PTI Desk Top Organizer template

A couple of months ago, I decided to break down and purchase the PTI Desk Top Organizer Timeless Template(I think of it as a stationery set). I really like the idea of using these; however, my printer doesn't take PTI cardstock very well so I've had to adapt and make an original and trace. Anyway, these turn out sooo cute!! This particular set was made for a friend of mine who graciously lent me her Twilight series books to read (which BTW were awesome). I wanted to thank her for letting me read them. Here I used the PTI stamp set called Friends til the End. I love the look of the flower stamped "off" the paper some and paired with Mega Mixed Messages to the side. Something else I love is that Fresh Snow ink on Pure Poppy cardstock!! It just shows up so nicely. I think I made 4 different note cards and added envelopes. Here is a pic of how I packaged this gift.

Stamps: Friends til the End (PTI), Mega Mixed Messaged (PTI), Simply Stationery (PTI)

Paper: Cardstock (PTI)

Ink: Pure Poppy (PTI), Noir Palette, Fresh Snow (PTI)

Other: Misc. Button, Border punch (EK Success), Pop dots, Glue dots

Wii Bowling anyone?? (and a card)

We were invited last Saturday to some friends "house warming" party aka Wii bowling party. It was a blast!! We had some "adult" drinks, a real "photo booth", and a Wii bowling tourney!! Let's just say I haven't had that much fun in quite some time. I even won hi score at 234!! (the host actually had the hi score but he gave me the trophy). Please disregard the "mojito" I have in my hand!! I did not over do it!!



Since this couple had just bought their first home, I made them this card. It was so much fun to make because it uses the new Guidelines 2 set from PTI. OMG, this set is awesome!! You will certainly see me using this set a lot. It also uses the new Mega Mixed Messages set that was just released as well. All paper, stamps, and ink are PTI. I have been hoarding those "gems" for some time now ever since I won some blog candy a while back so I decided to add some to this card in the centers of the flowers or whatever you call them. I hate the ribbon I used because it is so absolutely stiff to work with (from Michaels) but it worked and I want to use it up.


Here is a pic of my hubby and me in the fabulous "photo booth". Check out http://saycheezphotobooth.com/ for info about this awesome fun experience. They are friends of ours and everyone just had a blast taking pics with and without props!! Oh, here is one with props too!! edited to add.....wish I was computer savvy, I would delete the last picture of us and our friend. My husband always does something in the pictures.
