PTI Color Challenge-#1

The Papertrey Ink  festivities continue today with a color challenge.  Nichole has asked all of the design team members to pick there favorite color combination and create a card.  Our challenge is to use the colors!  I have made several cards today to participate and my goal was not only to follow the color combination but to use a different stamp set on each card.  This was so much fun!

The first color combination I used was by Heather Nichols.

My color combo.  Enjoy!

Papertrey Ink's 4th Anniversary- #1

Papertrey Ink is celebrating their 4th anniversary this week.  It is such an exciting time because not only are they going to be giving little tidbits of what they are going offer this year but they are holding a contest each day!  Today the contest is to make a card using one of the anniversary tags.  Each one of the designer has submitted one so there are 9 to choose from!  I opted to make a couple of cards from these cute tags.  Here is the firsts one by the talented Lisa Johnson.  I thought that this would be a cute Valentine's Day card.  I hope you enjoy it and all of the other cards that will be submitted today...so much fun!  Enjoy!

Happy Birthday

Here is a simple birthday card.  I love how it turned out with ocean tides ink and button.  Plus I used my Signature Series: Butterfly Die, so fun! 

We have another snow today, the temperatures are pretty frigid and they city is still getting the roads clear.  The kids are bummed because it is spirit week and they are missing all of their dress down days!  Hopefully there is school tomorrow!  Enjoy!

Happy Birthday

Well it snowed, not a huge amount maybe about 8 inches (this is normal for this area!) at our house but we do have some big drifts!  Enough that I can't get the snow blower through them...so out my husband goes!  School was cancelled but it is a beautiful bright day, so we will enjoy some time outside playing!  I also look forward to some craft time!

Today's card is so fun because of the layers of purple and I finally inked up a new set, Signature Series: Cupcake.  I purchased a mixed bag of bakers twine from Niki Estes and found the perfect color to go with my card!  Enjoy!
