So Proud of You

I made this late Friday night, but have not had time to post it yet.
After snow flurries on Thursday, I wasn't about to waste
the wonderful weather we had this past weekend.
This card is for my niece who just passed her driver's test.
I used the fabulous sketch by Deanna Jean at Retro Sketches
(unfortunately I missed this deadline) and colors at 
Play Date Cafe.  I will also be entering this card
at A Passion for Papertrey for their "Let's Celebrate"
challenge.  This is my second for that challenge; my
first one is in my previous post.  I am also entering it at
Simon Says Stamp where this week ~ anything goes.

April PTI Blog Hop

It's time again for the PTI Blog Hop ~ this month the
focus is on tilting ~ designing on an angle.  I combined
challenges as usual.  For the first card I used the colors 
at ColourQ, and for the second I used the "Let's Celebrate"
challenge at A Passion for Papertrey.  I had a fun discovery
recently when I realized I could use shiny confetti on my 
cards just like sequins.

Smile

One more card for the challenge at CASology for the
cue word of "word."  I actually made it last week for the 
cue word of "travel", but it seemed a bit of stretch.  I got to 
"smile" from travel thinking about how many times I tell
my son to "smile" for pictures when we travel.

Ink:  Memento Tuxedo Black
Punch:  EK Success 1 3/4" Circle Punch

Happy, Happy, Happy ...

A CAS birthday card for the glitter challenge at 
CAS-ual Fridays, the color challenge at Dynamic Duos
and the cue word of "word" at CASology.
While the colors definitely seem "boy" to me, I am hoping 
its still "boyish" enough even with the glitter and sequins.
The sequins are actually the exact same color as the ink IRL.


 

 


Supplies ~ 
Stamp:  Stampendous! N140 Happy Swirl
Paper:  PTI White, Glitz & Glitter Bright Solids
Ink:  SU Pumpkin Pie
Die:  PTI Wonderful Words Birthday

A Quick Hostess Gift

A happy surprise that the negative die cut challenge at 
A Passion for Papertrey has been extended for another 
week.  I made these for a quick hostess gift to give on 
Easter.  I CASE'd my own cards here.  This is my second 
entry for the challenge; my first entry is here.
I am also entering these at The 52 Card Pickup.
Making these as a negative die cut is easier than 
tying to glue the letter on straight ;).



I took my son and his friend to the Milwaukee Public Museum 
today to see the "Real Pirates" exhibit. Even though they were
trying to show their "mean pirate faces," this makes me smile.





Supplies ~ All by PTI
Paper:  White & Black, Soft Stone Pattern Pack
