...PTi OcToBeR BLoG HoP...

The inspiration picture for this month's  PTI  blog hop was super fun...I have pumpkins that look a lot like those cuties in the picture.

I opted to go with the pumpkins and the felt...

I used PTI Terracotta Tile felt to make my pumpkin, Dark Chocolate for the stem (along with a few PTI buttons), and Spring Moss for the leaf...it was too bulky to put on a card, so I decided to pop it into a frame...

I used PTI Kraft, Simply Chartreuse, and Dark Chocolate paper and some dotted Simply Chartreuse ribbon.  I stamped the cute leaf from Tag-its with versamark ink onto my Kraft cardstock just to make things a little more interesting...and added the ThaNkFuL sentiment from Rustic Branches...

Thanks for looking,

enjoy the rest of the hop! :)

September 2011 Blog Hop

Welcome everyone to the September Papertrey Blog Hop!  We are so thrilled to see you here!  First, the challenge...

  

Same Challenge...and I used the same striped paper I made the first time...I even used polka dot basics again...obviously, I didn't clean off my desk in between creations :)

I added some baker's twine this time...and the sentiment is from a Tag-it's set that was just PeRfecT! The sun is made out of the Limitless layers dies and I embossed it with an ArGyLe folder...can't go wrong with a sun that's just a little preppy can you?!?  :)

Here's a better shot of my inspiration stripes and the baker's twine...

...and the envie...

Thanks for looking...hope you are having a great Sunday and enjoying all the AmAZinG BloG HoP creations!!

September 2011 Blog Hop

Welcome everyone to the September Papertrey Blog Hop!  We are so thrilled to see you here!  First, the challenge...

   

Here is my version of this month's challenge...

I made a patterned paper for the background with strips of Raspberry Fizz, Pure Poppy, Summer Sunrise, Orange Zest, Hawaiian Shores, and Smokey Shadow.   Those looked like the closest PTI colors to me. :)

I used the Daydreamer set and Polka Dot basics.  I LoVe the Daydreamer set stamped in black!  Love! A few die cuts and a polka dot embossing folder and I was all done.  

Here's a close up of my striped paper...I have a big piece left...I think I may have to go try again! :)

Thanks for looking and have a wonderful Sunday!

I concentrated more on just the quilt this time...I like this one better...even though there's more orange (my least favorite color)

Here's a close up of the butterfly...I die cut 4 and pieced them together to make him more dimensional...

We have another amazing inspirational photo for you this month that we just know will bring out the very best in your creativity!  Look closely and there are so many directions to go in!  you can choose to focus on the colors, the motifs or the overall design!  We look forward to seeing your projects!

I love this picture...The mix of pillows is amazing...the window seat is swoon-worthy...and that quilt is just awesome!!

I used the pillows as inspiration...the butterflies, stripes, and rose print are all in there.

I used an embossing folder on the butterfly and centered it to make the design symmetrical.  I used a copic to color the twine a color that matched a lot better...the stripes are actually kraft colored IRL...not green :)
