Pick a number: 5
Move the picker 5 times and the color over my left thumb is my first color SIMPLY CHARTRUSE
Flip 11 times - November
open flap on the left to get the next two colors SPRING RAIN - BLUEBERRY SKY
These aren't colors that I would have picked... kind if too monochromatic for me, but I really like how it came out.
I used the PTI Enjoy frame die cut, and Beautiful Blooms stamp set and dies.
Today's challenge was to grab all our supplies within 5 minutes. Well, if I'm going to do that, I have to know exactly what I'm going to create and use familiar tried and true supplies.
I grabbed my go-to PTI Star Prints stamps, Think Big birthday stamps, and one of my favorite BG 6x6 paper pads...
And this is what I created
I timed myself and it took me 15 minutes to finish this card, but to my defense I didn't stop the timer when the Girl Scout came to the door.
So in 15 minutes, I have a fun birthday card and two boxes of Thin Mints :oD
This PTI Birthday challenge is to gain inspiration from clothing. All of my clothes are pretty boring... Mostly solids, so I went cruising online and found this dress from Banana Republic.
And here is my card
I used the Happiness in Bloom stamp set, the Wonderful Word Thank- you die, and PTI card stock.
The theme this week was ombré valentines. I was thinking of doing a guy version, but since I didn't have a Love die, I went with HAPPY. Since I went with HAPPY, it evolved into a happy birthday card. I used watercolor crayons since I don't have gelatos, but I like how it came out.
And we got the whole family together to celebrate.
The birthday girl...
And the birthday boy...
Happy birthday to Cheryl and Jim!
Note: Buca order for 11: large antipasto salad, large pizza, large spaghetti, large eggplant and small sausge rigatoni. Next time don't get the rigatoni and substitute another large pizza.
I'm getting my crafty in gear again this year, and I'm starting with the PTI blog hop. This month the theme is to take inspiration from this collage by Rex Ray:
