spree to the Frenzified store and will receive a special not yet released image!

Morgaine Ford-Workman is the owner/artist behind Frenzified and gave the design team some images to play with.  I love cupcakes, so I went with an image from the Birthday Bakes collection and this awesome sentiment.  I adore this font and arrangement of this sentiment. 

I went with a fresh, bright color scheme as I'm ready for Spring!

JUGS challenge

I was inspired to participate in the current JUGS challenge since the sponsor is Wplus9 Design Studio -- I love her stamps!--and I like the sketch.  

 I adore this ribbon I found at Michael's and used it to inspire my color combo.  I used the stamp set Funky Foliage from Wplus9 and actually pulled out my sewing machine for this one.  Sewing in a circle was a unique experience!  I also stamped a background using the Tin Types background set from PTI. 

Thanks for stopping by!  

Spring Basket

Only one more day until Friday!  Even though I stay home, I still look forward to Friday.  The weekend is a change in our routine and I enjoy getting up when I wake up--unless the kids wake up before me. grrrr.

I've had this template in the works for a bit and finally decided to finish it up and make it available since Easter is this month.  You can use this basket all year round and you can leave off the fence and even the handle and still have a cute template.  I'll let you know when this template is available in the Wild Flower Patch shop.  I still have to finish up some things to go with it. I would have had it ready with the last release, but my daughter didn't like it and I put it aside.  Once I got my confidence back, I thought I'd finish it. LOL  I think she'll like this one.

I used an image from Inktegrity.  The sentiments I used come with the image and it's called Bunny Gift.  I saw the image on Julie's blog and knew it would be perfect for this template. 

It holds quite a bit of stuff too! 

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a wonderful Thursday!
