Celebrating the Past, Present & Future: 2011

2009: Celebrating the Past, Present & Future

Celebrating the Past, Present & Future: 2009

Since I don't own the stamp sets highlighted, I created a collage-card from items I own.


I'm trying to clean off my desk and the more I use...the better chance I have of finding my lost items!

 (die:Papertrey Ink Counting My Blessings)

I drew inspiration from Nichole's gadgety creation here for the inside of my card~

How cool is this?

 She created notches for character~but I see a pocket of possibilities!

I added a slit to hold this double-sided bookmark~

Here's the coordinating back of the card to make sure the bookmark doesn't slip through.

2010-Celebrating the Past, Present, Future

Celebrating the Past, Present, Future 2010

I am loving these flashback celebrations at Papertrey Ink!

I happen to own Wreath for All Seasons, so I created a "now" project.

I added lots of black accents and a black & white patterned frame~for a modern look.

 I've had the striped sticky paper for years~it was nice to dust that off too!

Have a good one~

 

2007:Past, Present, Future

(stamps: Papertrey Ink The Sweet Life/Tinsel & Tags  dies:Papertrey Ink Tinsel & Tags Basics)




I don't own the releases that were highlighted at Papertrey Ink's 2007 celebration, so I drew inspiration from this beautiful set by Kate.



 

 I love her stamped background and her shaped (and framed) sentiment.

I recently purchased the Tinsel & Tags set and I don't want to wait for Christmas!

Stamped in pastel colors (backed by stamped flowers)...I think this can pass for a Spring/Valentine card.


Since I used a heart and flowers...

I'm also submitting this to

Celebrating the Past, Present and Future

I'm sharing today a project I'm most proud of that uses Papertrey Ink products~

This is a card which I created for the most recent video contest.

 (stamps: Papertrey Ink Spruce & Sprigs  dies: Papertrey Ink Winter Woods/Counting My Blessings)

When I see it in my "portfolio" of projects, I know I stretched myself by videotaping and going through the steps of entering.

I'm also proud of coming up with my washi tape dip technique. ;)

I had to find an excuse for my growing washi tape collection.

ahem. ;)

I'm excited to be able to share this other card here also~

(stamps: Papertrey Ink Sparkle & Shine Holiday Additions   dies: Papertrey Ink Sparkle & Shine Words)

Both of my cards use my washi tape dip technique, in which I lay washi on paper and then die cut it for that dipped look.

 In my second card I used the branch die for an embossed look.

Here's the link for the challenge in case you have something you would like to share also~

Make It Monday #275:Stamped Dangles

hosted by Amy


I even doodled on the circle panel (glad I practiced on the back...it took me five tries to decide baby orange x's would work).


 I found this therapeutic~I'm sure you will too!

Have a lovely Thursday, friends~


wait, it's Thursday, right? 


yes, yes, have a lovely Thursday :)
