Hello There

Happy Friday!

While I am glad it is the weekend, I came to the realization yesterday that school starts in 3 weeks!

Yikes!  Where has the summer gone!  I am not ready!

I made this cute card for my dear great cousin.

I have some pictures I need to mail her, so I decided to make her a card.

I used one of the die cuts Marybeth sent me with the cute birch tree behind.

I love how it turned out!

Have a terrific weekend!

Enjoy!

PTI Anniversary Day 5

Today's contest is all about Pinterest.

I love Pinterest....I have found so many great ideas.

If you are looking for crafts, recipes or ideas for anything, Pinterest is the place to go!

This is what I used for my inspiration:

I love the colors of this kitchen, the design is pretty cool too!

I have a friend who has a green island in her kitchen, it is amazing in person!

Here is my card:

I used simply chartreuse and dark chocolate ink to create my card.

Along with Through the Trees and  Little Argyle.

The sentiment is from one of the Tag It's #5.

The card stock is simply chartreuse and rustic cream.

I added jute twine and a chartreuse button.

Enjoy!

Hello There

Happy Friday! 

 I am wondering where this week has gone...way too fast! 

I am looking forward to a great weekend. 

Even though the temperatures have cooled off to be more cool like,

it is sunny and just so pretty with all of the falling leaves!

Today's card would bring a smile to any one's face.

Hello There...

 I love the brown and green together with a simple sentiment.

Have a great weekend!

Hello Friend

Over the weekend Papertrey Ink hosted Stamp a Faire in Cincinnati. 

During the day there were several challenges posted.

I was unable to participate on Saturday, so during the week I have been made a couple of cards.

The challenge for today's card was to create a card with a front cover that is cut back so you can use the extra lip to add whatever you want.

I opted to use the stamp Larger than Life on my lip.

I added the sentiment on the front to complete my card.

Enjoy!

Hello There

Monday has come and gone...where is the time going? 

The heat has definitely arrived in northern Indiana. 

The forecast is for mid 90's all week. 

 I think we will be hanging out at the pool trying to stay cool! 

 I feel sorry for the roofers who are finishing up our roof this week!

This card makes me think of cool breezes which will be needed this week.

It was fun to use an impression plate and dies to make this card complete.

Enjoy!

Hello

I purchased the umbrella dies last month and have had so much fun playing with them. 

It is always fun to use your new stamp stuff in different combinations!

I also love this color combination...bright enough to cheer anyone up!

Enjoy!

Hello

We are sending a happy hello from Chicago!  We are having a blast and too bad we have to head back to school next week!  I think we are all ready for summer!

My card was made using the Sending You set.  I am having fun using this new set!  I added a strip of pretty pastel (I have used it a lot lately...it is amazing how far once piece of paper can go!)  Of course, I had to add some buttons!  Enjoy!

Hello

Hello!  I love how sweet this card looks this time of year.  Before we know it all of the leaves will be on the ground and we will be bundling up to stay warm.  The Through the Trees  set is by far one of my all time PTI favorite sets.  I find that I go back to this set a lot when I am in a rut or need some inspiration.  Enjoy!

Hello

I loved using my epoxy stickers on the flowers to make them stand out.  Not really a pink fan but like how the card turned out.  Enjoy!
