PTI MIM #348: Lotsa Letters

This week's Papertrey Ink's Make It Monday is hosted by the very talented Michelle Leone with her vibrant "Fiesta" card using a fun rainbow of letters. 

Decided to try my hand at this technique and will definitely keep it in mind for future cards. Rather than use a rainbow of letters, I ink blended the bottoms of mine for an ombré effect. Here's my entry for this week's challenge.

Papertrey Ink January Blog Hop Challenge

Well, it’s the 25th of January and first of the new year Blog Hop Challenge at Papertrey Ink. I’ve definitely lost what little mojo I had after pushing myself to get Christmas cards done and mailed before the very last minute.

Hurried to make a card to participate in the challenge and came up with this festive birthday card inspired by the baby shower cake above.

PTI MIM #347: Winter Watercolor

Happy New Year! This is my first post and first card of the new year today. Just trying to get my mojo started by participating in this week's Papertrey Ink Make It Monday. I'm flying by the seat of my pants here because Ashley shared her process in designing a winter scene using watercolors. Oh, how I wish I owned Enchanted Forest, and I will one of these days!

Have a few thank you notes due after the Christmas holidays so here's what I created using my old-time favorite set, In The Meadow.
