Papertrey Peeps Challenge #2

This week's Peeps Challenge was submitted by Aimes. We were to select one of the products from Dorsey Cereals to use as inspiration for whatever we wanted to create. HERE is a link for more information.

These all looked yummy and I love granola. Just reading all the ingredients would make you hungry! Anyway, I chose Marmalade Granola but borrowed a little inspiration from the Honey (think bees!) Granola too! I thought a bright, cheery color would be perfect--kind to celebrate that we had sun today even though a new storm is expected! I had little bee charm that I wanted to use so my sentiments came from Honey Bees, a set by PTI.


Supplies:
Stamps: Beyond Basic Borders, Honey Bees (both PTI)
Cardstock: Orange Zest, Dark Chocolate, Summer Sunrise, Soft Stone (PTI)
Additional: Autumn Harvest Jewels (Paper Co. Studio), Bee charm
Hope you enjoyed our creations! There will be a new challenge tomorrow so check the Peeps blog so you can participate! Thanks for stopping by!!

Compose A Card Challenge: Week 5

Hi all, happy Friday! And welcome to another of Becky Oehler's Compose a Card Challenges. How about some polka dots in happy red and white. Here's a link to Becky's post so you can see what everyone else has created.

Here's the Recipe

And here's the inspiration

My Interpretation!

I loved playing with these colors and one of my favorite PTI stamp sets. The heart chain (my new EK Success punch) worked perfectly to remind me of the rickrack. And the apples are picked from the canister above the cupboard. The molding made me think of adding some score lines for dimension.

Supplies:

Stamps: Vintage Picnic, Communique Sentiments, Polka Dot Basics (all PTI)

Cardstock: PTI

Patterned Paper: Bitty Dots Basics (PTI)

Extras: Vintage Buttons (PTI), Copics, Memento Ink, EK Success punch

So much to see this week. PTI's monthly Blog Hop was yesterday and Waltzingmouse Stamps is doing peeks of Claire's new sets. If you haven't already, you might want to visit. Enjoy your day and have a great weekend!

PTI Blog Hop: Design Team Appreciation Day!!

Welcome everyone! This month's Blog Hop is to take an idea from a design done by one of the PTI Design Team and create something with our own spin on it. Wow, there are so many talented designers and fantastic samples that picking any one thing is no easy task! There are many reasons PTI is such a fabulous company but Nicole and the other design team members are way up at the top! Talk about inspiration--Wow! Just seeing their amazing creations is often what makes me decide I must have a certain set! Love all their different styles and informative blogs. Hopefully they all know how much we all love them and appreciate their hard work!!

One of my very favorite sets is On the Couch (and Additions) by Lisa Johnson. I love all of Lisa's designs but this one is pure FUN! I picked an image from one of her posts she did during the release. I had remembered how clever I thought it was but I just had never done my own card yet. What a perfect time to play. Here is the link to her original card! And here is my version:

Supplies:

Stamps: On the Couch & Additions, Communique Sentiments (PTI)

Have fun checking out all the all the other blogs. I am really anxious to see what everyone did!

Happy Blogging,

Compose A Card Challenge: Week 4

Hi everyone! I have been on a short break and haven't posted for a few days. I LOVE Becky's weekly challenges so this is a good place to start. Great colors to work with and another fun new card size.
Here's a link to Becky's blog if you want to play along--or just watch her video and listen to the music!

I used all PTI supplies except for the ribbon and sun. Stamp sets are Scattered Showers and Sign Language. See recipe above for colors.

Hope your week is going well! I am off to check some blogs!

Later,

Sharron

PTI Asian Fusion Challenge: Origami!

Wow, what a fun challenge! I love to make origami boxes. There are so many great patterns and they work perfectly for small gifts and table favors. I think the most fun is picking out the papers. This triangle box can be done with only one pattterned paper, or two or three! This one is done with three and both the top and bottom match. Here is a link to Nicole's challenge if you want to give it a try! You will love Melissa's new stamp set being introduced this month.

Yikes!! We have plans for the weekend and I absolutely have to get this house cleaned instead of doing challenges!!

Smiles,
Sharron

Compose A Card Challenge: Week 3

I am loving Betsy's Compose a Card challenges. They really help me to think outside the box. This week the card is much bigger than my usual and uses unconventional colors (at least for me). We are going to be gone this weekend so I knew I better get my entry done tonight. I didn't have any Terracota Tile cardstock so this is the closest I could find. I have no idea the source, probably Bazzill. The other cardstock is PTI and is in the challenge colors. I used the leaves from Beautiful Blooms and the focal image is from Autumn Abundance colored with Copics. Sentiment is from Communique Sentiments (all stamps from PTI). I used an EK Success border punch, Spellbinders Labels 1 and some Dew Drops. The leaves were stamped in New Leaf and embossed with clear embossing powder. I did add some widely spaced score marks to emulate the wall in the inspiration photo.

I don't know if I will be able to check messages until Sunday night so I probably won't get any comments posted.

Have a fabulous weekend.
Smiles, Sharron
