Becky Oehler's "Compose A Card Challenge"

Here's my take on Becky Oehler's Challenge. The first card is a traditional Valentine's card using the recipe provided. The second is a card for a friend. I know it said colors and cutting...but I didn't have those colors. Sniff. Will definitely purchase them in my next PTI order.

 

 

American Crafts Valentine Notebook

 

Yes, another notebook. I used my stash of Valentine's paper from American Crafts. The stamp is from a Hero Arts set, and the punches are Marvy Uchida Clever Lever Scallop Oval and Oval. This is the full size notebook (5x8). Stay tuned for another notebook I made after modifying Nichole Heady's tutorial for the half size with pen holder.

I have wanted this set ever since I first saw it. This is PTI's In Bloom, and it's exactly what I expected. I stamped the biggest flower in black on pure poppy cardstock and cut out both flowers. I popped up the little one and stamped the sentiment from Damask Designs. Simple, just my style. I made the same card using Raspberry Fizz. Note to self: Stamp the sentiment before adhering the flowers...at least the popped up one. Lol.

Another Notebook

I made another notebook with ALL PTI supplies. I used Turning Leaf patterned paper, Bazzill cardstock, and PTI's Take Note stamp set. I also used the notebook template from Nichole Heady. Woo hoo for PTI!

Stationery Tote

I saw this tutorial FREE on Inking Idaho during Christmas break. I tried to make it, and then I realized I didn't have an oval and an oval scallop punch. Luckily, my savvy husband bought me an oval scallop for Christmas. However, he had no idea I needed the plain oval as well. I finally got it two weeks ago, thanks to Leish. Anyway, last weekend I finally attempted it again. For the cards, I made simple, stamped Kraft cards. I had to trim a jr. legal notepad...a lot to make it fit. There are envies on the left in that pocket. I also covered a binder clip.

I used the flower image from October Afternoon and the sentiment from a Hero Arts set. The patterned paper is PTI's In Bloom. I just got the In Bloom stamp set, and I LOVE IT. It looks comparable to SU's Fifth Avenue Floral, which I want but the price is a little prohibitive.

Seriously...

I made cards, notebooks, and a tote. I will post pictures Saturday sometime. I am LOVING PTI's cardstock. So thick. So yummy. I don't like pink... In fact, I HATE it, but I really, really like raspberry fizz.

Promises, Promises

So I did complete ONE project this weekend, but I haven't had the chance to take any good pictures of it. I hope to do that tomorrow.

However, I put in a big order for PTI because the hubby gave me a little fun money...and I got it today. I put the order in midnight Thursday, and I got my order today. How unbelievable is that. Here's a quick picture of my goodies...
