"What I Love About You" Chipboard Album

Today is another Monday post for the amazing Pumpkin Spice Blog.

I created this mini album using all stuff from Shop Pumpkin Spice. Sometimes I like to gather "alike" things together, a paper pad, some alpha stickers, and some labels and gems and then I just go with it!

I wasn't even sure what type of mini album I wanted to make, but this sticker "What i LOVE about you" said it all. And it's the theme of the album.

I dedicated this album to my wonderful husband. I'll add pictures and journaling later.

Supplies:



Echo Park "Dots & Stripes" collection kit

Found here for $9.79

My Mind's Eye "Fine & Dandy" Tickled Pink or True Blue Chipboard Album

Found here for $5.59

Cosmo Cricket "Tiny Type" stickers

PTI Contest : Day 4

Today's challenge over at the Papertrey Ink blog is a color challenge. Each designer picked their favorite color combination. The challenge is to pick a color combination that you like and make a project off of that.

Here is the color combo I picked:



And here is a picture of my project:

I hope you like my bookmark. I used the new "Simply Jane" stamp set and die set. I just love love love this set. 

Card #2

My second card again.

My Card #1

Apparently I have to post each card separate or it won't link to the PTI blog.

PTI : Day 2 Contest

I am in love with everything Papertrey Ink. Their product is just amazing. I love their cardstock, their felt, their dies and love love love their stamps. It is the 5th Anniversary of PTI and in celebration Nicole Heady is throwing a ten day long contest event. Sooooo exciting.

My friend came over to craft today and we knew we wanted to enter today's challenge. Each of the PTI designers created a free download. The challenge was to print off the downloads on white cardstock and create something using PTI product. We had a blast. My desk was covered with everything PTI and it was a heavenly sight. We blasted through four cards (each making two) and ended our crafting session by placing a huge PTI order. Hehe. Don't tell our husbands!

These first two cards my friend made. Isn't she super talented!!

And these two cards I made.

Wish us luck! The grand prize today is all the designers favorite stamp sets. So great!

Keep Calm Card

I made this card for my brother-in-law for his birthday. Ahhh - the dreaded masculine card! I kept seeing the "Keep Calm and (fill in the blank)" posters on Pinterest and I was inspired. My BIL has the original "Keep Calm and Carry On" poster hanging in his home. So I thought "I can make that into a card".

You can see I made my own version of this phrase.

I used my Gypsy to line up the letters. I cut out the letters and used the negative for the card.

Easy peasy!

Then of course the inside phrase is a tribute to my BIL masculine nature! Haha!

I used the alphabet font from the Cricut Cartridge "Nate's ABCs". And of course the crown is from the Cricut Cartridge "Once Upon a Princess". The paper and stamps are from Papertrey Ink.
