You Bring Joy into My Life

Greeting everyone!  I’ve got another card for the Papertrey Ink Anniversary celebration.  Today we’re making birthday cards to wish PTI a happy 7th birthday.  I chose some fun images and then stamped my little heart out.  We’re also asked to take a photo of ourselves with our card…here I am in my favourite space ;)

Okay, I’m off to do a bit of homework and then watch the Canadian Women’s Curling championship :)  Hope your Sunday has been lovely too :)

Happy Birthday!

Good morning!  I’m sharing another birthday card I needed to make to replenish my birthday card stash.  I’m playing along with PTI’s Make it Monday challenge again :)  Betsy Veldman showed us how to make a shadow effect with dies.  It was a good excuse to use that gorgeous “Happy” die that came with the tilted panel dies :)  Thanks for visiting and for all your sweet comments :)

A Very Happy Birthday to You

Surprise! I’m back with the next challenge for the Papertrey Ink Anniversary celebration.  This time we are asked to make a 3 x 4 card.  I’m giving my new Ruby Red set some good inky love this week and here it is again!  I took my colour cues from the paper :)  Here’s the journaling card by itself before I slapped it on a card ;)  Are you playing along with any of the challenges?!  I’m going with the belief that you can’t win if you don’t play!  AND it’s been a great break from work and school ;)

I snuck a sweet little felt cup underneath a button and cool little Ooh-la-la banner I had in my scrap bucket :)  The main sentiment is from Verve’s Treasured Words.  Thanks so much for stopping by!  I’m off to class!  Have a great weekend!

Lucky 7 ~ PTI Challenge!

Yikes! Good evening!  I’ve only been home about 20 minutes from my night class!  I’m playing along with today’s PTI challenge…use 7 items and make a card within 17 minutes.  I had picked my items out before class and left them on my desk so I could whip this up in record time!

1)paper

2)embossing folder

3)stitching

4) scalloped die cut

5) happy birthday circle

6)paper doily

7) ribbon

I’m kind of an expert on “7.”  It’s my favourite number and the DH and I were married on 07-07-07!  Let’s hope it’s lucky for some of these challenges!  LOL  Thanks for stopping by! Sweet dreams!
