Party Time Tuesdays #27!

This week at Party Time Tuesdays the challenge is
Anything Goes! I love Anything Goes challenges because
the birthday card you create is up to you! As long as you
have a birthday greeting on the front, all of the
rest is your imagination :)

I've not been feeling well lately so my card was
made rather quickly without any bells and whistles..
just super simple.
But all the same, I'm happy with it :)
I used Cosmo Cricket "Circa 1934" and the
quote (one of my faves) is from a Fiskars birthday
sentiment stamp set.

Hope you'll join the party at PTT!

Thanks for visiting!

Party Time Tuesday - Color Challenge

It's color challenge week at Party Time Tuesdays,
and how fitting for this week, the colors are
red, green and white!

I grabbed my Crate Paper Snow Day collection and
found these sweet red and green patterned papers.
And my Secret Santa gifted me a cute new birthday
stamp set, I couldn't wait to use it!
Thanks, Santa Hope!! :)

Join us at PTT and be inspired by all the beautiful
red/green/white cards created by the DT!

Thanks for visiting,
Abby

Sketch week at Party Time Tuesdays!

This week at Party Time Tuesdays, we have a sketch
designed by our very own, Dianna! I really like it,
it can be interpreted in so many ways.

Here's my take. I turned the sketch on it's side and squared it.
All I needed was this cute party hat 3D embellie and the rest
was just some cardstock scraps and doodles! So easy! :)

We hope you'll join the challenge! Just create a birthday
card following this sketch and add a birthday sentiment
on the front. Share it with us at PTT and you could be the
winner of the monthly prize! :)

Thanks for visiting!

It's balloon week at Party Time Tuesdays!

What's a birthday party without balloons!?
This week at Party Time Tuesdays, the challenge is to
include one or more balloons on a birthday card. Such a fun
challenge and so many great DT examples,
be sure to check them out!

This week at PTT, I again used my Echo Park "Little Boy"
collection, but I think this card could be given to anyone,
not just boys :)

Why not join the party and create a birthday balloon card
of your own!? Hope you'll join us!

I was recently gifted Echo Park's "Little Boy" from my sweet

over this collection for several weeks. Super cute, huh? :)
Thanks, Theresa! xoxo

Thanks for visiting me, hope to see your card at PTT! :)

PTT #22!

Party Time Tuesdays new weekly challenge is up and it's as easy as 1-2-3! A recipe challenge for you to include 1 image, 2 designer papers and 3 different embellies on a birthday card! Unfortunately, I have been ill for the past few days (nasty flu funk) and wasn't able to create a card for this challenge :( But the PTT design team has created some beautiful examples of the challenge to inspire you to join the fun! Be sure to head over there and check it out! :)

I promise to be well again soon and join next week's PTT challenge!
Come back next Tuesday, too, and join me! :)

Party Time Tuesday!

This week at Party Time Tuesdays, the challenge is to make
an easel card. This was truly a challenge for me as I've never
tried to make one before. But my fellow DT gals shared
a really simple tutorial with me and then to my surprise,
my card came together rather quickly. It was really easy and
fun to make. I think I just might make a few more :)

And even better - I used all scraps! Woot! The flowers and
leaves are Martha Stewart clear stamps that I stamped and
cut out. Then I used a Qtip with the same color ink to shade
in the leaves a bit. Kinda looks like chalk, eh? I also printed
the sentiment from my computer, something I rarely do,
but might do more often. :)

We'd love to see your birthday easel cards! Just remember
to add a greeting on the front. There's a bunch of fabulous DT
examples to get you started! And this month, the random
winner receives a Cosmo Cricket Togetherness
Mini-Deck! Coolness. eh?!

Thanks for looking!

Party Time!

Hi friends! It's Tuesday and that means Party Time! :)

Our challenge this week at Party Time Tuesdays is to create a card with an Autumn theme which includes a leaf or a pumpkin. Don't forget to add the sentiment on the front of your card. Then share it with us at PTT!

My card was inspired by a red rubber wood stamp that I bought at Dollar Tree a few years ago. Love this leaf! I embossed, too. I really like how it turned out.

I have a few scrappy holiday collections to create with, but I'm so excited about the new holiday lines from Cosmo Cricket and Crate Paper! Have you seen them yet? omg I am drooling and can't wait to get em in my hands!

Here is Cosmo Cricket's Mitten Weather..And Crate Paper's Snow Day..

Aren't they gorgeous!? I just love how colorful and fun they are. Hopefully I'll be able to buy and have them arrive early enough to make lots of cards with them for the EDCC.

See you later! :)

It's Party Time!

Hey friends! Happy Tuesday! I've been MIA for a couple weeks.. but I'm back, ready to scrap and excited to bring you this week's Party Time Tuesdays challenge!

Have you ever made a pocket card? I hadn't before this week, I was surprised at just how fun and easy it was to make. :) I hope you'll join the party at PTT by creating a birthday pocket card and share it with us! Be sure to include a birthday sentiment on the front. The DT has made some beautiful cards, as always, be sure to check em out!

For my card, I used papers from my DCWV Rustic Stack. Love this collection! You'll notice two of the flower petals can be pulled out of a hidden pocket to reveal a sweet message.

I've been so busy the past couple weeks, it feels great to scrap again! I have plans for a few layouts in the coming weeks.. And starting August 1st, I'm hosting a "Christmas in August" Every Day Card Challenge (EDCC)! Woohoo! Looks like I'm gonna have my Christmas cards completed early this year. Yay! Last year, I was still making cards on Christmas Eve! lol I'm hosting this EDCC over at Scrappin-n-Chattin, I hope you'll join us!

I'll be back later this week with some layouts to share.. see you then! :)

It's Party Time Tuesday!

I hope that you all had a fabulous holiday weekend! We enjoyed ours- we visited with family, and saw a quick fireworks show before a rain storm came through. It was a bit rushed, but still had a nice time. :)

As on every Tuesday, it's Party Time! :) This week over at Party Time Tuesdays, the challenge is outside/in- which means the inside of the card should be decorated, too :) This was a good challenge for me, I've never created a card that included the inside. I think it turned out cute and it was alot of fun to make, too. I hope you'll join us by creating your own outside/in birthday card and be sure to check out all the gorgeous creations made by the design team! :)

Card Supplies: Imaginisce "Splash Dance" papers and rubons,
AmyR stamps, chalk ink, WRMK corner chomper, cardstock.

I'll be MIA for several days, we're traveling to Pittsburgh to visit my sister. I haven't seen her in a year and I'm really excited- I've missed her so much. We'll be returning possibly Sunday.

(And for you criminal-types out there, my brother-in-law will be house-sitting while we're gone.)

Well.. hope you all have a great week! I know I will :)

See you next week! :)
