Hello!! If you've just arrived here you are in the middle of my Papertrey Ink crazy trio posts!! LOL The design team has come up with their favourite colour schemes and I couldn't help myself...supplies will not be posted, but most are PTI and Stampin' Up! I really wanted to use the Star Prints set for these colours...just something that got into my head...I need to use this set more :) Okay...one more to go :)
Hello!! I get so happy when I'm finally able to use a stamp for the first time. That's what happened with this lovely sentiment from Verve :) The fact that it was also offset just right so I could fit the Blooming Button Bit flower also made me happy :) 
I paper pierced around the blossom and leaves inspired by this post over at Betsy Veldman's blog. The card was just a little too flat for me so enter a nice piece of cream ribbon :) Oh, I forgot to say that this is for Karen's Sweet Sunday Sketch!! LOL I love the large, simple panels and LOVE Karen's sample :) Hope your week is going well. We are gearing up for Valentine's Day and the start of the Olympics!! Then next week is 100 day!! All this will take me into report card writing :) And then it's SPRING!! Have a wonderful day :)

Good morning, everyone!! Today's card is for the Card Positioning Systems (CPS) sketch. They have teamed up with Papertrey Ink, helping them celebrate their upcoming third anniversary. I so wanted to use some more of my Cosmo Cricket Early Bird dp. It's quite the busy paper, so the main panel needed to be fairly plain. Just a little row of bling and a felt flower in honour of PTI coming out with lovely 100% wool felt. Are you following the new releases? They are just amazing!! Now if they would only announce a Canadian shipping warehouse where there would be free shipping and no duty I would be in heaven!! And even one for the UK and my blog buddy, Aimes :) Well, that's all for today, and even though it's Monday, I hope your day is fabulous!!

Still with me? LOL This card is for all my blog friends...thanks so much for hanging in there with me as I post too many cards at once...what one will do for the slim chance of being the one in 1700 that will win some PTI!! LOL Dawn's colours are up for my last card entry. I'm using the lovely butterfly die from SU...this must only mean one thing...spring is near :) Supplies for this card are either PTI or SU...please email me if there are any questions. Have a wonderful evening :)

Good evening, everyone...please excuse the multiple posts tonight...but it's the PTI third anniversary celebration and as much as I didn't want to get too wrapped up in all the hoopla, I am semi-hooked. This is the first of the three posts tonight and I think it's my favourite :) Inspired by Nicole's colour palette...please note the Holiday Cheer dp :) I brought it out and think it's perfect...Christmas or not!! LOL I won't be posting detailed supplies so if there are any questions, feel free to email me :) Most of the supplies will be Papertrey Ink and/or Stampin' Up. Onto post 2....

Good evening!! I have to sneak this post in tonight as it's for PTI's palette challenge and it's due by Tuesday (that full-time thing I go to M-F is getting in the way!). To celebrate their new paint product coming this Spring, Nicole has a fun "paint" by number challenge...although if your username comes between H-M like mine (Irishlatte or Moe), you may not think it's too fun....that's what I thought at first. It's the most difficult of all the palettes IMHO :) But once I saw Dawn's sample I was inspired to use ribbon and the apron lace punch. I also ran the pumpkin panel through the cuttlebug with swiss dots. Two terracotta buttons completed the card. I'm actually quite pleased the way it came out and how the colours worked together despite my little "heart attack" when I first saw them. I didn't even have to resort to changing my Username :) Yay!! Good night!! Sweet dreams :)

Good morning!! Today's card is dedicated to all my blog friends!! I'm so glad you come to visit my little piece of the blog world and just want to say thanks!! I'm using the sketch from Mojo Monday. It's contest week so Julee has some Verve up for grabs :) But this week I participated not so much for the prizes (although they are wonderful) but more for the challenge. Lots of shapes on this one. The ribbon on my card is shown as a square on the sketch. I wanted to try something different there and this wide Stampin' Up ribbon was the perfect size. Two little buttons make it look like they have fastened the ribbon in place. The kraft cardbase is embossed with swiss dots although you can't see them at all. I need to learn how to make my camera show them better...I think it's a lighting issue...any solutions or thoughts anyone has would be most welcome. Oh, and I got to use one of my favourite Verve sets again, Kindred Spirits...love that fleur de lis :) I hope you all have a lovely Sunday...I'm so glad you dropped by :)
