LOAD Days 7-10

Still going strong with the Layout a Day challenge. I'm really loving Lain's prompts and what I've been able to create each day. Doing a lot more pages about ME than I usually do which is a great change.

Day 7 - Pals, Buddies, Friends


Day 8 - I Miss Traveling


Day 9 - Home Sweet Home


Day 10 - The Halloween That Almost Never Was


Thanks for sharing this journey with me.

Papertrey & Pintrest Day 5 - Take 4

Ok, last card for today. I found this image on Pintrest and it inspired me to use my Papertrey Up, Up, and Away stamp set. This was my very first Papertrey Stamp set and its gotten VERY little ink since I got it.

Here's my take. Simple. Changed the colors to make it brighter. Used the same balloon placement. Will probably use more color next time. I love the effect of the pop dots under the balloons for dimension.


Supplies: Cardstock: Papertrey White, Stamps & Dies: PTI Up, Up, and Away Set, Ink: Summer Sunrise, Pure Poppy, Patterned Paper: American Crafts, Black Ink: Momento Black

Thanks so looking!

Supplies: All Papertrey Ink: Rustic Cream Cardstock, Ink: Berry Sorbet, Summer Sunrise, Spring Moss, and Flower Fusion #12 Stamp Set

Thanks for looking. I really appreciate it.

I need a bunch of birthday cards for my friends turning 40 this year. Unfortunately, yes, that means I'm turning 40 too! So here's my second card for Papertrey Ink's challenge today -

I was drawn to this frame I saw on Pinterest. Love the tone on tone look.


Supplies: All Papertrey Ink: Dies: By the Numbers, Felt: Harvest Gold, Cardstock, Aqua Mist & Dark Chocolate, Ink: Fresh Snow

Papertrey Ink Anniversary - Day 5

Today's anniversary challenge is to find inspiration from Pinterest. A great challenge though I was afraid I would spend too much time browsing through Pintrest so I gave myself a 20 minute limit. Here's my inspiration for my first card which drew me in with its blended colors:



Here's what I came up with:



Supplies: All Papertrey Ink except Momento Rich Cocoa ink: Cardstock: Rustic Cream, Die: Heart Border & Half and Half, Stamps: Tree Tops, Sentiment: Fillable Frames Additions 2, Inks: Enchanted Evening, Class Kraft, Spring Moss, Felt: Simply Chartreuse

Papertrey Anniversary Day 4

Today's challenge was all about color. I was inspired by the color palette selected by Danielle Flanders. It seemed perfect for a little girl's birthday gift card holder that I needed this weekend.



Supplies: All supplies from Papertrey Ink except bakers twine from The Twinery: Seed Packet Die, Sweet as can Be Stamp set, Sweet as can Be Dies, Ink: Raspberry Fizz, Summer Sunrise, Hawaiian Shores, Pure Poppy, and Classic Kraft.
