... little girl card ...

Hello blog friends!
I actually made this card some time ago and hadn't uploaded it to my computer. I'm not sure where the image is from (my bestie, Amber gave it to me). It took me forever to color her - I am usually a speedy colorer, and don't worry too much about details, or messing up. But not this time!
Anyhoo - the card size is bigger than normal so you'd be able to see the background paper. I first adhered the ribbon w/ scor tape, then stitched over top to hold it all down.
Have a fabulous day! ;-)

... hey buddy ...

Well, *here* is a color I haven't used in forever! Taken With Teal. Really - it's just not one of my faves, but I had colored this little plane and was looking for paper to match, and TWT did the trick! Cute, huh?
I'm sending this little card to my nephew in MD. We are supposed to be "pen pals" but so far I haven't gotten a thing from him! I'll give him some slack, he is only 7.

I used the new PTI argyle & plane sets. I was out of black twill which is what I wanted to use, so I colored white twill w/ my gray copic and voila - it did the trick!

Celebrate, celebrate, dance to the music. . . whooo - I love when I'm in a snazzy happy mood! Must be my new happy pills! lol
So - this adorable card was gonna be for a guy, but then I thought it seemed a bit too neutral, so decided to just keep it in my stash as a just in case kinda card....

Supplies: pti cardstock & sentiment, velvet ric rak (can't remember where I found it), versamark & white embossing powder.
That's all for today - hope you all have a great weekend!!

... you're a peach ...

Look who's back ALREADY! ;-) So... when I saw this set, it was an instant MUST HAVE, it's the cutest most adorable set - ever! Tons of possibilities.... Seems like I am all about PTI lately, huh? It's true. Not much to explain - stamped and colored w/ tombows. All stuff is from PTI except the ribbon - which I think I got at Michaels a while ago....

Have a super fabulous day! *mwah*

... daffodils ...

Hello there! I know, I know - I take way too long between posts! I'm just happy I ever get on here.!
So... when PTI started their Year of Flowers sets, I was like - ahhh, I don't need to get them. But then, the second month came around and I saw this incredible daffodil and said - I MUST have it. I think I made about 10 cards with it --- all paper piecing! Loads of fun and super duper easy!
These two cards don't have sentiments, but most of the others I made I put Happy Easter on.
Supplies: PTI cardstock & patterned paper, paisley embossing folder, linen thread from SU! - martha stewart & fiskars border punches.
