'Tis The Season...PTI Blog Hop 30

Hi there! Hope you are having a great weekend! Today I'm joining along with the October Papertrey Ink Blog Hop. This month's hop theme is to pick one of the non-traditional color schemes offered and create a holiday project. I opted for a bright non-traditonal color scheme for me:

and I made a VERY clean and simple card using a combination of PTI stamps:

I just love that layered Christmas tree ~ I think it has such a country charm :)

For sketch inspiration, I joined along with the current Freshly Made Sketches sketch challenge:

Merry and Bright... 25

Hi there! I'm so happy the weekend is here! Today I have a few cards to share featuring a variety of Pion Design papers. First up are two similar Christmas cards: one red and one blue, both made using various pretty patterned papers from the Siri's Kitchen 6x6 collection. Don't be fooled by the name! Many of the papers within this collection are quite versatile. 

 I combined 3 different patterned papers along with a stamped angel and sentiment:

 Here she is in blue:

Last but not least is a card featuring a sweet image along with a combination of other pretty papers from the newly released My Beloved Son collection:

Trust Yourself 20

Hi there! I hope you are having a great week! Today I have a layout to share featuring Pion Design's newly released ~ the gorgeous My Beloved Son collection:

I scrapped a photo of my beloved son Jerry who has been working towards his private pilot license. This photo was taken in the cockpit before they took off for a flight lesson :)

I layered various patterned papers all from the My Beloved Son collection to create the background and mat the photo:

I layered the fun tag on other die cut tags, stitched around the perimeter, embellished with several fussy cut butterflies along with a sentiment:

I embellished with a trio of homemade flowers and fussy cut printed flowers all made using papers from the My Beloved Son collection as well:

Dream everyday...Guest Designing 22

Hi there! Today I have the honor of being a guest designer for the talented Kasia Krzyminska on her blog. I am sharing a layout featuring one of the many beautiful stencils that she has designed: The Trapezoid Flower:

I scrapped a photo of sweet Meredith that was taken more than 14 years ago. Time sure does fly! I created lots of texture using  The Trapezoid Flower stencil along with molding paste:

Once the molding paste was dry, I added color using various paints and inks. I added a bit more detail using fun stamps from Kasia's Stamp Set 3:

I embellished with die cuts, flowers from my stash and a resin birdcage:

The title is a combination of a chipboard piece from my stash and a stamp from Kasia's Stamp Set 3:

For sketch inspiration, I joined along with the current Stuck?! sketch challenge:
