Birthday Wishes

Hi y'all!  Happy Friday!  Its my last day of vacation!  I need like two more weeks but I dont think I will be getting them! LOL!  Anyway I made this card for a very good friend of mine.  Believe it or not I met her on the internet way back in 2000 when I was pregnant with my first child.  We met on an AOL message board!  She is amazing and someone I admire greatly. 

I made this card using all PTI product.  The cardstock is Kraft.  I stamped it with my Fancy Flourish stamps in fresh snow ink.  I also inked up the sides with fresh snow.  I added the small dots with my gel pen.  The sentiment was stamped in versamark and embossed with white filagree embossing powder.  The flowers from Natural Beauties were stamped on white cardstock using hawaiian shores, aqua mist, sweet blush, hibiscus, lavendar moon, new leaf, and rose inks.  The bling is from Queen & Co.

Thanks for stopping in today!

Make It Monday

Hey there friends! Its Monday, I have no work until... well the point is I have no work! So today I got busy on the new Make It Monday over at Papertrey Ink. Details are here. Today Betsy V. showed us how to mask off sentiments. This is something I already knew but its always fun. I don't use post its- I use eclipse masking tape. I love that stuff. So worth the money. My LSS carries it in several widths.
I used Guidelines 1 and Movers and Shakers.  I masked off the border and the sentiment box.  I was going to draw lines like Betsy did but my pen did not match the ink color very well and I liked it like this.  A true one layer card with one kind of ink and paper.  CRAZY!  LOL

PTI Blog Hop Interactive Cards

Hello Friends! Sorry for two posts in one day but I had no idea I would actually get something done for the PTI blog hop!  My darling hubby picked up my package from UPS late last night and inside were the new PTI zipper dies.  This is my first go at using them and I could not tear it apart.  I like it too much.  Sorry!  Most everything on here is from PTI with the exception of the twine (May Arts) and the buttons (a friend's mom sent me her old button stash- these really are vintage buttons!)  Thanks for stopping by!
