March 2012 Blog Hop

Below is the inspiration from PTI for their March Blog Hop. I Love these colors! I am blond and I can NOT wear yellow anything (wish I could), it totally washes me out, so it was fun to stamp with yellow today. I was drawn to the yellow polka dots and the aqua satin in the photo. I used my new Medallions Bkg to make the background. On the top half of the card, I stamped the same colors but just stamped off to make it lighter.
I hope you had a wonderful weekend (I DID!).

Supplies: all PTI unless noted, Hawaiian Shores Ink, CS, & Ribbon and SU Daffodil Delight Ink & CS, Medallions Bkg, Floral Frenzy Stamp Set, Scallop die, Copic Marker for rhinestone.

Tim Holtz Creative Chemistry 101

I am taking Tim Holtz Creative Chemistry 101 online class, mainly because I am in love with on line classes. I love that I can take them from the comfort of my couch ;-) when I have time. But, I didn't know if Tim Holtz's style was for me and my simple/clean style.....but after today I think I might be falling for it. This technique is called- Blend, Spritz & Flick. Use the foam blending tool to blend colors and then flick water over top to make a cool look.

Make It Monday #54: Glitter Buttons

The Papertrey challenge this week was to make your own glitter buttons. I cut the clouds out of white CS and then put some bitty dots PP behind it for some dimension (oh and some pop dots too). My card was inspired by Debby (thank you!)

February 2012 Blog Hop

My niece's High school Basketball team made it to the State playoffs. I thought an interactive card would be perfect for her!

The challenge was to make an interactive card. A card for a teenager......a little bit of it's own challenge for me. I just kept it simple and used some bright colors. I can't wait to watch her play on Tuesday. GO SARAH!

I hope you have fun with the challenge too.

Supplies: Everyday Classics PTI, Congrats All Ways set PIT, Banner die, Christmas Label Die,
