Baby Shower and Graduation!

Ah, procrastinated again! DMIL (Dear Mother-in-Love) needs a card for a baby shower and I need a card for a graduation celebration.

I made these up this afternoon and now we need to leave in about 5 minutes. Nothing like waiting until the last minute.

Everything I used is PTI and Nestabilities. They were both inspired by cards I saw in CARDS.

Enjoy!!!

Weekend Fun!

What a wonderful weekend! I was able to make three more cards; one Father's Day, one Praying for you, and one Graduation.

The Father's Day card was designed from one I found in my Cards mag. as well as the Graduation one. The Praying for you idea was from the PTI gallery. As you can tell, I'm not very creative on my own. Thanks to others that are willing to share their ideas so that I can get headed in the right direction.

I finally used my clear cardstock on the grad card. I really like it, however, it is difficult to photograph.

ENJOY!

Stamp sets: Fresh Alphabet, Scattered Showers, Friends til the End, Wise Owl, and Around & About Sentiments.

Happy Father's Day with PTI

What a fun day! I got all of my "FLYing" done this morning so I could spend the afternoon making Father's Day cards for the church bookstore.

WOW! At first I was really bummed that I hadn't purchase "Men of Life" for my Father's Day cards but as you can see, I made out just fine.

I grabbed my newest issue of Cards Magazine (June 2009) and got inspired!!! My ideas came from Dawn McVey (Father's Day: Tea Leaves), Danielle Holsapple (Background Spot and Dots), Davinie Fiero (Owls), and Kandis Smith (Birds). Thanks, ladies!!! You all ROCK!!!

All of the backgrounds were stamped with PTI stamps except for the Tea Leaf paper, which is also from PTI.

Stamp sets used were:

Faux Ribbon, Background Basics: Spots and Dots, Father Knows Best, Fresh Alphabet, Pond Life, Around and About, Wise Owl, Polka Dot Basics, Heartfelt Basics, Mailbox Greetings, Background Basics: Text Style, Bird Watching, Mega Mixed Messages, Journaling Lines, and Trajan Monogram.

Just about all of the cardstock and inks are PTI except for the colors that PTI hasn't come out with yet, like SU! Creamy Caramel and SU! Ruby Red.

Buttons were from my stash and the twine is from PTI and I LOVE IT!!!

My FAVORITE is the way that the background on the bird card was made with Journaling Lines using Ocen Tides ink in one direction and Dark Chocolate for the other drection.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing these cards and maybe I can pass some of the inspiration on to you!

ENJOY!
