Tiny Treats + Simple Valentine

Good Morning! Today I have for you some more tiny treats (that cute little frog) mixed with lots of Simple Valentine (both paper and stamps). Everything is mounted up on Kraft cardstock. The only non PTI component is the tiny Heidi Grace gel heart. Thanks for stopping by!

Tiny Treats 2

Good morning! It is Monday and I am having a hard time getting back into the routine. Luckily I have Mondays off. Its part of the benefit of being a science teacher... a more flexible schedule. Of course with that comes the downfall of being expendable, hence being laid off each year. In any case no work on Mondays but my kiddos have to be at school so Monday is always like a trial in my efforts to get back on schedule. I pried myself out of bed this morning. I will be heading to the gym after dropping the kids and then I have a list of chores to get done. Most of them should have been done yesterday but I had a lazy Sunday. Ok, on to the cards:Today I have two more tiny treats cards. These are made on PTI pure poppy cardstock. I stamped the backgrounds with Background Basics Hearts. Love that tiny heart. I added some Simple Valentine pp and some hibiscus twill. The little animals and backgrounds are stamped on stampers white and colored with copics. Some buttons and Heidi Grace hearts round out the mix. Thanks for stopping by! Have a great week!

Tiny Treats

I thought I would show you the mess on my craft table! See that tiny 4 inch clean section- yeah thats where I work! I cant help it I am a slob. Everytime I clean it up, I turn around and mess it up again. As you can see I have quite a few of these little cards. So fun and easy to make. I have close ups of all of them and will probably put them up through out the week. Of course I go back to work this week so we will see how I do time management wise.This first little guy is so cute! The frog is my favorite image from this set, PTI's Tiny Treats. There are so many cute sentiments and images, its hard to choose just one. The background is Hibiscus Card stamped with PTI's Background Basics- Hearts in Fresh Snow ink. I have a strip of Simple Valentine PP. The frog image is stamped in black while the label image is in Hibiscus. I cut it out with my spellbinder scallops. The little gel heart I got at big lots awhile back, its by Heidi Grace I believe. The frog is colored with my trusty copics. Thanks for stopping by!

Valentine's Day Scrap Challenge

Nichole Heady of Papertrey Ink issued a challege to use your scraps! You can see the challenge here. Now scraps is something I have plenty of... especially V-Day scraps as I have spent the last day and a half making V-Day cards (I will have them up sometime this week). For this challenge I used all Papertrey products.

The border was created using PTIs Simple Valentine stamped with Fresh Snow on Kraft. I made the panel by weaving left over strips of patterned paper from Simple Valentine. I attached it to a scrap cardstock base and glued the whole thing down. Red grosgrain is wrapped around the bottom. The cute little scalloped circle was a left over from some Valentines using Tiny Treats: Valentine. The dino is colored with copics. The sentiment on the bottom of the card is from Simple Valentine.

Another Friends Card

I cant decide if I like this one or the blue one better. What do you think? I did this one first. Same sets as yesterday (Friends til the End and Retro backgrounds) but different colors, different sentiment. Todays colors are summer sunrise and kraft cardstock, orange zest and chocolate ink and loads of copic markers. Thanks for stopping by!

Finally! Something New!

I got some new stamp sets for Christmas. My mommy gives the best gifts! One of the sets was PTI's Friends Til the End. I have coveted this set since it debuted but I have never been able to move it off the wish list. Now its mine! Coloring these flowers is so fun and relaxing. Its also time consuming. The cutting out part I could totally do without! But aside from that this set is AMAZING! Great sentiments too. The background uses another set I got for Christmas, PTI's Retro backgrounds. I stamped it on craft in Aquamist, some perly purple and deep aqua (dew drop brand). The cardbase is Aquamist. The flowers are stamped on Stampers select white and colored with Copic markers. The leaves are stamped in ripe avocado on spring moss cardstock. Thanks for stopping by! Have a Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas!

I just wanted to say Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all my internet friends. I love that you all stop by my blog and share ideas with me. Stamping and blogging has led to so many happy things in my life. Much love from my house to yours.

Teacher Gifts

Edited to Add:  I am entering those little pizza boxes in Ted's boxing day challenge.  A fun little challenge with a great prize.  Go here for all the deets.

I started off with three mini composition books.  I saw them first on Poppy Paperie (link in side bar).  The actual book was sent to me by a sweet PTI Forum member, Sueann.  I covered them in PTI bitty box paper in spring rain and sweet blush.  I stamped them with the notes stamp from PTI Take Note and the little snowflake from Holiday Treats.  I made the snowman using PTI's Made of Snow.  Its stamped on white and cut out and glued to the cover.  I ran twill through the notebook to hold the pen.

Next they all got nugget filled pizza boxes.  This particular box was made with spring rain and sweet blush card.  I stamped the interior and exterior with Polka Dot Basics.  The labels were done with Holiday Treats.  The only non PTI stamp is the lovely label frame from Waltzingmouse stamps.
If I am not back on before Christmas I wish you a happy one!  Thanks for stopping by!
