Can you tell I like my Edgers # 3 Die? This is for the MIM Papertrey Inc Challenge. I am going to use this card for an anniversary card.  I used some glitter tissue  paper, Pear mini stamp and die, PTI card stock,and Edgers # 3 die . I made a card like this one ,without the tissue first. I will post it next. Have a good one!

Birthday Card

Just a quick post of this birthday card for one of my granddaughters who is turning two, today.

We watched three of our granddaughters on Sat and Sun as our daughter Natalie and her husband went out. 

I was at Disneyland all day yesterday with one daughter, Nancy and her family. 

TodayWe will go to Temecula to visit our daughter Nicole and her family for a birthday and grandsons hockey game. I feel very blessed  to be able to see all my daughters and grandchildren in a 4 day span . That does not usually happen. Our son will be home from college Friday. Life is good.

Checkered paper is : Best of K &co.

cuttle bug embossing lg. dots 

all the  rest is Papertrey Ink>

Make it Monday # 17 Cracked Glass Technique

 Hi , I know this is like my other card. I needed to make  a card for my nephew and his wife to  congratulate them on the good new that they are expecting . So I figured I would just crack a whale and the buttons so that I could enter something in the MIM challenge.  Have a great weekend.

Thank You Coach

Hello everyone, hope you all had a great weekend.
Thank You to all the service men and women, and their families who serve in the USA military! 
I was asked to make some thank you cards for the little league baseball team .  The main stamp I used is so old, its Dots sports border. What I love about this stamp, is I just color the sport I want to use. Like when its football I only color the football and helmet, basketball just the ball.  I thought the Anniversary thank you softened the bold Alpha blocks.  I love these Alpha Blocks I think they help finish a card fast without adding  a lot more.  The main team color was red with some brown. Everything is PTI with the exception of the sports  border.

Whale Wishes

Good morning ! I snuck in a few minutes of paper time , BEFORE chores and errands today. I wanted to get a card off to one of my six sisters, who is a little under the weather. I mostly just wanted to use some of my new things from PTI.
I used Edgers  Die #3 as my waves, and then Whale Wishes mini stamp set and Die. I have so many ideas just not the time.

Make It Monday #16: Sympathy Cards

Sympathy Card

  This is my card for the MIM Challenge, to make a sympathy card. I tried to keep it simple. I cant believe I did not have a sympathy stamp. Now I do though because I just received my May order with the new anniversary set and it has a sympathy sentiment stamp.  I stamped the outside of the card with what I usually put on the inside of the sympathy card. It is from http://www.stampsbyjudith.com/   The rest is all PTI .  Take  care and have a great weekend!

Papertrey May Blog Hop Challenge

May 2011 Blog Hop

Make It Monday # 14 Selective Inking

Make It Monday #14: Selective Inking

Hi , I hope everyone had a nice Mother’s Day. Well, for the MIM Selective Inking I used : Tea For Two Additions, but I only used the edge of the lined up teacups. That would be my selective Inking. Then I embossed with powder.
Also used Woman Of Life Stamps and just put the three together.

Tea Party Labels

  Hi.  A friend of mine is having a tea party, bridal shower this weekend . She asked if  I could make some kind of label to show what  flavor is in each pot. I know label is not the correct word to use ,but for the life of me I cant think of what I call them , oh well.  They are very simple , hope its what she is looking for. I think they will work.  Take care, and have a good weekend.

Anniversary Card

 I was in a hurry to make this card for my daughter and son in law.

 It needed to be simple, I kinda like how it turned out. 

They were married in Maui 9 yrs. ago.

They now have 3 beautiful girls. 

 I think they are quite the beautiful couple inside and out!

I love this Aloha Stamp. I bought it with them in mind.

