PTI August Blog Hop

I love the new DP PTI has come out with for fall you can find the free paper download
{Here} this is what I printed out onto Vintage Cream Card stock.

After printing out the sample paper I punched the squares, one of the squares I punched a leaf out of then mounted that square with pop dots to make a focal point.

All products PTI except for the scor pal to create the horizontal lines, marvy leaf punch as SU word window punch.

Thanks for stopping by enjoy the Hop and Happy Stamp Day!

SCA3C15 Still Black and Blue

It has been one rough week around here with myself being sick with the Flu and just this am little J coming down with it. I feel so bad for her, laying on the couch like a dishrag in need of folding. It is hard to keep this one down, you know when she is acting like this something is up. She is only 3, we are limited on what type of cough and cold medicine to give her other then TLC and some Motrin every 6 hours. I have managed to finish a project that I started last week before the sickies came to visit, just put the finishing touches on it today using some new PTI goodies...

A PTI connect the dot challenge

Today on Capture the Moment Nichole has a connect the dots puzzler to win some awesome prizes. You connect the dots and it will form the card layout you are to use for the challenge.

I love the new dotted paper coming on the 15th, and the new colors are so YUMMY, lets talk RIBBON it is so beautiful. Really PTI has the best stuff out there, in my opinion.

Here is my challenge card...

Cuttlebug "Large" flower Die

I love it when PaperTrey Ink designs a flower that will fit into a cuttlebug die it makes your project so much more interesting. You know that I use my cuttlebug dies with my "Original Sizzix" Yep, that is right I have not purchased the actual Cuttlebug yet. At times I can't get a good clean cut on the first try, so I try again leading to the image slipping and cutting or embossing in a different spot causing me to have to start the process all over again. Same goes for the Nesties...

Well, I have been playing around with the Cricut again and Design Studio and I came up with the perfect flower cut to match the "Largest" flower out of the set of four. This is the flower I use the most so it is the first one I tried to recreate. Have to say it has saved me much time and wasted card stock.

So you have a Cricut and Design Studio software and wish to have this cut file? You can email me at Paschal.sara@gmail.com with the words Cuttlebug large flower in the subject line and I will email you the link back. You will need George and Basic Shapes Cartridge and I use the baby bug.

Here are some cards I made with this die flower and PTI stamps...

I enjoy my weekly PTI color challenges and I have made a few card sketches in the past.

Birthday Girl SCS sketch #200

Here is this weeks SCS Sketch Challenge, if you are ever in need of inspiraton a good card sketch is a great start and now SCS has 200 of them in the forum...




Today our oldest DD turns 14, I have mixed feelings about this day. She has grown up so very fast and wants to act much older then she is, why can't they stay little for a wee bit longer? Anyhow she has been very frustrated with her MOTHER this week, it is my fault for everything, her knees...lack of bday party...can't get her driving permit...can't play sports...does not get a gift...and her list goes on into infinity. So just for the lack of showing her my personality in return, I made her a birthday girl card, hey at least I did not go as far as making a baby card LOL!!

I have to explain the lack of us giving her a birthday gift this year. Last year she so just had to have an MP3 player we gave in and purchased one for her guess what she has since lost it. So in trying to teach a lesson there will be no gift from us this year, this may sound out of sorts to some people but you have to understand that gift was a ton of money and it is just gone...Hopefully she will learn to be more responsible for her things from now on. (That is our goal.)
