My oldest daughter turns 16 today. I cannot believe it. Where has the time gone. I made her a card using all shades of pink and purple--her favorite colors--and a bit of glitter, too. What girl doesn't like glitter, right? The driving age here in California is 16, and I am so very happy that she is not interested in driving at this point. I must be providing good enough taxi service, and I'd like to keep it that way for at least another year.
Here is a peek at the inside of the card. I used one of the PTI Movers and Shakers Poppers die from over a year ago...for the first time. I think I'll use this die again. Once I found the tutorial, it was actually quite easy to use and set up.
I have a little mini card and matching envelope for this week's Lawnscaping Challenge No. 67. I just got the WR Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board, and I love it so much. It is really quick and easy to use, and makes just the cutest little envelopes. It is especially good with double sided paper.
I used Critters in the Burb and Critters at the Dog Park for the mini card and MME The Sweetest Thing-Tangerine paper.
Speaking of Critters at the Dog Park, I need to run--I promised my daughter I'd take the dog to the dog park this morning.
Thanks for Visiting
It's PTI Blog Hop time. I love these blog hops. I always have so much fun making whatever it is we are assigned to make, and then hopping around to see what everyone else has done. This month, we had so many yummy color schemes to choose from. I started early, since my parents are visiting, and I knew I would not get much crafting time while they were here.
My goal was to make something using every color scheme, and to limit my flower cards to two. As of this writing, I still have one color scheme left to go, but my parents will be leaving, and so I may just be able to pop in towards the end of the day with my 6th card.
So, I'll just jump right in....
My first card uses my new Rainbow Circles dies, and was cased from this card by Nicole. I got my order lightning quick this month, so was able to use some new goodies for the blog hop. These dies are a little tricky to work with, so I was glad I had something to copy for the first time I used them.
Edited to add that I just realized that this card fits with the theme of CAS-ual Fridays this week, so I am entering it into their CFC110 Count Me In Challenge.
Lots from Ruby Rose on this card.
Mega Gracious Vases die and flowers from The Sweet Life on this card. I was inspired to use a negative die cut for the vase from this stunning card by Amy.
The new Birthday Greetings set with the Rainbow Stripe dies.
Another PTI design team inspired card, this one using Live Love Life by Jess Witty.
That's it for me for now. Enjoy the rest of the hop. I will be checking everthing out as soon as my parents leave, and possibly making a card with the 6th color scheme.
Edited to add: I will be linking up the birthday cards on this post to Seize the Birthday and The Birthday Card Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.
