Ohhhhh another PTI sketch challenge

Love the 5 new sketch sp I broke out the supplies as I I'm need of a couple of thank yous. Plenty of PTI goodies to play with but always wanting .

PTI's YOF Lily of the Valley

I bought the Lily of the Valley stamp set sometime ago and have tried it a couple of times.   NO success and this stamp set has beat me.   So this morning when I saw that there were die cuts to go with it I might win the fight.   So to do the challenge was to leave a comment or to make a project using one of the YOF's stamp sets.  Hmmmmm problem I only have one and that one is Lily of the Valley.   Comment/Project???? Which is it.   Well I made this card and I have to admit I was happy with the finished project.   The small stamp made a very pretty background.   My coloring still stinks but this will work for a friends someday.  The sentiment is from Flower Fusion 2.

MIM got PTI stuck on black

Well apparently I am stuck in black land for stamping and scrapping.   This Monday morning when I looked at the video I knew I was making one.   The PTI challenge is to make a favor box and then stamp on it.   Well I kind of did that.   I pulled out my pretty printed PTI pattern paper and decided that was the base and it scream wedding to me.   So I pulled out the Love and Marriage stamp set and saw that I had never inked up the "Going to the Chapel" stamp.   Found my "Fresh snow" stamp pad and this is my creation.   Had a blast making up this little pillow box.   This die cut is getting used over and over in my creations.  

PTI In the Black

It's another PTI blog hop and I just had to play along with the challenge of the black background.   I bought the little fruit stamps and dies quite sometime ago and haven't played with them so I knew what PTI products I had to use.   Stamping with white ink continues to be something I need to work on but here is my product.

 

I love how the colors pop against the black card stock.  I topped them off with green seam binding and then a attached a piece of twine.   Each piece of fruit has a bit of glitter. OF course there are PTI products.   The fruits are PTI stamps and die cuts.   The sentiments are PTI and the tag die cut is PTI too.   

Here is the PTI blog and the inspiration photo for this challenge.

MIM for PTI and I really am excited about 100 GC

If you don't know what all of those letters mean let me just say that 100.00 GC does motivate a girl.   This weeks challenge was to package up one of those cards that has a "bit extra" on it.   The over hanging 3-d flowers and pin need the extra large envelope.   I love that this card is an everyday card but I don't know WHY I did fall colors.  This card is loaded with Papertrey Ink goodness.   The paper flowers are made with PTI dies, the sentiment, the hounds touch stamped back ground.  Love the challenge Dawn!

Bakers Twine the perfect tag attacher

Yes I know that attacher isn't a real word but it works here.   I love how easy bakers twine threads through the hole of a tag.   I love tiny tags too.   Here it is hard at work.

Been Away for way to long

First today is Summer's Birthday...her first.   I wish N and I were with her as she continues to grow, learn and move.   Move is what she does best.   She has clothes and books coming her way which after watching her unload her clothes cabinet in fine fashion new bright things will be great.

Next up I have teamed up with one of my scrapping friends Betty to see if justabitofpaper@etsy.com can make a go of it.   We had a good Christmas with tags, bags, and a few cards.   Stop by if you are curious or have some tagging needs.   Here is a card going in the shop.   It is a set of 2 and of course is some PTI goodness.   The stamp and die card are PTI.   Have a great day.
