My crafty day.....

Good morning...popping in today with 3 cards from my crafty day yesterday. The first one up is for the current challenge over at Papertrey Ink - Make It Monday #339. Not my best work but it's a birthday card to add to my stash. I used the grid pattern stamp for my frame and added balloons from Birthday Style.

Next card is for this week's challenge over at Color Throwdown #514, just fell in love with the beautiful fall colors! I used PTI's Leaf Print dies and the sentiment is from Mum's the Word.

Final card is for the current challenge at Addicted To Stamps #313. I was looking for something and came across this sweet Minnie Mouse decked out for a little Trick or Treating, thought she would look wonderful on the front of a Halloween card. 

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

Wanted to share a few photo from this past weekend. Ashleigh and I went to San Bernadino for the CalJam Festive with the Foo Fighters, Iggy Pop and so many others. It was an amazing as it was last year, but this year we were so much more prepared. We had a blast!

Looking forward to CalJam 2019!

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!

Crafty Day

Hello...Happy Wednesday! I have 2 cards to share today. My first card is for the current challenge over at Time Out #116 - Bright. I pulled out Mum's the Word from Papertrey Ink, just love playing with these sweet flowers, they really look amazing no matter what colors you use. 

My second card I made while visiting Joyce from Cards by the Sea earlier this month and I used a stamp set from MFT that Jacquie from What I did today? brought to play with, Love this sweet rainbow of shakers! The card is for the current Wednesday challenge over at SSS. 

CAS(E) this Sketch #267

Hello...popping in with one more card today, this one is for CAS(E) the Sketch #267. Another card that I made while spending the week with Tracey and Joyce! Joyce and I brought stamps that no one else had to use while we were there. This one is Gran's Garden from PTI that Joyce brought, one of my all time favorite flowers. The sentiment is form PTI too, Mum's the Word, this one is from Tracey's amazing stamp collection. 

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

Stamp-A-Faire and so much more!

              

What a fabulous 2 days, so much to do and even more, so much fun.  There were times when I was laughing so hard that I had tears in my eyes. So fun to spend time relaxing and crafting with friends.  I have a few photos to share of our day and several cards to share too that need to be added to a few of yesterday's PTI challenges.  It was so much fun to meet Marybeth from Marybeth's Time for Paper and see Cathy again from Empty Nest Crafter so sweet and so funny! We all wished that Tracey from In My Creative Opinion would have been there with us so we all decided to CASe her first card of the day, it was so much fun and then after we worked the bugs out of Face Time we all got to chat for a bit in the afternoon. Such a treat.
Joyce is the sweetest hostess and made sure we all had everything we needed for a fun day and if you ever get the chance to see her incredible room, you will be amazed. She is about as organized as they come and has just about everything craft supply there is which makes it very easy to make any type of card you want.
I have 3 cards and several photo's to share so without any further chatting here they are.  Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by to peek at my cards....have a fabulous week.

Friday afternoon we thought it would be fun to make a few cards, but we only made one each.  We both used the new PTI Mum's the Word, it is a beautiful set.

 We also went for a walk to the beach, the weather was so beautiful.  Can you imagine living so close to the beach you can just walk to it? So fun!

Gallon, Quart and Pint Challenge

Marybeth was sweet enough to bring some of her new stamps, so we all were able to play with the new PTI coffee set, so much fun. Since I do not color, I used the stacked coffee cups as a background stamp and love the way it turned out.

We really spent more time chatting than crafting and for some reason we still had quite the mess.  This photo is the one I am using for the PTI Stamp-A-Faire Closing Ceremony, what better way to end a fabulous day than with a big mess.

 This card is one I made before my trip for today's PTI Blog Hop. My plan was to get more than one card made but needless to say that did not happen and I was just happy to have one to enter. I don't use browns much when stamping but I have to say I was pretty happy with the way my card turned out. So back to the real world again and looking forward to another summer Stamp-A-Faire event.