Make It Monday Challenge # 9

Hi and Happy Friday! I wanted to make a card for a friend of the family .
 She just won high school senior ASB president! Yippee !! 
She worked very hard and had some stiff competition including her best friend.  
She had some leaves in her theme,( long story)that is why I randomly added a few leaves. The rest is because I just got my PTI order and had to use  my new stamps and dies. I thought I would emboss the congratulations so I could add one more card for MIM challenge.
 Have a good weekend and take care.

Make It Monday Challenge # 9

Make It Monday #9: Heat Embossing

Looks so different in bright light.

Hi this is my card for the Make It Monday Heat Embossing. I guess I don’t have that many backgrounds. Good thing I just ordered the Gingham Background. Well, I just put together a  few of the Birthday Basics to make the white background. I think the powder is a little to sparkly. The flower is on velum then I just used Polka Dot II and  there you have it. Take care and have a good day!

Make It Monday Challenge # 8

Make It Monday #8: Ink Blending Techniques

 Well, this is one of the cards I came up with for this weeks challenge. Not quite my style but its fun to try to learn new techniques. Maybe I should have blended it a little better.

Just wanted to share. My granddaughter was featured in a book calendar.     I AM  BEAUTIFUL 2011/CAL http://www.bandofangels.com/ Since it's a book we were not sure what month or page she would be onShe ended up on the week of her parents tenth anniversary, I thought that was kinda neat. Delaney is one of 5 soon to be one of 6, OH MY! I happen to think my daughter is supper-mom, my son in law is also supper dad and fireman.

 This is the page she is on.  Delaney has Downs. We say she has many ABILITIES, not disABILITIES. We are so Blessed  to have ten grandchildren.  Good thing we had our children very young.  Because we need a lot of energy..Off topic it's going to be 90 degrees  here today!

March 2011 Papertrey Ink Blog Hop and Challenge

 Hello, and  Happy Friday to everyone.  The challenge for the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop, is to use embroidery  thread any way we choose. So I choose to just use it as an outline of sorts. I just used  a glue pen and adhered it to the card. Everything I used was PTrey but the ribbon. I  stamped all the buttons with any PTI stamp I had. 

 Company most of the day so I had to hurry and get this posted. Take Care and have a great weekend

Make It Monday Challenge #7: Adding Color to Non-Neutral Cardstock

This is my take on the PTI Challenge for  Monday. Did the best I could with the blending, as my blender pen was dry.  I used all Papertrey Ink supplies , flower stamp and post card are :Aloha.
Take care and have a good day.

Clean & Simple Card

For this simple card I used PTI cardstock ,white and raspberry fizz. The die and sentiment are PTI  Love Lives Here . I also used the sm. scallop PTI die. Twine and some Basic ribbon.

Thinking of You ***Maryellen***

My younger sister passed away from cancer over a year ago. She would always buy kitchen towels and send them to whom ever  she thought about when she bought the towel. We found out at her funeral just how many people she bought towels for. LOTS. When I saw this stamp after she passed , it screamed her name.  Had to have it. Just wanted to share.  Take care.

Using Some Old Supplies

I made this over the weekend . I just wanted to take out some things I haven’t used in a while. This punch is from Martha Stewart .  I cut it off the paper then doubled it. Oh I did use my new button die I just got in the mail. I needed a little black in the middle , so I used my Papertrey Ink polka dot borders, for just a little black.

Make It Monday Challenge #6

Good morning! I needed a bright card for a friend of mine. I loved Tricia’s http://sunnywithachanceofcrafting.blogspot.com/ card so much , so maybe that is why I did squares, not sure. This is the little  stamp die that comes with the cuttlebug, the other dies are Papertrey Ink white card stock is also Papertrey Ink, grid squares are Stamping Up.

Take care and have a good day!

Color Challenge

This is a color challenge , so I thought I would give it a try. I felt a bit limited to what I could make as this is not my color choice. Not too crazy about how it turned out but Im going to enter it anyway. 

I cant wait for my Postmarks stamp set from Papertrey Ink to come in , so I used what I had . Papertrey Ink set....Aloha...because it had this cute postcard.
