Just for You

Hope everyone is ready for the weekend........I know I am!

These MFT dies were just staring me in the face so I broke them out and made this card.

I also used the Library Ledger paper from PTI.  Ummm.....can you say yum?  I am in LOVE with this paper collection.  The colors and patterns are just fabulous.

I found these embossing strips from Cuttlebug and I'm sure they are nothing new but I fell in love with them and thought they could add just the right touch to cards sometimes.  I used one of them on the side of the sentiment here.  I also used the sketch from Get Sketchy for this one.

Thanks for stopping by!

Tuesday Sketch Challenge #74 by Mercy

I thought this sketch challenge was a fun one so I thought I'd give it a try although I didn't follow it exactly!  Let me know what you think!! 

I had this stamp set out making my son's teacher "end of year" gift and just had to ink it up again!

My friend, Jen Carter, and I recently were on the "hunt" for the CHA exclusive stamp set from last summer.  Well thanks to Jen, I am now the proud owner of this set.....Floral Fusion!!  I know this will be one of those sets that I go to again and again!!  Thanks Jen!

I am LOVING this color combination.......Pure Poppy, Summer Sunrise, Kraft, and Spring Moss!!!

I recently received my new scallop die from PTI (my first one was defective) and I find myself grabbing for it over and over!! 

This card uses the "rock 'n roll" technique.....which for this flower image works great! 

I with held adding any "bling" to the center of the flowers as I wanted the flower colors to shine!!

Can you tell that I over stamped Background Basics:  Text Style there in tea dye inks? 

My tea dye duo is dying...literally!!!

I will have to place another in my cart the next time I order!!

Here is the sketch I based this card off of..........

Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving such nice comments!!

Have a wonderful weekend!!!

PTI--have you checked them out yet?

OMG, I love these stamps......Papertrey Ink. Right now, they are beginning their countdown for their 2nd Anniversary party!! Official release happens on the 15th. Check them out!! Here is a valentine card I made last week using Heart Prints and Raspberry Fizz Mix papers. I also invested in the matching inks from PTI too!! I wish now that I would have purchased the coordinating punches as well but it's not too hard to cut those hearts out. The brown heart (which is THE stamp that sold me on this set) is raised with a pop-dot. On this card, I also used PTI's Fresh Snow palette ink and the Fiskars scalloped punch. Do you see that I inked the small rectangle of raspberry fizz cardstock with the fresh snow ink? I think that little white border added just a touch of depth it needed!! Oh, I forgot I also used one of Heather's sketches for this one too.



Well, my kids are now enjoying the last week at home before we leave for our much anticipated DisneyWorld vacation!! Every day they have looked forward to taking turns "flipping" the calendar over. Check out my cute Disney countdown calendar in a previous post here!! I can not say how much I love that BIA!!
