PTI Blog Hop - May 2012

I don't have a brighter green CS in my stash so I went with Spring Moss instead. I used stamps from PTI's Damask Designs and the checked BG stamp is from Waltzingmouse Stamps. The dies I used are Take Three and Pinking shears border die. The technique I used was "Decreasing Apertures" - MIM #26. My inspiration came from this card.

For my friend & CFC #53

One of the best things about blogging is meeting wonderful people that you are able to consider friends. One of the first blogging friends I made was Alexandra. What a sincere, warm and encouraging friend to have. Thank you Alexandra for making my world a better place.

Alexandra is celebrating her blog's 4th anniversary and to celebrate she is giving away some blog candy. Read about it here.

Here are some of Alexandra's beautiful sketches. I chose to work with sketch #10.

The CAS-ual Friday challenge for this week is to use punches or dies. I used PTI's Tea for Two die and the little flower is from one of my Fiskars corner punches.

I used the sketch from this week's FTL challenge to create my card for the CAS-ual Fridays challenge.

MIM #63 and CFC #50

This week's CAS-ual Friday challenge is to make a Clean And Simple creation with flowers or trees.

The MIM challenge is to add glitter to your die cuts. I combined the two challenges to make this birthday card.

CFC #49

For this week's challenge we had to create a CAS card using the sketch.
I used Hero Arts stamps (Monster Fun) for this week's challenge. I used my cricut to cut the speech bubble.

PTI Blog Hop - February 2012

This month's theme is interactive cards. I made a "spinner" card using the little bus image from the Truckin' It stamp set. I used the word window punch to make my track.

WMS Blog Party - February 2012

My mojo has gone walkabout. Haven't played along in a WMS blog hop in ages. I really need to get some more image stamp sets. So with my limited WMS stock and some inspiration from a previous sketch challenge I managed to come up with my card. I used the colours and flower to tie in with the Spring theme. We are in the middle of a heatwave and I am so looking forward to the cooler Autumn weather.
