PTI Morning Make & Take - Here is my take on Nicholes morning make & take.  I used Autumn Rose, Pure Poppy & New Leaf stamp pads, Rasberry Fizz Card Stock, Vellum.  Thanks Nichole!

Here is my take on Erins Ribbon.  I used a green, light purple and multi color grosgrain.  Have to learn to take brighter pictures - but I'm sure you get the idea.  Maybe by the end of the day I'll have my camera figured out.  Thanks Erin!

Here is my take on the limited supply list.  I used Aqua Mist for the solid, with Hawaiian Shores for the detail and chartreuse for the center.  Enjoy!

I used pure poppy inker with classic kraft.  I love this combination of colors. 

Thought I'd go with a holiday theme for my package of cards.  I used Jessica Witty's idea, and debossed the ornament and used it on the envelopes. Enjoy, Love the idea Jessica thank you!

StampAFaire Meet & Greet 2012Here I am getting ready for a day full of stamping fun.  Papertrey StampAFaire 2012.

Took out that ugly picture.  Need to lose some weight!  Maybe in 2013.  Hee Hee

I'm Back.....

Took a little siesta from my blog.  But I'm back with new cards for your viewing pleasure and comments.  I'd love to hear what you like and what you don't.  I would also like to shout out to Teresa R. cause today is her birthday.  Happy Birthday Girl.  Hope your having a good day.  Stay cool out there. 

Thanks for checking in.

OWH

OK,  Yesterday I sent out my first batch of 20 cards to OWH.  It is truly inspiring to be able to contribute. 

Operation Write Home

So I've started working on the cards I'm going to send to OWH. Here is the first set going out this weekend. Leave a comment and let me know what you think.

Operation Write Home

The last Papertrey Radio was aired last week and the guest was creator of Operation Write Home.  Sorry I will have to update, I forgot her name already.  Anyway, my goal is to send cards for the troops that remain in Afgan.  It will give me a reason to be creative and keep on top of all my family/friend cards as well.  So there you have it - I've just commited and look forward to receiving my stamp so I can get them sent out as soon as possible.Thanks for checking in!

Die Storage

I have tried several different ways to store my PTI dies.  First I used a small 5x7 3 ring binder, then I tried the magnetic sheets.  Here is what has worked for me best - since I like to have them on hand to grab as needed I took a storage box, some A2 envelopes, cut off the sticky part and labeled the dies either by hand for with a label maker.  I also have a box with all my cuttlebug embossing folders.  Hope this helps.  I put them in alphabetical order to make it easier for me to find.  Doesn't look neat - cause I have them squeezed in . But it is ver effective.

Happy New Year

Hello all, Happy 2012 to everyone.  I've been absent for quite a while.  Loving that new grandson of mine.  I've been working on some new cards for your viewing pleasure.  Here are a few.

Thanks for checking in - I'll be back soon.

Baby Boy

Isn't he the most precious little thing you have ever seen.  This is why I've been absent from posting on my blog.  Lots going on and he is the biggest of them all.  His name is Finley Patrick. My first grandchild.  Loving every minute I get to snuggle with him.
