December PTI Blog Hop

I am sad to see Christmas over. I am torn between putting all my Christmas stuff away and keeping out for a few more weeks. I need to get back to scrapbooking soon. I am so far behind. This was a fun project to make. I was inspired by Melissa P and Betsy V and their posts on Emma's Papery.

Moxie's Tuesday Trigger

Here is the inspiration for this week's Tuesday Trigger. I flipped over this picture. It screams..."insert me." I could live in that world no prob. So the challenge was so much fun for me. In my card you can see the three main colors. Another contestant mentioned that it was Damask for sure, I couldnt agree more. I made several trials before I decided on this as my background paper. I also fussed with the bow forever. I chose the satin ribbon because it reminds me of the slick side of the cube.

Just Add Ink 39

This week's challenge over at Just Add Ink could not have come at a better time for me. I have several people in my life suffering from depression. Its great to know my love (paper crafts) can help others in this way. Check out their post for more information and ways to help.

Listing supplies is a pain, but the cute stuff is this:

Stamps: Hero Arts
Paper: Terracotta Tile and dark chocolate, PTI
Ribbon: Terracota Tile, PTI and jute twine, PTI
Buttons: rustic, PTI (remember these....BRING THEM BACK)

I would like to give the credit for this inspiration to Lee Anne, my buddy and fellow PTI nut. She is the one that held my hand as I bought my first sewing machine. She is the one who walked me through threading the bobbin for the first time. (I locked up the machine 5 times before I got it right.) She keeps me on my toes with her blog and wonderful creations. She is the BEST PTI shopper and she shares.....what more could a person want! Thanks LA!!!!

Thanks for stopping by! Love the new format of the Hop!

PTI Emboss Resist Challenge

Happy Anniversary PTI! Looks like it will be an amazing year ahead. I LOVE the videos!!! Here is my card for the challenge. I used all PTI cardstock, ribbon and ink. The only thing NOT PTI is versamark watermark ink for embossing and clear ZING embossing powder. This technique was super difficult for me. I am not sure what I did wrong, but this is the only one close to being cute. Thanks for looking!
