PTI Blog Hop: January 2016

Monday, January 25, 2016

It's been ages since I have participated in a PTI Blog Hop. This was the inspirational photo for this month.

This is my take on the challenge. I pulled out two items I Have neglected: The Round Repeats stamp set and the Chevron Die.

Thanks for taking a peek.

Happy Easter Banner

       Happy March! Wow, I can't believe how fast 2013 is going. Before you know it, Easter will be here. I decorate my house for most holidays. Today, I put up my little Easter village,  displayed my  Easter bunnies and decorated the outside tree with eggs. If you follow my blog, you know I love to make banners. Yesterday I finnaly finished this banner that I had been working on most of the week.

 I used my cutting machine for the egg shapes and letters Here are some close up shots.

It was so nice to have a variety of PTI pattern papers and dies to add some eye candy to the eggs.

Thanks for stopping by to take a peek.

MIM # 99 Take 2

I just love the theme of this week's MIM: Repeats and Rainbows.  Here is the 2nd card I submitted for the challenge. I chose color scheme # 3 because I wanted it to be more masculine.

 Here's a close up shot of the Thank you & chevrons where I continued the rainbow.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy Haunting!

  I think this is one of the first months that I have actually used 80% of the goodies I recently ordered from PTI before the next release. (It does help being retired.) I'm just loving that little guy from Happy Haunting! This is another entry for Nichole's Mr. Bones Halloween Spook Out.

 Finally got the opportunity to use those Halloween star brads I bought ages ago! Thanks for stopping by.

EEK!

 This is my 3rd submission for Nicole's Mr. Bones Halloween Spook Out. I've been entertaining the idea of creating a spider using black felt cut from one of the limitless layer oval die. I used the chevron die to make the legs using True Black card stock.  Isn't he cute?

. I attached a vellum spider web against a white panel impressed with the Striped Embossing Plate to create this card. Because I didn't want to have the spider take up the entire card, the base is 4 1/2 by 6 1/4".
