I find it is so much easier using a sketch to get my creativity flowing.  I really liked the sketch over at MojoMonday so decided to use that for the birthday card I need to get mailed out tomorrow for my sister in law.  Here is their sketch

I changed up the sketch quite a bit to suit my purposes as you can see in my finished card below -

 

I absolutely love how this turned out and hope she likes it as well.

Papertrey Ink blog hop

PTI's blog hop is today and the theme this month is hearts.  This was perfect as I needed to make an anniversary card for my sister and her husband.
I decided simple would best highlight my heart shaped dies.  Here is my card -

The picture is a little dark as it was snowing and gloomy outside when I took the picture. 

I really think my sister will enjoy this don't you?

Mojo Monday

One more for today.

I follow another blog, Mojo Monday, that also had a really cute sketch this week.  The prize for this last week is your choice of a stamp set over at  the Verve Stamps shop. As I have quite a few birthdays both this month and next it was time to start creating.  Sketch's make this process so much easier as then all that is needed is picking out paper, stamps and ink colors to complete the project.  Here is their sketch for this past week:

 

 

I told you this was cute.  And here is my take on their sketch:

 

This is going to be the perfect card for my brother in law whose birthday is this month.

Here are the supplies I used:

Papertrey Ink - cardstock - Tropical Teal
Little Yellow Bicycle - pattern paper - Fern & forest
Papertrey Ink - stamps & dies - Songbirds & Mat stack 7 basics
Stampin Up - ink - chocolate chip

Thank you for stopping by!

Happy Sunday everyone.

I follow quite a few blogs over on bloglovin and I can't say how convenient that makes things.  This particular blog, Sketch Saturday, has a really cute sketch that I thought was simple and I could then create a quite elegant sympathy card I need to mail tomorrow.  Here is the sketch

And here is the link to the blog Sketch Saturday.  This week the giveaway is a $25 gift certificate to Simon Says and we all know how much I like to shop.

Papertrey Ink cardstock - New Leaf
Papertrey Ink - Royal Velvet ink
Papertrey Ink - Cutting Garden stamp (sympathy)

Papertrey October blog hop challenge

Papertrey Ink has a blog hop today.  I choose two different color combinations to use and then broke out some stamps that I have not used yet.

  I used my garden grace stamp set for the flowers and songbirds set for the happy birthday music.

Here are the colors for my next card.

I am so glad I purchased the Songbirds stamp/die set from the current October release.  What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello again.  Wow two posts in one month I think that is a record for me.
I have been struggling to figure out what I was going to do with Tim Holtz's altered clock.  I watched a ton of YouTube videos, checked out blogs and scoured sites looking for ideas.  Finally I decided on at least a color scheme.
My new bedroom color is a very cool green and I have some really colorful art above the bed.  So keeping with those red, green and orange colors I misted the heck out of the clock after coating it with two coats of gesso.  I used my fingers in the gesso to give some additional texture.

Here is a picture of that

Once I had that done I had to figure out what I wanted to do inside.  I played with the idea of a Prima door with some flowers and clock pieces but then thought of my PTI die that is a clock face/hands.  I thought this was perfect.  The only problem was it was too thin so going with the trends of today I cut it out four times then glued them together.  Here is what that looked like

Here is how they looked side by side before and after

That made it nice and thick.

After assembling those I decided to see how it looked on the clock inside back.

I really liked how that looked!  And then it was an accident that I found on my table this for the center of the clock hands and how cute does this look?

Did I mention that I got that cute little orange/peachy flower from this months card kit from Mary?  Perfect match!  Thanks Mary :)
So I started to put it all together.  Here is the finished product.  I have to apologize in advance as I used my Iphone to take my pictures and didn't notice you can see the reflection in the glass.

Hello I see it has been quite some time since my last blog post.  Today I had the day off and decided to watch the YouTube video from Papertrey Ink's Make it Monday.  The technique really appealed to me so I decided to try it out.

First is a link to their video if you would like to try this

Make it Monday

Here is what I came up with.

All of my supplies I purchased are from PTI.  The flower dies and stamps are Delightful Dahlia, the sentiment is from Beautiful Butterflies and the border stamp is from Ombre Builders.  The colors I used are melon berry, harvest gold and simply chartreuse.

If you try this out make sure to share with me.
