April 2013 Blog Hop

I know, I know!  I haven't wrote a post in 4-EVER!!  What can I say, I have 4 kids (ages 2-11) they keep me busy!  I have gotten crafty a few times here and there!  Well I finally am able to participate in Papertrey Ink's Blog Hop again, this time, the April edition!  And the challenge is to have tilted images or sentiments. I started looking back at past cards to see if I had done this already without knowing it.... and with no luck, I had not.... so a challenge it was!  It wasn't too hard to execute.... just a little bit of thinking and it wasn't too far out of my comfort zone. :)  

The details are below - thanks for stopping by!!

MIM #105

Here is my take on the Make It Monday Challenge!

This was a card a "cas'd from Pinterest!  The original creator used ribbon where I have glitter trim!  Ribbon & I do not get along well, so the glitter trim was a good substitute!

Supplies: (all PTI unless otherwise noted)

Paper: Stampers Select White

Stamps: Dot Spot & YOF: Lily of the Valley (sentiment)

Ink: True Black & Enchanted Evening (Stamped off)

Other: Martha Steward Glitter & Rhinestone

PTI February Blog Hop

I haven't posted since September, bad blogger, bad I know!  Anyways, here is what I whipped up!

So here is the challenge!

Pull out your letter stamps and alphabet dies and create something monogrammed!  It can be a gift for someone special or a treat to keep for yourself!  You could monogram a set of notecards, stationery, coasters, journals, home decor or anything else you can dream up!  Have fun and experiment with combining different fonts, pairing up stamped & die-cut letters, pull-out neglected patterned papers to use as backgrounds, add texture with impression plates and you can even play around with with unique color combos!  We can hardly wait to see what YOU create!


So without further ado... here is what I whipped up!  I used the new Papertrey Ink stamp set Irresistibly Ikat!  LOVE THIS NEW SET!  I even made some Project Life cards for a friend with it!  I may share that in another post!

Supplies: (all PTI unless otherwise noted)

Paper: Kraft, Stamper's Select, Simply Chartreuse, True Black

Stamps: Irresistibly Ikat from PTI, & Lawn Fawn Quinn's ABC's

Ink: Fresh Snow, Simply Chartreuse, & Spring Rain

Other: 2.25" punch

Card Swap Cards!

Hi friends!

Just wanted to share my cards I made for a card swap I recently signed up for!

I signed up 4 for groups (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas & Valentines).  I didn't realize when I signed up that they ALL WOULD BE DUE October 5th!  What, all at once, I thought maybe due the month before..... anyways, I overreacted for about 5 mins, lol and then got down to crafty business, and totally surprised myself and finished the majority in 1 day and then finished the next day!  YEAH!!!!!

I am also using this particular blog post to link up to Papertrey Inks Mr. Bones Spook Out Blog Hop with my Halloween Card.
