Papertrey Ink MIM #166- Take Two!

One more for Papertrey Ink MIM #166 - and it's a teeny, tiny 3 1/2" x 5" card. Yup, just under the wire! So many ideas, so little crafting and photo time!! 

Many thanks to Dawn for an oh-so-inspiring technique! Just take a look at all of the amazing projects that other talented stampers have created here!!

CAS(E) this Sketch #78

Happy, happy Thursday! Just putting a flower-y spin on Julie Day's fabulous sketch (nothing unusual about that!). The CAS(E) this Sketch DT has created some really lovely, and varied, versions of this sketch. All so very pretty!

Papertrey Ink MIM #166: Debossing Stamped Images

Although I'm not usually a technique-y kind of girl, I was intrigued by Dawn's beautiful one-layer card using debossed/stamped images! SO, so pretty! Anyway..... here is my first attempt at Papertrey Ink's MIM #166! There is a bit of a learning curve, depending on your chosen stamp and die. Every time I'd get the stamping sorta right (still not perfect), I'd mess up on the debossing! There are a few more in the works, so I'll be back asap!

May 2014 PTI Blog Hop!

Oh.... how I LOVE this aqua/melon color combination! Additional inspiration came from this PapertreyMarch 2014 Sketch recipe.

Hoping to have a few more creations before the day's end. Happy Sunday and happy, happy PTI May Blog hopping!

CAS(E) this Sketch #77!

It's time for CTS #77...... a bubble-icious sketch by Gayatri! Kept this one pretty simple and pulled out lots and lots of circle stamps and all of my coral/aqua stamp pads! 

Please join in the fun at CAS(E) this Sketch #77 and see all of the beautiful creations!

CAS(E) this Sketch #76

Hey there! Here's a cute little sketch, #76, from Sam Simpson! How is this for BRIGHT?? I found a pretty pack of  Bazzill papers just full of lovely spring colors and a little color explosion kinda happened! Love the petite floral dies from Paper Smooches and needed to use those too!

Can't wait to see what you've created for CAS(E) this Sketch #76!!

CAS(E) this Sketch #75

Its time for CTS #75! So wonderfully CAS, so perfectly N@Ali AND so amazingly versatile! Love the little heart element (of course, I substituted a flower... what else??).
I am attempting to use some of my much-loved patterned paper, but I have discovered that I am really terrible at mixing and matching-even though the papers come already coordinated. Duh. I could, and do, play with the patterns for HOURS 'til I get it right. Perhaps I should just stick with stamps, ink and paper... so much more efficient!!
Please join in at CTS #75! Can't wait to see what you've created!

P.S.- Whoo hoo.... look at what just arrived! Guess I know what I'll be doing for the next few days (even though I should be getting ready for our son's college grad party!). Happy Mother's Day to me!
