PTI Blog Hop - October 2012


This month's challenge for the PTI blog hop is to create a card or tag using non-traditional colours. I chose to work with the above colour combo.
The Mat Stack frame has been stamped in Scarlet Jewel and the button is from my SJ button collection. The 'Christmas Cheer' tag has been stamped in Dark Chocolate. SAM_0444

WMS Blog Party - October 2012

SAM_0423
I chose to make a birthday card using the colours black, purple and orange as we do not celebrate
Halloween.
I only have WMS frames and sentiments stamps...no images yet.
The sentiment, from Fancy Phrases, was embossed in white. I used the polka dot background from Off Beat Backgrounds on the orange frame and I stamped the dotted circle frame from Vintage Circles on the inside of the die cut round window.

Saw a tutorial for this "sun ray" technique and had to try it out. I really enjoyed going through my stash and mixing and matching papers.

World Card Making Day - 2012

SAM_0409
It is really great to have a special day to celebrate our wonderful hobby. To celebrate this day, there is a tour around blogland with so many inspirational card makers. The links to the blogs can be found here.
I would like to thank each and every papercrafter for sharing your wonderful ideas. You all provide so much inspiration and that's what keeps me going even when the mojo is missing.
This card is a Thank You to all of you, you really do make me smile.
