Papertrey Paper Dolls Challenge #8

Hello again!  I'm back today with another Paper Dolls challenge!  This one was issued by Lee Anne and our challenge was to make a card using this color palette:

What fun colors!!  Here is the card I came up with:

It's hard to see but on the bottom chocolate panel I used my woodgrain impression plate.  I also used the canvas impression plate on the label.  I LOVE adding texture like this to my cards!

That fun border punch is one I picked up on my Stamping Away weekend with the girls!  It's by Martha Stewart.  Isn't it cute?

Would you like to play along?  We'd LOVE to have you join us! You can find out more information about this challenge here!

Thanks for taking time to stop by today!  Have a nice day!!

Papertrey Paper Dolls Challenge #7

Hi!!  I finally got around to doing Laurie's Paper Dolls Challenge!  She challenged us to make our own background paper and to keep the card Clean & Simple (CAS).  I am not sure if this card can be classified as CAS or not, but at least I got one of the criteria right!

I used PTI's "Green Thumb" set to make the strawberries...love those stamps!! I remember as a little girl going to my grandparent's house and picking ripe strawberries off the vine!  It was such a treat!

You still have time to join us with this challenge!!  You can go here and see all the details and to share a link of your own card!

Supplies (all PTI unless noted)
Stamps: Green Thumb, Turning a New Leaf
Paper: Simply Chartreuse, Raspberry Fizz, Rustic White

Beautiful Wishes

Hello all!! We are back from our vacation and we had a GREAT time!! 

Today is my wedding anniversary!  We are celebrating 13 years today! Wow!! Time has sure flown by!  I've seen tons and tons of wedding photos showing up in blogland lately, so I thought I'd share one of mine too.  Boy, we look so young (and skinny)!!

Happy Anniversary honey!  I love you!

Ok, onto much less sappy stuff!!  This is a card I made a few weeks ago, but since I haven't made anything all week, I thought I'd share it today. 

I love this patterned paper!  It is so bright and cheerful!  I used the linen impression plate on the red cardstock and I just love the texture it adds so much!!  I'm sure this will be one that I will reach for over and over again!

Thanks for stopping by today!  Have a great week!

Papertrey Paper Dolls Challenge #6

Welcome to another Papertrey Paper Dolls Challenge post!!  Deena challenged us to make a card based on a sketch she posted which you can see below.  This is the card that I made based on that sketch.

I use a new punch that I LOVE to create the ruffles.  I really, really like those big scallops!  Below is the sketch that my card is based off of which is also from the "Go to Sketches" magazine by Papercrafts.

Instead of a gift card insert I made a whole card front and so that changed things up just a bit.  Aren't all these bright colors together so cheery!?  I love that nice summery feel!

Thanks for stopping by!  This challenge is open to everyone and we'd LOVE to have you come and play along!  You can see the details of the challenge and how to play on this post.

Don't forget!  If you haven't voted yet in the Inlinkz contest, my card is #98.  I'd LOVE to have your support!  Thanks for those of you who have already voted!!
