Thank you ALL soooooo much for the thoughts & prayers for Alexa. We got her tests back and things look great. I am still on the rollercoaster of emotions. Its hard to really explain and put into words. Yes its a happy time, but there is so much more to it. I know I am certainly looking forward to the weekend of retail therapy at CKC! But especially meeting up with some PSF’s!

My PSF Laura Sneden sent a gorgeous planter of Violets! THANK YOU!!!! Lord please help me to NOT kill them. They are the PRETTIEST purple ever.

Then there is another Laura who sent her a stunning bouquet! Laura-you didn’t include your last name! Please email me. I have so many PSF’s named Laura. I want to properly thank you. It was so sweet of you to do.

Photos will be posted this week/weekend, along with the pkg of goodies I got the other day with some cards too.

OK now today I want to share my PTI projects with you all!!! I hope you all enjoyed the release, and be sure to check out the Design Team gallery and their blogs.

Please let me know which project you liked most. I always enjoy reading the different responses and why they are such. Everyone is so different.

*NOTE ALL PROJECTS USE STAMPS FROM PAPERTREY INK!

Loving Lavender Moon! Oh and the PAPER!! WOW!

OK here we go!

Holiday Greetings

Stamps-Mailbox Greetings
Cardstock-PTI select white
Patterned Paper by Chatterbox
Acetate
Ink-Pallette black, Copic Markers, bashful blue, white StazOn
CM Wavy cutter, glitter, ribbon by Martha Stewart

mailbox-greetings.jpg

This is a super cute 3D style card. The acetate layer folds up under the top flap. Snowflakes are stamped on the acetate layer so they appear to be falling from the sky. I cut the mailboxes in the middle out, and put “mail” in them! I made the wavy snow-hill with my CM wavy cutter. I think this is definitely a unique holiday card, if you are one who starts in July, or has some special people on that holiday/winter card list!

I wanted to create a “sweet” gift set. I made my bees in 3 layers!
We have the bottom layer, just the body. Middle layer-bee stamped on vellum  cardstock with white stazon-then cut out for the wings-then the bee body again. Candice’s set makes the perfect bee easy!

jar-of-sweets.jpg
So I got this jar at Michaels, and filled it with Rocher chocolates! I liked the jar because it seemed like an old honey jar. I found that my Punch Bunch punches made flowers similar to that of the 12 X 12 Big Blossoms paper! So it was super easy to create a 3D look. I also stamped the little bee on random places of the honey Jar.

sweet-as-honey-hive.jpg
For my hive-I stamped the honey combs onto my cardstock. Cut strips, then used a corner rounder. Dimensionals give it the ultimate dimension. When I saw Taylor’s sneak peek post I about died at how similar our creations were!

bun-in-the-oven-side.jpg IN the oven

I took the sentiment “Bun in the oven” literally with this creation. I designed this little box, to look and open like an oven! The burner’s were done using the circle image from Father Knows Best!

bun-out-of-oven.jpg OUT of the oven

I  covered the square tin and rolled up a pair of pink, and brown socks, to look like a cinnamon bun. It fits perfectly in there, and in my oven box.

I hand cut the little oven mit card to go with the package!

I used the scallop circle nestabilties to create a pretty circle box, to hold my little circle tin, which has a cooked cinnamon bun inside it. I designed the top of the tin to look like a cinnamon bun using Garden of Life, and some white glitter, for the frosting.

Hippity Hop Hat

Stamps-Bitty Baby Blessings, Pond Life
Ink-Pallette ink in black and Lavender Sachet
fabric, scissors, Ribbon stiff, fusible webbing, iron

amber-in-hat.jpg

When I found this bucket hat at Target I was just giddy! I knew I could make it go from a plain old hat, to one my daughter would LOVE!! The best part-no sewing required!!

I asked Amber to pick an image she wanted on the hat, and she chose the bunny. We then organized some scraps from my pile from when I use to sew!

Here is a closer view

fabric-pieced-bunny-hop.jpg

All I needed was some black pallette ink, and a little Ribbon Stiff, and I had this cute fabric pieced bunny for her hat! The nose is liquid pearls. The sentiment uses a Lavender Sachet Pallette ink.

If you can cut, piece and iron you are on your way!

double-the-love-pea-pods.jpg

THIS is my favorite project of the month. I have no idea why-it just is.

When I saw the little head image from Bitty Baby Blessings I KNEW I had to attempt to pair it with Green Thumb’s pea pod image! Well, as you can see it worked! Its this not the cutest little baby in a pea pod you have ever seen? I loved making this.

I took my punch bunch punches and re-created the same flowers as in the patterned paper!

Circus Fun invitation

Stamps-Bitty Baby Blessings
Cardstock-PRI select white, Summer Sunset, Spring Moss

I was definitely thinking Circus Fun themed birthday when I saw this image, and the patterned paper! I paper pieced the elephant, which is so fun & easy to do. punched out the 2 circles from the Big Spots, and added a page pebble to create a “ball” look to it. The elephant is suppose to be in the circus ring-get it?!

Well that is plenty of eye candy for today!

I am hoping to pull it together and get my Friday Blogger’s Challenge done, and a sketch completed for you.

Once again thank you for reading.

Till tomorrow.
