Sympathy PTI Style

Okay, the make it Monday challenge was to make a sympathy card. (It was really to make a sympathy card with a splash of bright colors. I did do that, but the camera battery is out, so this one I made before that will have to do LOL)
I really liked how this one turned out. I used some basic grey pattern paper for a background. Can you even believe that this was from a Christmas paper pack? I love when you can use paper for any season. The sentiment is from with sympathy stamped on a mat stack #5 die cut. Love this die. I spounged all of it with the tea die ink and then used the chocolate satin ribbon from PTI to put this all together.

It's a good life!

PTI Blog HOP Baby!!!!

It has been too long (okay only a month LOL). The challenge this month was to use flowers on cards. Here is my beauty.

I know, tons of fun! I adore Dawn's color couture and I haven't used these nearly enough. Time during the week is short for me, so these make it easy to put things together quickly. I added some bling to keep it fun.

It's a good life!

CAS Congrats

CASual Fridays! Well, I am loving this new blog. I rarely have time to play with challenges any more, but I have been eyeing this blog for the longest time. I also had this CAS idea in my head for a while.

Here is the card
Isn't this fun? The challenge was bring on the bling and I have had these glittery letters for the longest time. Isn't this wonderful! I have the perfect grad who will be getting this beauty soon.

It's a good life!

Pattern Paper

At times I strugle with pattern paper sometimes. I love it so much (as evidence of my HUGE stack in my room), but I don't always know how or think of how to incorporate it. Lately I have been noticing that people are using to to cover the fronts of their cards completely.

Here is my card
Although I didn't cover it completely, I did use a lot. I also thought it would be a fun boys card since they are harder for me to make. Hope you like it.

It's a good life!

Soooo behind!

To say it has been busy around here is an understatement. We had a death in the family and then went on our whirlwind family trip. This is just what I need right now!!!!

It's a good life!
