Papertrey Ink - Make It Monday #348 and Transformation Tuesday

Hello...popping in today with 2 cards, both are for Valentine's Day, it is right around the corner and thought I would get a bit of a head start on my cards. My first card is for MIM #348 - Lotsa Letters, I used PTI's Headlines Alphabets and their Edgers Die #4. 

My second card is for TransformationTuesday and I am redoing a card using their sweet XOXO set, just love these wonderful hearts. I pulled out all the pink ink pads from my Gina K collection, love all the sweet colors. 

I remade this card. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy your day!

Hello....Happy Wednesday! Popping in with a quick post sharing my banner for this week's Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday #340 - Banner-ific. I pulled out Tag Sale #9, Fancy Flakes and Sparkle & Shine: Holiday Additions. It was so quick and fun to make.

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy your day!

Next Thursday, November 1st starts Tracey from In My Creative Opinion 25 Days of Christmas Tags and I am so excited to be part of her team again this year. Hope you will find some time to play along with us and find inspiration in all the beautiful and incredible tags that will be shared.

Make It Monday and more....

Hello....popping in with 3 cards today. First one is for the current Make It Monday #334 - Glitter Inlays over at PTI. I pulled out the Winter Quilt die...I love glitter and just love the way it looks with this die. I used Winterberry for my sentiment.

Next card is for Papertey Ink's Transformation Tuesday. I used Mum's the Word stamps and remade a card I made last week. For my transformation I added twine and used the cover up grid. 

Final card in my trio is for the current challenge at Paper Players #407 - Sketch. I used PTI"s Omber Builders and the Halloween images are from SSS - Not So Spooky. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy your day!

Crafting with sweet friends, and a few challenges too!

Hello....last week I spent time crafting with Joyce from Cards By The Sea in her beautiful home and simply amazing craft room. Honestly I always feel like a kid in a candy store with all of her supplies, it is always so much fun to play with stamps and dies I don't have. I made 20 cards fronts in 3 days of crafting, eating, chatting and even an incredible walk on the beach! On Tuesday Joyce invite Jacquie from What I did Today to spend the day crafting with us and she brought lots of stamps to share too! We had a blast, Jacquie is as sweet as can be, it was such an honor to meet this talented lady.

I made this card for last week's MIM at Papertrey Ink but did not get it posted in time. I love Gran's Garden stamps, they are beautiful in pretty much any color combination. 

This card is for this week's Make It Monday #332 - Petite Pattern Play. I pulled out Happy Haunting stamps, thought all of the spooky eyes would look perfect for a Halloween card. 

My final card for this post is one I made with Jacquie and Joyce using these fabulous drink stamps from MFT. I found some inspiration on google and changed it up a bit. This set was so much fun to play with, thanks Jacquie! I am entering this card in the current challenge over that Time Out #115 - Food and Drink. 

Papertrey Ink - Make It Monday #322 Above and Below

Hello...popping in today with my card for this week's Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday #322. I pulled out Sweet Holiday Wishes for the cookies and sentiment is from Christmas Cheer. So fun to add another Christmas card in my stash! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy your day!

Make It Monday #317 - Using Outline Images

Hello...Happy Monday! Popping in with a quick post with my card for this week's Papertrey Ink - Make It Monday #317. Such a fun card to make! I used Up Up and Away...a set that had not seen ink in quite some time! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by, enjoy your day!

Papertrey Ink Make It Monday #314

Hello...popping in with my card for this week's Make It Monday Challenge #314 at Papertrey Ink. This week's challenge is to make a card with a color wheel. I love these sweet bunnies from Simply Sweet Borders and the sentiment is from Sweet Spring. This card was so much fun to make! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy your day!

Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday #309

Hello....popping in with my card for this week's PTI Make It Monday #309. I do not have any PTI stencil's so I took the hearts coverplate and made my own. I used pink and red embossing powder for all the hearts, this was so much fun to do! I used their Heart Prints stamps and dies to finish off my card. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy your day!

Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday #296 - Small Images on Repeat

Hello...popping in with my card for this week's Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday #296 - Small Images on Repeat. I pulled out this sweet stamp set from PTI, Heart-2-Heart #1 and stamped the cup warmers in fall colors. And the Hello is from Heart-2-Heart #4, the coffee word die is from Verve. Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy your day!

Papertrey Ink Make It Monday #293 - Color Slider Card

Hello...popping in my version of a magic slider card for this week's Make It Monday at PTI. I don't have many stamps from PTI that are just the outlines so I used these fabulous witches feet and broom from Friendship Jar Fall Fillers. Since the image was a bit larger than the one Lizzie used in her inspiration card, it took up most of my card front, but I am still pretty happy with how it turned out. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy your day!

Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday #215

It has literally been forever since I have played along with PTI's Make It Monday. I loved this week's challenge and could not wait to get started. Playing with their Petite Places stamps and dies are so fun to use (MISTI makes all the difference in the world in stamping). I could not think of anything to stamp on my card front so I embossed it. 

I had a fun day...met my daughter and sister for lunch, had some yummy Mexican food at The Tortilla Factory in Newark and then came home and got busy on some sewing I want to do.  I cut out 2 blouses and 1 apron, I did some fabric shopping last week in Berkeley...I will be sure to share when they are finished.

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy the rest of your week!

Simply Create Too #59 and Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday #159

Hello and happy Wednesday! Hope you are all having a wonderful week so far. I have one card to share and it is for 2 challenges, the first one is Simply Create Too #59 - No stamps or Digi images, I don't know about the rest of the design team but this was a difficult one for me until I saw this week's PTI Make It Monday #159, they saved the day! You will have 2 week's if you would like to play along with us at Simply Create Too, here is the link. PTI's Make It Monday was fun...No Sew Quilt Cards, the hardest part was picking out the patterned paper. If you look close you can see the embossing that the cover plate made. Thank you so much for stopping by...enjoy the rest of your week!
