 Hello everyone... long time no blog, hey?  It's good to be back!

Today I've got a card for this week's Make it Monday challenge from Papertrey Ink.  The challenge was to color with copics on non-neutral cardstock, which is my favorite way to color with copics.  My crafting time is seriously limited and I want to make the most of it so sitting down to spend an hour coloring isn't feasible, but adding shading here and there is.

This card was made for my cousin's birthday.  She's one of my best friends and like a sister to me, we grew up down the street from each other, got into plenty of trouble and have countless childhood memories to make us laugh.  Love that girl :)

The rose, from year of flowers:roses, was stamped in smokey shadow ink on sweet blush cardstock.  Background basics:sheet music was stamped in sweet blush over it.  Then I shaded with my copics and cut it out.  It doesn't show up very well in the picture but I used a sakura glitter pen to trace the rose outline, it's so seriously gorgeous in real life.

This bookmark was another part of her b-day gift.   Since I gave her a book, she had to have an accompanying bookmark, right?

Well that's all I've got for today, thanks for stopping by!

PTI anniversary tags no.6

Whew, I've never posted 6 times in a week, much less 6 times in a day!

Here's the last one, but it is, by far, my favorite!  I seriously heart this adorable image from Melissa Bickford.

It's colored with copics and layered on a limitless layers 1 3/4" circle, a labels 1 nestie, and mat stack 5.  Finished off with a couple buttons and some ribbon.  Seriously, L.O.V.E.

Thanks for stopping by!

PTI anniversary tags no.5

Love this cute image from Lisa Johnson!  I was so excited to see that this sentiment (from fillable frames #11 I think) fit in just right when I curved it on the block

Also used a limitless layers 1 3/4" circle, double ended banners die and background basics hearts.

Thanks for stopping by

PTI anniversary tags no.4

Told you my mojo was workin today, here's project #4 for the day.  Been a loooooong time since I've been able to create like that. 

This image is from Dawn McVey.  Again, the colors got totally screwed up with my crummy printer.  It's supposed to be orange and it looks more like kraft.  Oh well, you gotta roll with the punches, right?!

The sentiment is from one of the FF series... number 9 maybe?  I'll have to go check.  Ric rac border die, tage sale #3 die, beautiful blooms die and a scallop circle punch.

Thanks for stopping by!

PTI anniversary tags no.3

It's been so great for me to get back in the scraproom for a while and actually have some mojo, yey!  :)

This card uses the tag image created by Heather Nicholls.

You might notice that my colors are completely wrong...  I didn't change them, that's just how awful my printer is.  It just looked more like lavender moon than melon berry so I went with it.

The bkg is stamped with turning a new leaf in versamark.  Dies used are Mat stack 1 and limitless layers 1 3/4"

PTI anniversary tags no.2

I'm back with my second entry using the tags from Papertrey Ink.

This is Maile Belles image.  Can't wait to see Maile's stamp sets, I heart her style and can not wait to see what she'll do with stamps!!

This card uses a bunch of dies (limitless layers, doule ended banner and banner borders) and the numbers impression plate
