Papertrey Chicks Sketch Challenge

Papertrey Chicks has a sketch challenge this week! Here is the link to sketch.

I managed to used the sketch but not to make a card but as decoration on a tiny treat bag.

 

Its a tiny treat bag made using SU's scallop envelope die. 

Cardstocks: PTI's Hawaiian Shores, Stamper's Select White, Spring Moss and Orange Zest

Stamp set: PTI's Fancy Flourishes and Everyday Button

Accessories: Hawwiian Shores Button, SU's black ink pad, SU's dazzling diamonds, EK Success punch, SU's wide oval punch, and scor tape.

This is such a cute treat bag which could be made a bit wider as well. The envelope with the cards fit inside the bag too. Great for kid's make and take during birthday party. Thanks for the challenge, Suzzanne!

Have a great day!

 Hugs.

PaperTrey Chicks- Paper Piercing Challenge.

Ok, as said in the previous post, here is a card I made for Papertrey Chicks- Paper Piercing challenge. I am late but atleast I am catching up on the challenges. Here is my card.

This is a color combination I came  upon when I was trying to combine Dark Chocolate with Lemon Tart and Kraft. I wanted a color that will tie them together and stand out. Hawaiian Shores was perfect. The layout was inspired by Heather. P's card here. I have used PTI's Enjoy the ride and A little Argyle stamp sets. the pattern paper is Dawn's Dotti Biscotti. The cardstocks and the button are from PTI, Rhinestones from Kaisercraft The thread from my stash. Thanks for the challenge and also stopping by! Love all your comments. Great motivation for me!

There is sketch challenge on the Papertrey Chicks's blog. You can find the link on the left side bar. Come and play with us.

OK, there will a change of format from next post onwards. No ramblings during project shares. Just the project, the list of material used to make the project, name of the challenge, photo of the sketch/brief description of the challenge, inspired by and a note of thanks. Its going to save me heaps of time. There maybe one or two post of ramblings but not project shares on that post. I am trying to organise myself. I am hoping to get a schedule going for myself especially that school holidays are coming very soon.

Thanks for stopping by!

Two for one..

Today I have one card made for two challenges. I have used 2S4Y sketch #54 and drawn inspiration from papertrey Chick's inspiration challenge photo to make this card.

This is the sketch 

And this the inspiration photo.

I don't have anything picnicy so I used the colors as inspiration. I used PTI's distressed stripes to make the red gingham background paper and New Leaf stamp set for the green leaves on yellow paper strip in the centre. All products are from PTI except Kaisercraft's rhinestone, SU "Mr & Mrs" stamp and tiny tag punch.

Thanks for stopping by! I have migraine. Hope it will go away soon. 

Will be back tomorrow with more share

Papertrey Chicks - Emboss it

I am late for this challenge but I though I should post it as I made the card a long time ago. Its just the time to blog everything which is so difficult to find. Since we are building our house, we (my husband and me) are doing a lot of research on what product to use, visiting the suppliers, discussing the finances, agreeing and disagreeing on a things.........blah blah!!! And when kids are done with school for the day, I run a taxi service to various classes. And its dark and freezing after that....End of the day! Its like WOW!

Anyway, here is my take on the technique challenge at Papertrey Chicks. The challenge is Heat Embossing.

 

Close up of the embossing.

I love the color orange and its very cool with cream. All products used are from PTI except the orange thread. Thanks for the technique challenge, Barbra!

Got to go now. Off to see some frameless shower screens....

Celebrate today and everyday!

Papertrey Chicks Challenge #2

Morning everybody,

A beautiful Monday morning. Nice and warm after a freezing night. Sun is out shining brightly. Kids still at home as today is pupil free day. Aditi's friend had come over for a play and Siddarth is going to his friend's house for play. Thats good balance I reckon! I managed to make a card for Papertrey Chicks  Challenge #2.

Its a Design Team CASE challenge. Here is the challenge for you.

Thats Betsy Veldman's gorgeous card.Here is my take on the challenge.

Betsy's card is so pretty and I love the square panels. I have tried my best. I goofed up on the sentiment. I had already adhered the squares and then I tried to stamp the sentiment. Silly me! It did not work. I messed up and so there is a sentiment tag on its place. I like all the white and pop of colors. Great selection. 

Hope you like it.OK! I need to weed the garden and trim some of my overgrown plants. Then prepare lunch.

See you all soon.

Hugs

Papertrey Chicks Challenge week #0

Hey everybody,

I finally got my PTI goodies and found time to play with it. So I made a card for Papertrey Chicks week #0 Inspiration Challenge. Its all about Argyle. Here is the challenge for you.

I think I am late for the challenge but my goodies came just yesterday. Better late than never goes the saying so I did the challenge anyways. Here is my take.

This is a CASed card as I was mojo less.Life had taken over for past 2 days and I did not do any stamping. So my mojo decided to take a break. I wanted to do this challenge and therefore opted to case on of the DT card. This is Lisa johnson's card that I cased.Lisa's card is beautiful. I kept the layout and the argyle but changed the colors and sentiment. I generally do CASe when my mojo leaves me. CASing actually bring my mojo back. I am happy I did it. Thanks for the challenge. Can't wait for the next one.

Its 6.15pm on 30th April in Australia. 

So I will say goodnight and have a great weekend!

Hugs
