Happy Birthday Taylored Expressions

 It is Taylored Expressions Birthday and they are playing games to celebrate. What fun!

I am playing along with the Tic Tac Toe game, I picked the diagonal from top left to lower right- 

use rhinestones, ribbon to make a bday card. 

I just got my new TE goodies! I love this new Party Banner Cutting plate (so cute) and the matching stamp set - Big Bold Birthday! The pattern paper is from My Minds Eye Cambridge Court, and the sentiment is embossed with white EP from Stampin Up.

Hope you like it and have a great weekend!

PTI Stamp-a-faire Farewell

I was really looking forward to this weekend and I am sooooo sad it is all over. My wonderful friend Kriss has hosted the PTI SAF for the last 3 years. She made us breakfast, cupcakes, Italian sodas etc. It was wonderful! Thank you to Kriss, PTI and the Design Team. I had so much fun and I made 25 card and 4 non card projects (fun stuff for my kids). I think I did well! Thank you, can't wait for next year!

PTI Stamp-a-faire Gallon:Quart:Pint Challenge #2

When my hubby wants a sympathy for a co-worker he always wants it to my simple and not so 'girly'. So, that is my extra challenge with this one. I used the Mat stack dies for the focal point and embossed the PTI Botanical Silhouettes stamp set on some old light blue PP (quart). The background, I used a SU embossing folder with PTI Kraft CS (gallon) and the mat and the sentiment is in enchanted evening (pint).

PTI Stamp A Faire: Gallon:Quart:Pint Challenge

This was a challenge in a challenge for me. This card is also part of a note card set from my grandmother and I didn't want any height to the card - so no dimensionals, no ribbon, totally flat (which is very hard for me). I used enchanted evening as my gallon, the spring rain as my quart and the simply chartreuse as the pint.

SAF 2013: Sprinkle of Salt Techniques

Love this saying from The With Sympathy set from Papertrey, it so beautiful. I used watercolor paper, ink and of course salt to make the background before I die cut the star background (memory box- I think). I will be making this one again for sure!

I used the sketch and colors below.

I really, really love these colors! So vibrant and stunning! I did move the sentiment, I just thought it fit in the circle just so cute there. The flowers are added at different dimensions. I hope you like it and have a great evening! (Stamp set - PTI Bigger Blooms)

July 2013 Blog Hop

This is the inspiration I used for my very simple card. I just love pink and green together (all year long). I did add Scarlet Jewel ink for the sentiment. If you look really hard, I added very subtle sparkle to the flowers. I hope you like it and have a great night!
