Papertrey May Blog Hop Challenge and ...

As usual I had too many ideas for cards for this month's Papertrey blog hop.  

I made three cards and combined each with two other challenges.  

The challenges almost seemed as though they were made to go together.

 The inspiration ~

 

This birthday card is for my Mom, and I combined it with challenges at

 Freshly Made Sketches and Ribbon Carousel.

 

 

This  week our fabulous Crewmate Andrea Ewen 

is challenging us to make some flowers out of ribbon, fabric, felt, or burlap! (Or you can just add pretty flowers to your project!)

Supplies ~

Stamp: PTI Flower Fusion # 9

Paper: PTI Vintage Cream, New Leaf & True Black

Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black

Dies & Punches:  PTI Turning a New Leaf & Beautiful Blooms II # 1, SU Curly label Punch

Additional Supplies:  PTI Vintage Cream Felt, Black Felt, Cuttlebug Embossing Folder, Button 
     from my stash (Isn't it fun?)

My next card is for Father's Day / man challenges at Simon Says Stamp! and Cas-ual Fridays.   

I could probably also enter it into the Step-It-Up ~ Mixing Patterned Papers Make it Monday, but I like the next card better for that one.

   

CFC54:  Clean And Simple masculine cards using designer paper

 Simon Says ,,,, Father's Day/Special Male Challenge :-)

 challenges at The Paper Players and Make It Monday # 67.

Betsy is following up her last fabulous  Make It Monday Video with another fun tutorial to teach you how to combine patterned papers. With three levels of difficulty (tone-on-tone pattern combining, combining papers from the same paper pack, and combining papers from your scrap basket), there's sure to be helpful tips for paper crafters of every level.

We're leaving shortly to go up north to see my niece graduate from high school, so I am going to have wait to go blog hopping, and see everyone's wonderful creations.  Coincidentally we were headed up north on the same day of March PTI Blog Hop to watch her in her last high school play.  She played the widow of a gangster, hence the heavy makeup.  Here is a picture of her with my son.  

Thank you so much for hopping by!  For those of you in the US, hope you have a lovely, relaxing Memorial Day weekend.
