PTI SAF 2013:Mixing Mists to Match

I really did mix a mist to match! I only have a couple PTI re-inkers that weren't colors I was going for, but used some other ones I had to mix up (I think!) a great match for one of my fave PTI colors, Ocean Tides. It looks really good next to the OT cardstock.
Couldn't find my heat gun, so used the toaster! I'm feeling very resourceful today.

Thanks for taking a look!

Supplies: PTI cardstock, stamps, ink; clear embossing powder, Versamark ink, Marvy re-inkers

What a joy to make this card! Some friends who've wanted to be parents for a long time have adopted a little girl.
There were many steps to this card -- several dies, embossing, fussy cutting, stamping, paper-piecing; but so worth the effort.

Thanks for taking a look!

How timely for PTI's Blog Hop to feature gold accents -- I needed to make a card for a 50th anniversary party. Each of those things inspired me to get a card made.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Supplies: PTI: cardstock, Mat Stack die, edger die, sentiment stamp; Hero Arts vine background stamp, Delicata gold ink, Spellbinders medallion die, Anna Griffin ribbon

Summer-y Birthday card w/PTI Chevron cover plate

I used a new supply in the same week I received it! The PTI Chevron cover plates were so entrancing, I bought both the horizontal & the vertical!

I cut it out from PTI's linen vellum. I'd forgotten this existed until some of the DT used it in their countdown projects. This LO is CASEd from THIS card by Jess Witty.

The birthday girl liked it, so I was a happy card-maker.

Thanks for taking a look!

Supplies: PTI: cardstock, vellum, stamp, dies; Memento ink, EK circle punch, Spellbinders daisy die

Memorial Day "Any Hero mail" signing for OWH

I made about 170 cards (with some assembly help from some little crafty girls & their mamas) for a card signing at my church.
These were "Any Hero Mail" cards for Operation Write Home. They have a constant need for these to include in the boxes of handmade cards they send out to units of deployed U.S. Armed Services. You can read more about this here http://operationwritehome.org/anyhero/

Kristina Werner blog giveaway haul!

Kristina Werner did a huge giveaway on her blog -- she was moving to a new house & needed to purge her craft room. She just asked that we pay for shipping of the box of goodies -- what a deal!
I was one of the lucky winners of a Priority Mail box stuffed w/great stuff!
I knew this box was meant to be mine because the first thing I pulled out was a box of Eiffel Tower cards w/French-themed stamps! Further into the box, I found a BG set w/ more French sentiments!
I hope the pictures give you an idea of how much goodie was packed into that box.
Thanks, Kristina! May your new house be a blessing to you & to everyone who enters it!
