It's the 25th

It's the 25th so the day that my blog always get some love and some color.   I love the PTI blog challenge and I played along and made 3 projects so I will be posting these throughout the week.   First the challenge was to "wrap it up".   A perfect challenge to use items from talkingtwineandtrim@etsy.com and Papertrey ink.   So here is the inspiration:

Here is my project.   I used a little treat bag from Talking Twine and Trim and cute a window in the front using the PTI seed die cut.   Then used a sheet of acetate inside the bag for the window.   Next I die cut the little felt flowers again with PTI die cuts and felt.   Next all flowers need a center so a touch of bling.   The surprise sentiment is PTI Movers and Shapers sentiments.   The bag is closed with a bit of washi tape.   Inside the bag is a seed packet of bush beans a great little gift for one of my gardening friends and ready for a birthday.

Well it looks like I will have at least 3 post this week on my blog.   That could be a record number so please if anyone looks here don't laugh.

This card uses some hand scrunched seam binding from the shop that I love, this is dusty olive.   I did this for Make it Monday challenge (MIM).   This is the first that I have played with the Sunflower stamp and I need to work on centering the center but I  LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the stamp.   The technique was to mirror image a sentiment.   It worked but it isn't as clean looking as I like but I tried it and glad I did.

Back tomorrow with a bag.

Hmmmm something cold to drink

Check out that pretty jar of pink lemonade.   Don't you want to grab a straw and just sip away.   What you don't have striped straws in your pantry.   Well check out the etsy shop talkingtwineandtrim@etsy.com and find straws in lots of colors to match up with the twine.

Two wins??? It'll never happen

Well again I played along with PTI and this time it is for the fabric challenge.   I had this pretty violet fabric scrap sitting in a basket and then there was the apron template why not just marry them up.   Next came the cute little buttons that will be in the shop next week.  More PTI stuff die cuts and the sentiment.    What a fun challenge this week.

A bit of burlap in my life

It's PTI blog hop time and it's a good thing that I like to play along as otherwise this little blog won't get any love.   It was so easy to want to play along this month.   The colors, the texture just call to my soul.  I love the look, feel and excitement fall brings.   Here is AZ we still have a good month of 100 plus temps.  

 

Enough said here is the inspiration photos from PTI.   The challenge was the colors and to use texture.  So off I went to get some burlap as I wanted to add a bit to my  project.   I love the look of layered flowers and what better place for some burlap and felt.  Of course there is loads of PTI goodness.  The die cuts, the sentiment, the felt and a first for me some PTI card stock.   Love the smokey grey.


Thanks for looking.

 

It's the 25th again..PTI blog hop

I love the 25th of the month as I always blog something then.   This month the PTI challenge was a color challenge and the colors were just yummy.   See



Here is my take and it had to be with the hexagon.  The ribbon is seam binding that is found in the shop.

PTI Stamping A Faire

Well this could be a whole lot for my little blog that doesn't get much attention so here are a few cards that I made while playing along with the challenges.   This little number was the "wake up" for the day.   It's been a long time since I touched vellum.   I used TPTI stamps


Then the challenge was all about ribbon.   I have never used this technique and I think I might use it again. The stamp and die cut are PTI.   So happy with this little card.

 This last card was so simple with a little help from Erin L who put out 6 sketches this pastMonday.   She sure opened my eyes and made me seee who it was.   Love this one with the 3 colors of twine.
