PTI Laurie's Fabulous Favorites Week 4

Win It Wednesday this week has Laurie challenging us to use our favorite Papertrey accessory. She created a fun and colorful birthday card using a coordinating button on each balloon. You can see her card here with all the details for participating. 

For my card, I combined ideas from Michelle's card for this week's IG Challenge as well as Laurie's Fabulous Favorites. Here's my birthday card.

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.

PTI Create Along With Us: November 2018

Because it was release week at Papertrey Ink, our challenge is to create something that inspired us using the Design Team creations and/or color schemes. You can find the details here. In honor of Heather Nichols bidding farewell with Papertrey Ink, I just had to incorporate Kraft card stock this month. Every time I use Kraft, I think of her because after all, she is the Queen of Kraft. Best of luck, Heather, and here's from one Minnesota-born gal to another!
