Happy Birthday Waltzing Mouse

Waltzing Mouse Stamps is turning two! And hosting a birthday tea party! I stepped out of my norm and created something very girly from the tea bag baggie template.

This is for my niece, who is just turning 8 and will be baptized next week. Luckily I was able to get a photo yesterday afternoon, because today we have snow on the ground. I can't wait until spring is really here!


WMS sets: Rescue Remedies, Musical Backgrounds, Midnight Feast and Free Spirit Boy Additions.

Paper: PTI kraft; SU: Almost Amythest, Mellow Moss and Very Vanilla.
Ink: PTI Fresh Snow, SU: So Saffron, Mellow Moss and Elegant Eggplant
Flower cut from my Silhouette and inked with so saffron, SU brad in center.

PTI Make it Monday #3

This week's Make it Monday challenge from PTI is to use score tape and glitter. Glitter is so rarely used in this house! Luckily a friend's little girl is celebrating her birthday this week! I pulled out my PTI Cupcake Collection and Polka Dot Basics. I am trying to go through my stash of old SU! colors, so I used some Rose Red and Regal Rose paper and ink. It's certainly pink and girly!

WMS Sketch Challenge #35

It was so much fun creating a shaped card this go-around! I pulled out my WMS Free Spirit Boy and Additions and the silver embossing powder. My base paper is a metallic silver, just kind of hard to tell. Unfortunately, buttons were deemed un-manley by my 5 year old, so I used staples and just a bit of ribbon to tie it all together!

Wish Big

Today's challenge on PTI: incorporate something BIG!

I pulled together one of my favorite color combos, Aqua Mist, Orange Zest and a SU color, Close to Cocoa.
Using BB Retro I stamped a funky orange semi-plaid on white cardstock and cut my accent strip and punched my star. Added a fun sentiment from Star Prints, and a wee Aqua Mist Button. I just measured around my punched star 1/2 " on all sides and free handed a bigger one. Crumpled it up to create some dimension.

PTI Buttons

Today's challenge: create a project with buttons.

I have been slowly recovering our sofa pillows. Today's challenge at PTI was to use buttons, so I did... a lot of them.  These are PTI's Pure Poppy vintage buttons. There are so many shapes, sizes and styles. It was fun to put a pop of color and texture on this pillow cover! 

PTI Color Challenge 2

Here's another color challenge card. I am trying to keep things CAS, but not boring. I hope the dark chocolate stitching added a little dimension! The color collection for this card was melon berry, terracotta tile, kraft and dark chocolate. I used the Cupcake Collection candles and sentiment.

PTI Color Challenge

Here's a card I created for today's color challenge at PTI. Color combo used was pure poppy, spring rain, kraft and vintage cream. I used my neglected Star Prints set to make my 10 year old son a non-girly valentine. Added a little twine and a spring rain button to my star stamped in pure poppy on vintage cream paper. I drew the red frame with a marker.
