CPS 153

Of course I have to play along - it's being sponsored by PTI!!! I almost forgot to post this one! It's been sitting on my desk all week, but with real life going on, it's just been sitting there so I thought I should post it before it's too late!

Here is the sketch.....



And here is my take on it....



Nothing but PTI Kraft and Pure Poppy card stock, a bit of bling, a couple of punched corners, a heart cut from my Cricut and some twine....easy!!





And a bit of decoration on the inside....



Thanks for stopping by! See you next time!

Day 2: Papertrey Ink 3rd Birthday Celebration - Post #2

Okay - I made it back for two more cards but then I'm done.....I've been up 22.5 hours and I've lost my mojo. I'll just let the pictures do the talking!

Day 2: Papertrey Ink 3rd Birthday Celebration!!!

Well, all of you know my heart belongs to PTI, so it's no surprise I'm playing along with the challenge today over on Nichole's blog. I'm hoping to use all nine images, but I have been up since midnight last night unable to sleep and I'm hoping to get some normal sleep tonight!! I see several people have already linked up for all nine images....I wish I had the time!!

I fell in love with Becky's image....so simple, sweet, unusual all at once. I originally printed it on some watercolor paper with the intention of water coloring it, but my printer ink refused to dry, so I just colored it in with colored pencils on Stamper's Select white card stock, popped it up on Spring Rain and called it a day! Did you notice the shadowing on the house??;)



I colored the balloon red because I wanted that to be the focal point and then added Ranger Glossy Accents to it to make it stand out a bit more.



For the inside I stamped the sentiment from last year's anniversary set with Pure Poppy ink in the center, cut out another balloon, glued it down and had it 'tie' around the letter Y by using a black ballpoint pen. I used some more Glossy Accents on that balloon too.



That's it for now - I'm hoping to be back for more but I have to type up a bunch of papers for church so who knows. Thanks for stopping by!!
