August Papertrey Blog Hop

I was going to skip this month's PTI Blog Hop after 
being gone for the weekend, but then I found the 
washi tape that I used on this card, and I decided to join in.
  My new Latte Love set was on top of my desk, 
and this card came together rather quickly for me.  
This will be a perfect card to send a coffee gift card in.

Party this Way

A quick post before heading up north to see my sister.
I worked all of my hours for the week, so I have a rare
three day weekend ;).  I made ten of these for my son's
birthday invitations.  They definitely give the sense 
of movement.  I am entering them at Less is More 
for their round and round challenge.

Sending You Get Well Wishes

I combined the color challenge at Dynamic Duos and the 
sketch challenge at Freshly Made Sketches to make a 
get well card for one of my coworkers.  My trash can is
quite full after this one, but I am happy that I kept tweaking
it.  It may be difficult to see, but I  did add the dessert option
of a subtle embossing with the linen impression plate.


 

Supplies ~
Stamps:  PTI Sending You, SU Vintage Vogue & En Francais
Paper:  PTI White, SU Pool Party & Basic Black
Ink:  PTI Soft Stone, SU Pool Party & Memento Tuxedo Black
Additional Supplies:  PTI Linen Impression Plate & Recollections Glitter Dots

CASology & CAS-ual Fridays

One more card today ~ for challenges at CASology and
CAS-ual Fridays.  At CASology the cue word is "picnic"
and a button is needed at CAS-ual Fridays.  When I think 
of picnics, I think of insects ;), instead of ants, flies and 
mosquitoes, I decided to go with a beautiful, non-pesky
butterfly.

Welcome Baby Girl

A card for Melissa at Oh, Smudge! and CASology.
We were just leaving on vacation when the post went up 
for her baby shower. Wow, a baby girl after three boys ~
A huge Congratulations!  Despite the lack of white 
space, it still seems somewhat CAS to me.


Since I had all of the hexagons cut, I made one more 
for a coworker.  She doesn't know yet if it is a girl or boy,
but my prediction is girl ;).   I am entering this one at

So Sweet of You

A bit of a break from making cards and blogging.  My son 
qualified for nationals in track, and we decided to make 
it a vacation.  He came no where close to winning, but it
was a great experience, and he did have his personal best for
the long jump.

This card is for challenges at CASology where the cue word
is "dessert," and at A Passion for Papertrey where the challenge
is to use to three embellishments.  I used die cuts, sequins and 
rhinestones.


Three more cards using the die and paper instead of embellishments ~ 



Supplies ~ 
Stamps:  PTI Signature Greetings
Paper:  PTI Soft Stone & Rustic White, SU Pink Pirouette
Ink:  PTI Hibiscus Burst
Die:  PTI Shape Up Series: Cupcake
