Perfect Match Monday

Its Perfect Match Monday over at Sara's place.  Today she has given us the color palette of dark chocolate, lemon tart, spring moss, and melon berry.  I loved this palette instantly!   I used the PTI sets borders and corners circles and Birds of a Feather.  The black sentiment is my own writing.  The big button is pti's melon berry vintage buttons and the little guys are from Making Memories Chloe's closet.  If you want to play along just click on the link in my side bar --->

Perfect Match Monday (And Why You Might Not Hear From Me for a Few Days)

Bottom Card:  Stamps PTI Borders and Corners Circles, Birthday basics.  Hero ARts: hello birdy.  PTI raspberry fizz cs, aqua mist cs, unknown flower and gem

Sara has issued another perfect match monday challenge. If you want to play click on the link in my sidebar. This weeks challenge is Raspberry Fizz. I love the Fizz but not all alone and truthfully I really am not fond of the dp.  I kinda cheated here because I made both these cards a couple of months ago. I don't think I have ever posted them on the blog-o but if I am wrong, I apologize now. I haven't had time to make anything new and really I am shocked to be on the computer at all. Why you ask? A friend sent my Twilight for my birthday. I read it in one gulp (start to finish with a hour or so break to eat and put my kids in bed). Then I ran right out and bought the remaining three books. I finished number two today. So thats two huge books in 2.5 days. (My kids are in school and I am on spring break...lots of reading time). Tomorrow I imagine I will be reading book 3. They are so good!!! I totally rolled my eyes when everyone else was raving but now... now... sadly this 36 year old mother of two is a little Edward crazy. Is it wrong that I dont love Bella? Well I like Bella ok but I {puffy heart love} Edward. sigh.... why cant all men be hot, perfect, sparkly vampires?

Perfect Match Monday

Its Monday! Time for Sara's Perfect Match Monday! Today's color choices were black, hibiscus, summer sunrise, and new leaf. I used my newest PTI set, Wishing. This set is so springy and fun. I love all the sentiments, even though this card is sentiment free. The dp is PTI as is all the ink. I made the pink bubble border with the new EK success line of border punches. Those punches are so much smaller than the fiskars. Awesome way to save some space, and as we all saw here... I need all the help I can get. If you would like to play, hop on over to Sara's blog. Link is that way ------>

Sara's Perfect Match Mondays!

Happy Monday!  This card was made for Sara's Perfect Match color challenge.  If you want to play just follow the link in the sidebar ---->  I used PTI's anniversary set, Everyday classics combined with Around and About (the long sentiment).  Colors used were: Summer Sunrise, Pure Poppy, New Leaf, and Hibiscus.   I should put up my hideous first card.  I tried using all those colors with guidelines 2.  Oh it was so bad!  I think I am still partially blinded by it!  Enjoy the rest of your day.

PS.  I had a few inquiries regarding if I am still spinning (bike class).  The answer is yes.  I am being tortured at least 3x a week... plus a day or two on the weights and elliptical machine.  blah!

Perfect Match Monday

Today the challenge over at Sara's place is spring rain, new leaf, raspberry fizz, and plum pudding. I have to say I groaned when I first read the list. Spring rain is probably my least favorite PTI color and I hate Raspberry fizz with new leaf. But I finally came up with something I think looks pretty good. Bright colors in small doses! Hope you like it!

Perfect Match Monday

It's Perfect Match Monday! Today's perfect match colors are spring rain, aqua mist, and true black. I loved this challenge because I had yet to open my true black paper. Its as perfect as you would expect from PTI. Thick, smooth, and a nice deep black. I like these blues with the black. I used my aqua mist dotted pattern paper. The stamps are from With Sympathy and Out of the box.

Sara's Perfect Match Mondays!

Today's color challenge is using PTI's greens,  New Leaf, Spring Moss, and Ripe Avocado.  I must say while I love spring moss and ripe avocado together, and I like new leaf and spring moss, I despise ripe avocado with new leaf!  That made this challenge to use all three extra difficult.
Here are the deets:

Stamps:  PTI Around and About, Hero Arts Hello Birdie

Ink:  PTI: spring moss, ripe avocado, new leaf

Ribbon: PTI twill: spring moss, ripe avocado, new leaf

Other:  dewdrops, waterlily

Perfect Match Monday

The lovely Sara is hosting a fun new challenge called Perfect Match Monday. You can see the cute little badge over in my sidebar. This week's colors are Spring Moss, Sweet Blush, and Lavendar Moon. Here is a little gift I made for a friends baby not so long ago. This is kind of cheat because I made it before the challenge was posted but I wanted to post and give Sara a plug. So hop over and check out her challenges!
