PTI Oldies but Goodies

Hello and happy Saturday.  I'm kicking off the weekend by posting some cards I've been working on, inspired by all the anniversary festivities at PTI as well as some other challenges.

First up is this card, inspired by the DT samples using a PTI set introduced in 2007, Beautiful Blooms.  I am entering this card at the PTI 2007 Anniversary, Addicted to Stamps and More #229: Clean and Simple, and Simon Says Monday: Use Your Favorite Tool.  I used an impression plate to add texture, one of my favorite things to do.

Moving on to 2008, I used Garden of Life for this PTI Challenge.  My card design was inspired by Tracey's card at Muse #203, and I am also entering this card at Simon Says Wednesday: Fantastic Florals, and Retro Rubber #56:They Say It's Your Birthday.

Tracey's inspiration card for Muse #203

I was inspired to pull out On My Couch for PTI 2009 Challenge.  I used colors from Color Throwdown #430.

Last of all, I am up to 2010, where I pulled out Take Three Summer for the PTI Anniversary challenge.  I was inspired by the sketch at CAS Colours and Sketches #210, and am also entering at Addicted to CAS #105:  Wood.

That's all for me today.  I am hoping to get caught up on all the PTI challenges by tomorrow and I will post again if I can do it.

The Rest of My Weekend

Sitting with my daughter some more today while she was studying for finals--I made lots more cards for some of my favorite challenges.  Lest you think I am a monster, I should explain that she has ADD, and needs me to help her stay on task.  She is shooting for straight A's, and when you see how much I made today, you will agree that it is very possible.

First up is a card for this week's Simon Says Stamp and Show where the challenge is Into the Woods.  I used the sketch from this week's CAS(E) this Sketch CTS#30 and am also entering this card at A Blog Named Hero #25:  It's a Man's Man's Man's World. Can you see the woodgrain Impression plate on my card base?

Next up is a card for this week's CAS-ual Fridays CFC103:  Congratulations, using the colors from this week's Color Throwdown CTD244. I used Ranger White Enamel Accents on the fillings, like I saw Donna do here. 

I used the sketch at this week's Retro Sketches rs#66 to make a card for Maddy, a courageous young girl battling cancer.  Please click here to learn more about how you can participate in this card drive, too.  This will be the third card I have sent to this young woman--she has endured more than anyone should.  I used my brand new Garden of Life stamps for this card.  There are so many pretty flowers in this set.

I made another card using Garden of Life, this time following the sketch at Freshly Made Sketches FMS88. 

 
Last up for me today is a card for this week's Monday Mood Board #13 at WPlus9 and also for CAS-ual Fridays CFC103:  Congratulations.  I used Quilt Prints--I think that is my favorite WPlus9 set so far.  I messed up my pattern a little somewhere (I won't say where), so I stamped a few extra red and blue pieces to randomly glue down with dimensionals and then coat with glossy accents. 

That about wraps up my weekend.
