Dad it's your day!

I got busy making a few Father's Day cards this week. Perfect for Tammy's "put a cork in it" challenge over at LRW.  I was just itching for an excuse to use my new PTI lazy boy set! How cute is it?? And I thought a bit of die cut cork would add to the "manliness" of the card if you know what I mean.

Thanks for a fun challenge Tammy!

I also linked up with the Simon Says Stamp challenge blog "anything goes" theme this week.

Need a Couch Day?

...well I certainly feel like that lately...must be this crazy weather.

I made this card for a colleague at work who works way too hard. I know she will like this for her birthday. I also decided to link up with the Simon Says Stamp challenge "Anything Goes" this week.

Happy Birthday Dorothy!

Happy Birthday-- Hope your day is fabulous

I had so much fun playing with my PTI product that I made a second card for the blog hop. This time I used this inspiration "bouquet builder" palette...

I used all the ink colours except Terracotta Tile and Harvest Gold, again because I don't own them. I dug out a Christmas set, Winterberry, for the leaves, and Funky Florals and matching dies for the flowers.  The sentiment is from a Boutique Border set. I matted my floral creation with some Melon Berry cardstock.

Some hemp cord and tiny pearls finished it off.

Have a great weekend!

Sending you a Happy Birthday

I decided to play along with the PTI blog hop this month!

Here is the "bouquet" inspiration colours I worked with...

And here is my card! I used all the ink colours except Raspberry Fizz since I don't have that one. And I also used a bunch of my PTI stamp sets: Funky Florals, Heart to Heart 2, and Polka Dot Parade 2. I also used some Orange Zest cardstock and ran it through my crimper for a nice matte. Some bling and hemp cord finished it off!

Happy Saturday!

Indulge

Happy Friday! Here is another layout of Christmas in Florida. My hubby is enjoying a festive beverage in our front garden! Our pelican statue is keeping him company!

I decided to link up with Simon Says Stamp "Take a Picture" challenge. I put two polaroid frames in the top right, coming off the page, plus the little red camera die cut. It is a MFT die set I got at Simon. They are too cute!

Here are a few close ups...

The Good Life

I thought I would post another layout today! This one is Christmas in Florida. Here's my hubby enjoying the view from our lanai.

I decided to link up with the Simon Says Stamp challenge this week: "take a picture" for everything photo/camera related. I had to use my new Maya Road stamp set, that I bought from Simon BTW. It is all sorts of polaroid frames with different patterns. The one I chose is the herringbone to go with the paper at the bottom of my layout!

Remember This Moment Forever

This week the Simon Says Stamp challenge theme is "take a picture"...so anything to do with cameras, photos, film etc. I just love this trend right now.

I thought I would post a layout from our trip to Boston. I added a Studio Calico wood veneer camera to highlight how special these photos of that trip are to us.

And here are a few close ups...
