Birthday Circles

Hello Friends! I've got a birthday card for you today.  I made the background with polka dot basics and simple circles from PTI.  Hand cut banner with a sentiment from Wonderful Words (I think) also from PTI.  Colors used: Harvest Gold, Summer Sunrise, New Leaf, and Blueberry Sky.  I got the background idea from something I saw on Nichole Heady's blog awhile back.  Sorry I can't link you to the original.  I can't find it.

Gratitude!

Hi there!  I have a new card for you today.  I am kind of in love with it!

I used PTI's ad sense and circle stamps.  I have a new leaf base with ad sense die cuts.  The inks are blueberry sky and new leaf.  The white frame is drawn with a t square and gel pen.  Its that simple.

Can I talk to you a minute about gratitude?  I just have to say I am feeling so grateful today!  Why?  Because my latest Donor's Choose project just got funded- mostly by my friends and family- but also by total strangers who are trusting me with their hard earned cash.  In case you dont know Donor's choose is a non profit that matches teachers in need with donors.  You submit a project, go shopping (online) for the supplies and then you wait and hope people will pick you.  When you get funded all your supplies are shipped to your school.  You use them, take pictures, and have the kids write thank you letters.  Its simple, its amazing, and its so worth while.  I have a link to the page in my side bar.  I don't have any projects up right now but hundreds of other hard working teachers do.  Check it out if you have the chance.  You can donate as little as 5 dollars.

Ad Sense Card Collection

Hello there! Well its been a busy week here! All work and no play! Sorry for the lack of posts, I like to update regularly but sometimes I got nothing! I haven't crafted all week. I made these a few weeks ago.
This uses a newer PTI set called Ad Sense and Simple Circles. The Ad Sense is a really unique set. I love the vintage advertising look- so cute and unique.
Same basic layout on both cards. I wanted to make a little set for someone. Who? I am not sure. These are still in my possession but I will be giving them away soon. Thanks for stopping by today!

More Circles

Good Morning! I have a couple more cards for you today featuring simple circles. The first uses the circles with the new big sentiments.
The second uses the circles with the Tag its set. I think it is set 3? Sorry early in the morning and I am not feeling terribly motivated. Thanks for stopping in!

More Circles

Hi there! Happy Easter! I've got more circles for you today. I used a Hawaiian shores base and cut the arch out using the Sending You die. On the inside of the card I glued my little froggy, lily pad and sun (all from PTI boy basics frog and simple circles) Frog and lily pad got the copic treatment. I've got a simple circles die cut border, some hawaiian shores ribbon, and some American Crafts green ribbon. The sentiment is from one of the fillable frame sets. Thanks for stopping in today!

The Circle Die (yes, again!)

You are going to love this! I took PTI's new circle die, I punched out some cute pp by My Minds Eye and I cut it in half lengthwise. Which makes two awesome scallops! Check it out!
Oh yeah! Isn't that awesome??? Other stuff of note, new tag its stamp set. Melon berry card, aquamist ribbon and card. Lots of different inks, palette, colorbox, and dewdrops.

And a close up. Look at those yummy scallops! So so awesome!

Make It Monday: Frog with Circles

Well could it be a Make It Monday card that is actually posted by the deadline? I can't believe it myself. This week's challenge was to emboss with PTI dies. I just got the simple circle die in the mail yesterday! I embossed it on this lovely kraft card and then stamped the circles with a coordinating Simple circle stamp set. I die cut an arch with some hawaiian shores cardstock and also die cut the frog and lily pad. The frog and lily pad got the copic treatment. The sentiment is from Sending You. All supplies are PTI except for the buttons, those are from Doodlebug.
