Pallenge #11 Red, White, and Blue & Stars

Over at the Papertrey Pals blog Ingrid issued a patriotic challenge. We were to use red, white, and blue along with stars. My card is a bit different than the traditional colors only because most of my supplies are in a crate on a ship somewhere between Spain and California. We packed out our household goods on the 7th of this month. Luckily, I had kept vintage picnic to work on Thanksgiving cards so I had something to work with.

Here is my card. A bit simple. You can barely see it but I used the Picnic Plaid impression plate on the kraft cardstock:

Thanks for stopping by! It is my turn to issue the next challenge tomorrow.

Papertrey PALS- Challenge #2 a "ValenPallenge"

Liz D. issued a challenge to the Papertrey Pals to create a Valentine project with stitching of some kind. Well, I had already made all of my Valentine's Day cards so I decided to make my parents anniversary card. Close enough to a Valentine, I think. I LOVE my little Janome Sew Mini. I have no sewing skills whatsoever but this little machine is so easy to use it makes me look like I know what I am doing.

Hope everyone is having a great Valentine weekend! I can't believe the Papertrey anniversary is almost over. My order list is WAY too long! I'll be up at 6am to place my order (midnight Papertrey time).

Supplies:
Stamps- Seasons of Love (Waltzingmouse), Fancy Flourishes, Damask Designs (PTI)
Paper- Rustic white, dark chocolate, ocean tides, melon berry (PTI)
Ink- dark chocolate, ocean tides (PTI), versamark
Misc- ocean tides button, twine, sewing machine, apron lace border punch

Papertrey PALS- Challenge #1

We were issued our first challenge by Ted last week to incorporate P A L into our project in a creative way. Well, I've never claimed to be the most creative person so I took the simple route to incorporating PAL: P - pure Poppy, A- ripe Avocado, and L- Lemon tart. I haven't had much time to be crafty lately. I've been finishing up my dissertation. I finally submitted it to my chair this weekend! So, until I hear back from her about edits or revisions I have free, no guilt craft time on my hands. I've been wanting to get Through the Trees inky so that is what I used. Now my plate is clear to join in on ALL of the Papertrey anniversary challenges. Have a great Monday everyone!

 

Supplies:

Stamps- Through the Trees (PTI)
