Papertrey Ink Anniversary - Day 3 Contest

Happy Friday!!!! Today's contest at PTI is a timed challenge, you have 7 minutes to grab 7 different card ingredients and make your card in 17 minutes.  I have a few cards to share with you tonight and I was so surprised at how difficult it was to limit my supplies to only 7 items!  No wonder I always have a huge mess on my craft table!  Anyway, I have to say it was a fun challenge and to watch the timer tick off the seconds and minutes on my phone, I finally had to turn my phone over so I could not see, that was really cutting into my card making time.

I did not record the time it took to make all of my cards...but I will say the more I made the quicker I got. I was taking close to the full 17 minutes on my first two cards and needed to speed things up just a bit to get in a few more cards. Have a wonderful weekend and thank you so much for stopping by!

September Papertrey Ink Blog Hop

It's the 25th of the month and that means it is time for the PTI Blog Hop...I almost forgot about it this month so this was a quick little birthday card for a sweet friend.  This month's theme is wreath's, I did not have a wreath stamp so I am using this delightful "wreath" from Think Big Favorites #19 and embellished it with a few roses and there you have it!  Thank you so much for taking time to stop by to peek at my card...there is still plenty of time to play along and so many wonderful cards to see over at Capture the Moment if you need a little inspiration.

Fusion Card Challenge - Hypothesis #1

Not sure if you have heard or seen this new challenge from the amazing Jackie Rockwell and Lesley Croghan, you can find all of the information right here...well it is amazing and by the number of cards that have been submitted so far it looks as if everyone knows about it! I finally found the time to play along and I have to admit it was a pretty quick and fun card to make. Actually it is kind of a sneak peek into our Four of a Kind post scheduled for the 16th...I just fell in love with the patterned paper and since so much of it was sprawled across my craft table, I just could not resist using it. Thank you so much for taking the time to take a peek at my card...have a wonderful day!
