Inspired by Maile



I'm back with another card for day 2 of PTI's anniversary festivities.  Click here to learn more and join the party.  Now, as a mom, I know it's not nice to pick favorites. But, I must confess that if someone told me that I could only visit one PTI designer's blog ever, that designer would be Maile Belles.  I admire everything about her style, and I would say her clean and simple stamping style has had the greatest impact on my own style.  I've only been at this card-making gig for about a year and a half, and I feel like Maile has taught me almost everything I know.



Thanks for Visiting

  8. Oh Joyce, I love the funkiness of this card!! I love that you used the chevrons on the oval die, too. And how closely you stamped (and perfectly you stamped) the chevrons together. Maile would be proud :)

  11. Love those chevrons...
    so perfect for this!
    And another in agreement about Maile...
    but I usually avoid trying to mimic her in any way...
    too intimidating!
    Fabby card! :)
