PTI Building Blocks Day 9 Card 2

This is how the die rolled this second time:

1. hawaiian shore

2. Berry sorbet

3.New Leaf

4.kraft

5. congrats

6. watercolor

7. glitter

8.baker's twine

and the sketch is number 2

 

I do not do well with watercolor...and can you believe I do not have a congrats die? 

 how did that happen?

so I embossed with aqua zing to make it pop a bit...

 

stamp:  Bigger Bloom

 

Not my favorite, but then I don't do well with an "artsy" look!

 

Heart Hugs,

Colleen

 



PTI Anniversary Day 9 ~ Building Blocks

Oh what fun today at the PTI Anniversary Challenges.  Each team member has six numbered selections for a specific *Building Block* category.  Roll a die or use a random number generator to select which item number you will need to work with from their list.  This is what I rolled:
1.dark chocolate
2. raspberry fizz
3.summer sunrise
4. fine linen
5. Just Because
6.generation stamping
7.adhesive pearls
8.embroidery floss

I used Bigger Blooms and did some generation stamping, which means you stamp once, then stamp again to get a bit lighter shade.  My sentiment was heat embossed on dark chocolate, even though it looks black in the picture!  I think I am going to roll the die again and see what I can come up with!
Thanks for taking a look...I won't be able to participate in tomorrows activities as I am heading to San Francisco with my older daughter and my granddaughter for a big volleyball tournament in San Mateo and San Jose...it should be fun..we will have a the afternoon to roam around and see some sites! 

PTI anniversary Day 7 ~ Stripes!

Day 7 of the Anniversary Challenges is all about stripes.

I used BB Super Stripes in spring moss, winter wisteria and lavender moon.

The flowers are all from Bigger Blooms with a little wink of Stella added for some shine!

 

Can you believe this has taken me all day and into the night to make one card...

Okay I confess to taking a nap after sitting for hours

and not making one thing to show for it!

Well, I do have scraps of things to show for it...

you know all sorts of stripes that overlapped or didn't match, or left too much space in between...

you get the idea...

I managed to salvage this one, so this will be it for the night.

I think I will go watch some Olympics now.

 

the rain is back

the snow is melting

it was fun while it lasted

 

Heart hugs,

Colleen

PTI Day 6 ~ Words Card 2

Another "word" card for the 6th day of anniversary challenges.

Stamps:  Birthday Style, Wonderful Words:  Birthday

die:  Birthday trio, fabulous Frames

ink:  winter wisteria, spring moss, lavender moon

 

I die cut the birthday using some masking paper, I laid it down first.

then I started stamping the balloons all over the word, above and below it. 

When I was done with all the balloons, I lifted up the masking and VOILA!

There is the word
birthday!

 

Happy Birthday again, PTI!!

Thanks for so many fun challenges this year!

 

Heart Hugs,

Colleen

Happy 7th Birthday PTI!!

So much fun over at the Papertrey Blog...every day there are new challenges and chances to win $$!

Today they are asking us to make a birthday card for THEM and then mailing it to the warehouse so all the employees that package up our stamps and dies can see how much we appreciate all their hard work and diligence in getting the shipments out promptly, right??

 

so this is a BIG thank you and a bigger HAPPY 7TH BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Heart Hugs,
Colleen



HAPPY BIRTHDAY PTI!!

I am one of those not so clever people with computers, I know there is a way to have your pictures all on one post, but have them separately be posted...well that isn't going to happen, so here I am with the card I made for PTI!

 

thanks for taking a look!

have a great Sunday!

Did I tell you we had freezing rain late yesterday on top of all our snow?

Well, you can imagine everything was glistening and shiny and treacherous ..even our Pastor cancelled two of the daily masses and told us to make our own decision if we can make it or not.

Well, since I live on a hill, it would not be great to go out and end up in a ditch on the side of the road...besides, no way am I driving in anything like that!

Sure is fun to see it through the windows of the house!

 last night ....you can almost see the glistening snow...and there is a

deep pond right there, but it is totally filled with ice and snow!

this is the "drift" I have mentioned...it follows the edge of a patio path and the grass...it is about 3 feet deep now!  and it is a sheet of ice on top...talk about treacherous.

 

Heart Hugs!

ATC # 7 4th day challenge

 I used two different washi tapes and then a sentiment from Script Sentiments

ATC continued...# 5

A sweet little ATC 3 x 4...using the Heart 2 Heart # 4

ATC Cards for PTI 4th day challenge

This card is for the PTI Trading Card Challenge.  It is 3 x 4, rounded corners this time.

I used the Autumn Pattern pieces for the bottom portion and the Heart 2 Heart balloons .

Pretty simple and easy...I discovered the Heart 2 heart stamps are good for this size card!

PTI Color & Sketch Card # 7

Phew, finally did the last card for the 1st day of sketches and color combinations.

I used Daydreamers and the sentiment is from Doodlie-do.  The inside says:  Wish Big

because those flowers remind me of "whishers"...you know when the dandelion goes to seed!

 

Off to make some more!

Heart Hugs,

Colleen

fillable frames die cut # 4,

fillable frames # 1 sentiment

 

Wow, do we ever have snow...we have drifts up to TWO feet deep!! ha ha!

PTI Anniversary Color & Sketch Card # 5

I am getting through the sketches and color combos!  Slowly but surely!!

I have an awesome granddaughter (well, I have 6 awesome grandchildren), this one

lives next door to us and she is such a great athlete we love to watch her play basketball

and of course volleyball which is her first love.  That girl can make 3 point shots like you wouldn't believe!  And one BB game there was only 4 seconds left of the game with the score tied, she stole the ball and shot from CENTER  COURT and made it for the win!!  I was thinking of her when I made this card.  And the other awesome thing is she always comes over and asks "Papa" to give her more VB lessons, or to take her to breakfast...and they go and just chat forever. 

It surely does warm my husbands heart!


stamps:  Super Stars 

PTI Anniversary Color and Sketch Card # 4

I pulled out Beautiful Blooms II and did some masking to make the circle.

Here is the sketch and color combo I followed:



PTI Anniversary Colors & Sketches ~ Card # 3

Using BB: Medallions I inked up scarlet jewel and summer sunrise,

the Pedal Pusher was done is raspberry fizz and the basket in Hawaiian Shores.

the little gift boxes in the basket is orange zest and scarlet jewel.

 



PTI Anniversary Day 1 Color & Sketch Challenge Card # 2

On day 1 of the Anniversary Activities, Nichole gave us

 7 sketches and 7 color combos.  This is card # 2 for me.

I used Reason to Smile and managed to get all the colors required!



PTI Anniversary Challenge ~ The Timer Challenge!

We have 7 minutes to gather 7 supplies and make a card in 17 minutes!

1. white paper

2. raspberry fizz ink

3. winter wisteria ink

4. aqua mist ink

5. Funky florals stamp set

6. Side by side sentiment

7. raspberry fizz card base 

I did it, just kept calm and didn't rush it!  plenty of time too!

Might have to try this more often so I don't spend all day making one card! Ha ha!

Now maybe I should apply this timing challenge to Day 1

where we have to use sketches and color combos.

Maybe I could actually get all 7 done!

 

Heart Hugs!

PTI 7th Anniversary ~ Free Download Day 2

The image is from Betsy Veldman, I added the leaves on the aqua mist paper using TANL and some flowers from Beautiful Blooms II, mounted it on orange zest paper to pick up the orange "thank you" and it is really mounted on a white card base, not sure why it looks pink!

 

Off to make another!

Thanks for stopping by!
