It's Papertrey Ink's big anniversary celebration! I am always so inspired by their monthly release posts, their design team is top notch. I was inspired by Dawn McVey's card in this post: http://dawnmcvey.typepad.com/these_are_a_few_of_my_fav/2016/02/introducing-tulip-time-spring-woods-and-splits.html The placement of the flower started it off. Then I did my own thing from there! Thanks... Continue reading

I'm participating in the Muse Challenge #123 today. My online stamping crush, Joan Bardee, is the Muse. I met Joan a few years ago at a PTI Stamp A Faire event that I drove to down in Virginia. She was super nice that day, and I have followed her blog... Continue reading

There has been so much great stuff for this anniversary...as always! I think my favorite so far is the Mini Make It Market sets. Everything Betsy does is amazing!
15 birds. The mini kits are awesome! Such a relief to have them easier on the budget as well as always available.
I can definitely see myself using Blue Skies. Especially with some of the existing PTI products. Great artwork today!

I definitely use metallics already in my crafting. How can you not??! I use gold and silver embossing powder quite a bit. It works on all colors of cardstock, and is just so luxurious.

Day 5's PTI challenge was to use a stamp set that hasn't seen ink. I bought this Make a Wish set used, but hadn't used it myself yet. I also hadn't yet used the Think Big Favorites sentiment. I think this card is springy and cheerful! The patterned paper is... Continue reading

Winning a Year of Stamps would be A.MAZ.ING. I don't even have words for how amazing it would be. I would use the year to catch up on purchasing all the old sets that have yet to come home with me!
The gift tags are the icing on the birthday cake! So cute and easy!

I told you I hate the whole photographing and uploading process, right? I don't know how people keep up with daily blog posts with perfectly staged photos. Clearly I'm doing something wrong. Anyway, I did two more cards inspired by Danielle Flanders' Make It Monday 196, Colorful Card Corners. I... Continue reading

When I saw Ardyth's post for the latest CAS-ology challenge, I knew I had to play along. I'm in Valentine's day mode with this one, obviously. I cut the numbers on my Silhouette. The sentiment is from PTI Love Songs (an oldie but goodie!). The chevron paper is from a... Continue reading

I rarely get the chance to play along with PTI's Make It Monday challenges, mostly because I just don't have time to make a card, photograph it, and do a whole blog post about it. I'm trying to get better about that. This is my interpretation of Danielle Flanders' latest,... Continue reading

Yet another one using the fabulous sketch from this week's CAS(e) This Sketch. I used PTI Embellished Elegance on this one. Again! I snuck the word 'birthday' in from Everyday Happiness. I used Hibiscus Burst, Aqua Mist, Simply Chartreuse, and some Fresh Snow. Thanks for looking! Continue reading

This card uses a large word focal point, for the PTI Word Challenge. This was a card commissioned from a bride who had an Asian theme wedding and shower, so I used traditional colors. Continue reading

I love using words as the focal point of my cards and projects. I have been making these 'framed inspirations' for a while, using a lot of PTI products. Here is one of my favorites, using the chalkboard technique. The frame is from Michaels. I get my frames from Michaels,... Continue reading
