Happy Birthday ~ Make it Monday

Hey friends!  It was supposed to be a day in the garden, but the rain has kept me inside and by inside I mean in the studio!  I love Plan B!  Today's card is for the PTI Make it Monday challenge...use a word die and hint of colour.  I don't have many line only images but I remembered that I have some black and white patterned paper!  It was perfect for this challenge.  Thanks for stopping by!

Just Because ~ PTI's Transformation Tuesday

Greetings, friends!  This is my take on PTI's Transformation Tuesday challenge.  One of my favourite things to do is make the same card, but change the colours.  The card below is the one I made for the PTI blog hop yesterday.  Today's card is almost the same, but a little cheerier with the yellow background.


what's in it?
stamps: Movers and Shakers Sentiments, Rosie Posie, Rosie Posie Step 2 (PTI)
paper: rustic cream, chicken scratch gingham (PTI)
ink: pale peony, sweet blush, hibiscus burst (PTI)
dies: Rosie Posie (PTI)

Thanks for visiting!  I hope your week is going well :)

Awesome, Wonderful ~ PTI Blog Hop

Hello friends!  I'm back with my take on this month's PTI Blog Hop.  I was inspired by the colours and darling flowers on the teacups.  This card is sitting on our secretary's desk at work, waiting to tell her what an awesome, wonderful, amazing, brilliant, extraordinary, and fantastic person she is!  Thanks for visiting!  I can't wait to see what y'all created!

Happy New Baby

Hey everyone!  I'm back today with two cards for PTI's Transformation Tuesday.  I was in desperate need of some baby cards so I took the opportunity to make a baby boy card AND a baby girl one.  Same layout, same sentiment from Papertrey Ink's Keep it Simple: Baby, different papers...DONE!

 

 Here they are together below :)  Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great start to the weekend!




 

Grateful for You ~ The Card Concept
