10 Minute Craft Dash







I've been wanting to play along at the 10 Minute Craft Dash challenge but have been intimidated by the time factor so I let a few challenges go on by. This week's colors got me though - I love this color combination! So, here's my card and done in less than 5 minutes! Whoo Whoo! What a great concept for a challenge...you know how it can sometimes take an hour to make one thing! Clean and simple, just the way I like it.

Thanks for stopping by!

Supplies:
Stamps: PTI Out To Sea
Ink: PTI Pure Poppy & Aqua Mist, Momento Tuxedo Black
Paper: PTI White & Harvest Gold
Other: PTI Double Ended Banner Die

ColourQ #192

Things got a little messy while I was making this card, in an ink on my hands kind of way. It was sort of refreshing inking up this piece of embossed paper in these gorgeous colors from ColourQ this week. I don't usually go for this type of look but I am loving the results.







Thanks for visiting.

PTI Make It Monday #118

I haven't played along with the Make It Monday challenge in a while but when Ashley's tutorial for photo postcards came up, I just had to try it. I picked this photo from my recent trip to the Philippines with my godmother in mind as the recipient. We just missed each other over there and I haven't had a chance to catch up with her since then. I think she's gonna love seeing a glimpse of our vacation.



I used the banner in the Sketched Shapes set for the back of my postcard.



This is a great way to use up extra scenic photos from vacations. I'll definitely be making more of these personalized postcards.

Supplies:
Stamps: PTI Sketched Shapes and Half & Half
Ink: PTI Smokey Shadow and Aqua Mist

Crafty Saturday Part 2

Just a few more cards I made this weekend....yes, seems like a lot huh? But all was in my favor - quiet, kid-free house, chores & errands all caught up, and two movies to watch (Safe Haven and Les Miserables) while crafting. Sometimes the stars all need to be aligned for so much to get done!

This first card is my take on this week's challenge at Fusion Card Challenge (BOTH the sketch & inspiration photo). Also entering this into the CAS-ual Friday's Clean & Simple challenge which has a CONGRATULATIONS theme.







This second card is inspired by Maile's card at CASE Study Challenge. I don't have any feathers in my stash but I liked the bit of color and banner along the bottom.





Last card for today uses the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week. I used green Perfect Pearls for the leaves on the willow tree. Hope you can see the glimmery effect in the second photo.







Hope you had a great weekend as well!

Supplies:

Celebrate:
Paper: PTI White, Echo Park Dots & Stripes, PTI Pure Poppy Patterned Paper

Busy Crafty Saturday

The temperatures were high here in NJ and I was able to head down to my little craft nook in the cool basement while DH and the kids were at our town pool. Here are some of the cards I made yesterday:

First card was made using the Smoke & Sky color palette at Play Date Cafe this week. I thought the muted colors would work best with the PTI Watercolor Wonder set for the artistic look.





This card was inspired by the sketch challenge #18 at Seize the Birthday. I made this brightly colored card for my niece's second birthday next weekend.





Next card was inspired by the bright rainbow of colors at the Pinspired Challenge #10. Never played here before but have always wanted to. They have great photos for their jumping off point.





More cards to come! Thanks for stopping by.

Supplies:

With Sympathy:
Stamps: PTI Watercolor Wonder and Botanical Silhouettes
Ink: PTI Lavender Moon, Plum Pudding, and Berry Sorbet
Paper: PTI White & Lavender Moon

2nd Birthday:
Paper: Memory Box, American Crafts The Goods-Bubbles
Other: PTI Stars and By The Numbers Dies, EK Success Medallion Sticker

Let's Celebrate:
Stamps: PTI Sketchy Shapes, Comfort Food Additions
Ink: PTI Hibiscus Burst, Plum Pudding, Limeade Ice, Hawaiian Shores, Harvest Gold, Raspberry Fizz and Momento Tuxedo Black
Paper:PTI White and Hawaiian Shores
