"Papertrey January Blog Hop Challenge".

For this Challenge I tried to mimic one of the cookies. I used some Spellbinders Dies for my cookie base layered on  Paper Trey Ink Mellon Berry paper and Make it Market Garden Guildd Dies for my greenery and as a base for some smaller flowers. A few enamel dots and hearts from another project finished my paper cookie.  The love is from PTI Wet Paint III.  

Masked Hearts Wreath

The Challenge from Melissa at PTI is Masked Heart Wreaths.  I have not done this much stamping for a long time and it was fun.  I used the Make It Market Garden Guild Kit the Wet Paint III set for the sentiment. You can see Melissa's video HERE.

Double D Black and White

Today is the second post of our DD Anniversary Month and we have a great Mood Board for you. 

The graphics of the pillows looked fun as did the butterflies and I love butterflies, but I decided to go with the black and white kitties. We have had both as pets over the years and this is a card for my daughter who likes things clean and simple so I made this swing card for her.  The Kitties and the Birthday Wishes are from Impression Obsession and the paper is a freebie from Gina K. A Martha Stewart punch is on the side . 

Thanks for all of you who took the time to comment on my Anniversary Blog Post.  Your sweet remarks are always appreciated. I did a random drawing and the

Tulip Time

I have not entered a challenge for a long time but I got these tulip stamps and dies from PTI a few weeks ago. Of course, when you get a new toy you have to play so I made tulips in almost every shade of the rainbow and tucked them in a storage bag. I had some design team challenges where I used the Sue Wilson Just a Note and some greenery left over from my card class so when I looked at the samples of the PTI challenge I realized that what I had on hand would fit the challenge. The only thing I had to do to make the card was cut some frames. The background paper in from one of the PTI paper packs in Harvest gold. I will enter this in the  PTI Make it Monday A-la-Carte challenge.

I chose Background Building With Frames with Amy Sheffer. 

Dies R Us Winter Blues

A new challenge called Winter Blues begins today at Dies R Us Challenge Blog.  For this challenge, I decided to make a shaker card using some pretty blue glitter paper. I sponged a background using distress inks and masking a circle to create the moon. The  Poppy Stamps House in the Woods was cut  from white card stock. I colored the window and door and placed some acetate behind it and added  a little homemade flower soft for the shaker part. I wish now that I would have added a few sequins. I cut some IO  snow flakes from the same blue glitter paper and added them to the front of the of the raised panel.

Look at this gorgeous Mood Board. I combined two of the pictures  from the board, the peach from the beautiful rose and the cake.  

                                              

I decided I must have a glue fetish because I am always picking project where I glue lots of little pieces together.I used Sue Wilson's Sue Wilson Background die.  for the background, The cake is an Impression Obsession Wedding Cake die. I added some flowers from Wild Iris and some Tim Holtz dies and Frantic stamper ferns are behind the flowers.

Dies R Us Anything Goes

A new year and a new challenge over at DIES R US. This is an easy one because it is Anything Goes using a die. I have fallen in love with two products this year, prills and gilding flakes. 

I started this card with Impression Obsessions Snowflake Background cut from  white heavy card stock. I backed it with some adhesive paper and then used some gilding flakes to fill in the background. So easy and so much fun. 

Here are the dies I used from the  DIES R US STORE.
