Papertrey Ink: Make It Monday #128

Now it’s time for Papertrey Ink’s Make It Monday! (And also the CAS-ual Fridays Button Challenge. Woop Woop!)

I get so excited when Papertrey Ink has a new release! I saw the first sneak peeks when I was looking for the Make It Monday Video. August is always my favorite because of Halloween! I can’t wait! I haven’t been able to order for awhile so my wish list is about 10 miles long now, LOL!

Anyway, back to my card, haha 🙂 This week the technique is to stamp a random background.

I don’t know why, but I immediately thought of The Sweet Life stamp set and wanted a bird to go with it. I pulled out the little bird from Trendy Tree Tops, but it just wasn’t right. Then I remembered there was a bird in the Grunge Me set so I whipped it out and low and behold, the poor forgotten Hummingbird! (I use the other images like the paint splatters and the dots and stripes A LOT more often and sort of forget about that cute little birdy.) And to go with my bright feeling background I used my favorite sentiment in the We Go Together stamp set. 🙂

Hope you like it!

Muse #28

Hello there Muse, it’s been awhile. I am glad to be back. 🙂

Here is the inspiration card this week,

I loved it and wanted to do a smaller version,

I really like how it turned out! I’ve been on a “make everything in mini” mind set lately and thought this was the perfect time to try it out, LOL.

Muse #19

Hello MUSE, I’m back! 🙂

This week we have a gorgeous card to CASE by Michelle Williams. 🙂

Like I said, Gorgeous! I’ve bee a fan of her’s for a while. 🙂

Here is my take,

I was inspired by the framing of the sentiment and by the flowers. 🙂 At first I just had the frame with the flowers, but I felt it needed something else so I added the lace with a bit of DP 🙂

Hope you like it! 🙂

Make It Monday #116

This week’s Make It Monday with Papertrey Ink is super cute! I would have NEVER thought to use a comb of all things to give my stamps more texture and a completely different look. It’s absolutely genius! 🙂 Here is my card,

I used some masking to box in the sentiment. 🙂

Muse #12 & Make It Monday #111

So this week I watched the PTI Make It Monday tutorial video before I saw the Muse card, so when I did see the Muse challenge a light bulb clicked on. 🙂 I thought “hey I can use the PTI Make It Monday technique on my flowers for my Muse card!” Oh happy day. 🙂 Love it when that happens. So here is the Muse’s card,

Gorgeous right? 🙂 And here is my card in which I also use the Make It Monday technique,

I was inspired by some of the colors and the layout of the Muse’s card, and I water colored over some white embossing per the Make It Monday technique for my flowers and leaves. 🙂

Papertrey Ink Make It Monday #106

Wow, that’s two weeks in a row I have been able to participate in Papertrey Ink’s Make It Monday! Woo Hoo! There is definitely something to be said for getting organized, even if it is just a little at a time. 😉 This week the technique is two toned stamping, so here is my experiment with it…

I realized after I started editing the photo that my ribbon is a little wonky. Oops. My son is making it a bit difficult to re-take the picture…in a good way of course, LOL. 🙂

Muse #7

Hello Muse, nice to see you this week, LOL! I actually made this card on Monday, but haven’t had time to post it until now. 🙂 Here is the Muse’s card,

I love the white on Kraft and the design in the panel. So I pretty much CASEd this card exactly. 🙂 Here is my interpretation,

Why yes, yes I am addicted to my new Heidi Swapp Color Shine sprays! LOL! Michael’s was having a sale on Sunday buy one get one 1/2 off so I had to go and get two more colors. 😉

Papertrey Ink Make It Monday #105

Yay I get to play along with Make It Monday this week! Woo Hoo! This week the technique is glitter borders 🙂 Here is my card…

I am IN LOVE with the new Mini Blooms stamp set! And I only have two border dies (for now, LOL!) and so I used my heart border die and just covered up the bottom so it would look like a scalloped edge. 😉

(PS: I know my photography STILL leaves something to be desired, but I’m working on it! LOL)

CAS(E) This Sketch #17

So I got a little carried away with this weeks sketch because I got some happy mail from PTI. 🙂 Here is the sketch…

And my (over done, but had a blast) interpretation…
