Dawns Raspberry Suite Challenge Week2

Helllllooo!! Happy Monday! Thanks for tuning in! I got to play in Dawn's Raspberry Suite color challenge this week. Yipee! Here is what I came up with. I used Stampin' Up! Taken with Teal, Certainly Celery. Papertrey Ink Dark Chocolate and Stampers Select White. The stamp set is PTI Garden of Life and Recipe box Label. The little pearls at the top are Just Pearls by SMH that I picked up at Precious Scraps. They are really cute but the white in them doesn't show up so much in the pic. I cut out the recipe box label and added to the bottom of the main panel then raised the entire piece on dimensionals. Quick and easy. I also cut out a teal flower and leaf and added it on the inside of the card. Okie Dokie, I gotta run, if you read my last post you know I have not much time at all to get 150 cards done. I also JUST completed my step daughter's graduation invitations!! OH MY! Why do I get myself into these things? Thanks for the visit and I hope you enjoy your night!
Cheers!

ring ring:
Me: Hello
Girl: Hi Julie, I really like the card you made for me. My daughter is having an event and I would love it if you could make this card in these colors: black&white, silver and purple.
Me: Sure
Girl: Okay great, I need 300 of them
Me: Holy Shikes!
Girl: by April 7th
Me: Holy Shikes! I am truly sorry but that is impossible, I am a one man show.
Girl: I understand, how about 150
Me: UH! okay!?!?!
ring ring
Mom: Hello
Me: Mom, i just had someone order 150 cards. OMG, I still have to order stuff, Grace has a dance competition Saturday, what was I thinking........
Mom: I'll come over, we'll get them done.
Me: Your the BEST mom EVER!
Mom: Yes, See you Friday.
Me: Thanks, I love you!
So that was Saturday, Good think PTI delivers in a FLASH!!!
Now, on to my card. This image is from Whiff of Joy sent to me by Jennifer from our blog group.
Any Whiff of Joy was on my image swap request. Jennifer's mother had some so she asked her to stamp a few for me. And she did, and also made a cute little holder to ship them in. Aren't moms awesome! I just got the That's Amore paper pack from CTMH and thought it would be great with this image. I colored her with Copic Markers and used Mojo Monday Sketch69 for the layout. Used Spellbinders scallop rectangle and Favorite Findings buttons. I think she turned out great considering I am still new to Copic coloring. Well, as you can see from the conversation above I need to get a move on. Thanks for your visit. I hope to be back soon. Peace Out!!!
Cheers!

Inching by just to say HI

Hola..Happy Friday!!! I have so many errands to run today and it just started raining. Poo! Oh well, I am off from work and my sweet Gracie is still on spring break so we will make the best of it. I have a quick card to share. This card uses last months PTI release of Melon Berry. I had forgotten to order the ink but what do you know...CTMH had a new color this year called Sorbet and it matches PERFECTLY!!!! Yea!! I was so excited. The Caterpillar is from Pond Life also PTI.
I ran half of the card through the Swiss Dot cuttlebug folder then scored lines on top and bottom of the Caterpillar. Attached some ribbon both from PTI and a cute little Vintage button and called it a card. Easy Peasy. Okie dokie, I am off. Thank you for coming to look at my blog today. I hope you enjoyed. Have an AWESOME DAY!!!!!!!!
Cheers!

Papertrey Ink Blog Hop

HI!!!!
Here is my project for the Papertrey Ink monthly blog hop. I have not been able to participate the last couple of times. Anywho......we are to make a background using stamps. This is what I came up with I am LOVIN' the Damask set by Dawn McVey for PTI. I stamped it in black onto Stampers Select White Cardstock. Mounted that onto True Black and then onto Spring Moss.
It is pretty super simple but makes a statement, I think anyway. Hope you enjoyed. I must run off now to check out the other participants. THANK YOU for coming to look. Go check out the other entries in the forum at PTI.

Fizz Box Cards

Aww Man, Its Monday already? I must return back to work from a wonderful 11 days of vacation. I guess I am ready really. To get back into the grove of things. Today I am sharing two of the cards I made for the Raspberry Fizz Box below. I used Papertrey Ink With Sympathy for the first one and the second one is a sentiment from Damask. The dots on it were made with a cuttlebug border that I got at my friend Beverly store called Precious Scraps in Dover TN. You should go by her store if you are anywhere near. She is sooooooo sweet. I am off to work, thanks for your visit!!! Have a happy Monday!
Cheers!

Card Box in Raspberry Fizz

Hey Girls! How was your Saturday? I had a little crafting day with some friends. I decided to make the All Wrapped Up box from Timeless Templates from PTI. If you have not ever checked out any of the templates that Lauren Meader designs for PTI you should REALLY check it out. That girl has some serious talent!! And the templates are only $5.00 through PTI you download them and have them forever along with instructions and ideas. I made this box using Raspberry Fizz (some of you know how much I am in LOVE with that color) and Stampers Select White and Raspberry Fizz Patterned Paper. PTI cardstock is the best to use with this box because it is so sturdy. I am not be finished with the design on the outside because I am not sure who I made this for yet and for what occasion. Now I just have it almost done for a quick gift when needed. the other pics are of the box open with cards in it and without the cards so you get the idea of how much it can hold. Depending on how much you embellish your cards you can fit 4-6 with envelopes. The next couple of days I will share the cards I made to match the box. Hope you enjoy it!! Have an awesome tomorrow. And thanks so much for coming by here. I enjoy your company!
Cheers!

Damask and Melon Berry

Happy Happy Friday!!!!!!! Oh, it look like it is going to be a beautiful day today!!! I must get out of the house today...especially since the roofers are putting on a new roof today....I don't want to listen to all that banging and racket! So today I wanted to share the first card I made with a new set from PTI called Damask that was designed by the sweet and talented Dawn McVey. I also played with PTI new color (last month) Melon Berry. The little bitty design above the black is rubon from Creative Imaginations. The sentiment is Heart Print Sentiments. I cut and embossed a Curvy Rectangle from Spellbinders for a main image. My dh says it looks like the mark that psychiatrist use for the patients to determine what the spot is. He said that doctors name that invented it but I cannot remember now. He so crazy! Well tooda-loo for now gang!
thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy your Friday!
Cheers!

Hippy Chick

Hey!! How are you? Doin' well I hope. Here is a little card I made for my daughters friend birthday party. My sweet friend Gina let me borrow Hippy Chick Hanna. She makes me smile. I colored her with Copic Markers and the tye dye paper I picked up at Joann. That is it. I actually wanted to put more stuff on the card like flowers but, we were running out the door to the party so this was all I could do. Fortunately Gina let me stamp several of the images so I will be able to make another one like I want to. I know....you were worried!! LOL. Okie dokie, I am off. Thanks so much for your visit! Hope you have a great night.
Cheers!
