PTI 6th Anniversary - Favourite project

It's time for PTI's 6th Anniversary celebrations. The first challenge is to create a new project that is inspired by one of the Design Team Favorites projects.
I love what Danielle did with the hexagons. Would love to try this with some other colours too. I used Lavender Moon CS and bitty dot paper for this card.

MIM #100 - Packaging cards with oversized embellishments

Time to try out another MIM. Hope to participate in more of these challenges this year.

The banner strip on my card hangs over the edges of the card and the flower is a bit bulky as it is popped up with dimensionals. I made the packaging using a large envelope which I cut down a bit and I embellished the envelope using the same elements I had used on the card. I got the idea for the envelope here.

CASE this sketch #11

Here is my take on this week's sketch. I used one of the stamps from PTI's Guidelines and the sentiment is from PTI's 2012 Birthday Tags.

WMS Blog Waltz - January 2013 - Love


Used the Candy Wagon as a 'florist' stall and stamped a garden of hearts.
The sentiment is compiled from different sets and says "All my love grown jes' fer you".
