PTI 2009

I don't have any of the featured stamps from 2009, so I took inspiration from Here but didn't follow the sample exactly.

I used Star Prints from PTI along with Americana ink and Blueberry Sky.  I also used double ended banners and sketched stars dies.

PTI 2010 Beautiful Blooms II

I am trying to use the paper that I bought through the sale along with the challenges for PTI.  I used Perfect Plum with Aqua Mist and Stampin Up Tempting Turquoise for the flowers.  The leaves are from Happiness in Bloom dies.  I also used Mat Stack 4 die and collection.  Hope you enjoy.

PTI 2007

 This is from PTI Green Thumb stamp set from 2007.  I used some of the wonderful paper from PTI that was on sale last month.  I used Cocoa bean for the sentiment, Summer Sun for the flower, Olive Twist for the stem and leaves with other products from Stampin Up.  The card base is Stampers Select cardstock.

I am loving the custom built table that my husband built for my Christmas present.  This shows it almost finished.  The table top in this picture isn't attached yet.

PTI 2008

Sorry that the picture isn't very good. The sentiment is from Mixed Messages PTI 2008 release and Ink is Cocoa Bean.  Other products are from Stampin Up.

Traditional Christmas

It's that time of year again to start my Christmas cards.  I love the PTI stamps that are the more traditional story of Christmas.  I used Nativity Silhouettes stamp set for this card.  The angel and sun ray were stamped using the Colorbox gold metallic ink from the Luxe Letterpress kit.
