Favourite Quotes Box

Made this little box for the PTI Blog Hop. Unfortunately had no internet connection last night so I didn't get to participate. I love quotes and want to make cards with all my favourite quotes. My idea is to make ATC sized cards so this box is 3"x4".

Raspberry Suite Challenge #12

Got Lauren's new 'Pretty Petal Pocket' template from PTI and couldn't wait to try it out. So I used the colour challenge for some inspiration and had some fun. Made the small version of the template.

Crimped Envelope Pocket Card CPCM-NTYW14

I recently joined the forum at CPCM and this is the first challenge I participated in. The tutorial for the altered envelopes can be found here. This was really easy to do and I will be making a lot more of these.

Baby gift

Made this ensemble for my sister who is in hospital as I type this post. She has been induced this morning and we are awaiting the arrival of little Matthew. I used the Men of Life stamp set and the wonderful inspiration from Nicole Heady. In this post she gives instructions and a download for the baby album. In this post you can find the instructions for the card and little boat gift tag.

PTI Princesses Challenge #5

I have been neglecting my blog lately and missed challenge #4 completely. For challenge #5 we had to:

1.make something using a colour we seldom use,

2.use inking

3. then give our project to someone.

I so seldom use purples/lilacs so that was my starting point. It will be my SIL's birthday on Monday so I used Lauren's 'Ready, set wrap' template to make the gift box. I then made a little gift card envelope for the gift card. I will place the gift card together with some chocolates in the gift box.

I used Lavender Moon and Plum Pudding CS, inks and Bitty Dot Basics.

PTI June Blog Hop

Found this picture on the Martha Stewart site. Loved these colours. Used the new Pack a Picnic template for this project. This is the mini version of the template.

Pack a Picnic

Wow, this new template of Lauren's is stunning. What a clever lady she is. Made the cards quite a while ago and now I was able to co-ordinate the packaging of the gift.
