PTI Jan. 2012 Blog Hop

It's been quite sometime since I have participated in a PaperTrey InkBlog Hop. I just started back blogging, so why not jump right in. My 2011 project was the owl notepad that I made for my daughter for Christmas. She had been asking me for awhile to make her one. She is into owls right now, so I knew Wise Owl was the prefect set. Today I made her birthday (yes, early-her birthday is in June) card which was fun as I took the inspiration from her well-loved notepad. I used all her favorite colors as well. Let's just hope she still likes owls by June:)


Will post supplies later.

Home Projects

Gasp, a short and non-papercraft blog today. Remember I mentioned we moved this past summer. This was an idea that I had saved from Better Homes and Garden. After some research, I found the tree decal on Ebay. The frames are from Target. Yes, I am a bad dog mama and have not yet filled the top frame with our Lily's picture.

Let It Snow

In the spirit of winter and the fact we have some white stuff on the ground, I thought I'd post another "winter" project. I have some friends and family down "South" right now and thought they might enjoy some "snow". The "snowball" in the pail is actually my first attempt at bath fizzies. I have to say they are fun to make but can be a bit challenging. Since I was looking for the snowball look, I was okay when my fizzies collapsed a bit. I think putting them in a regular mold is easier than using the mondo balls.

The cards were inspired by Maile Belles. I tweaked them a bit to fit my purpose.

Supplies:
Stamps: PTI Made in Snow, PTI Made in Snow Mini, PTI In The Meadow
Ink: Copics
Cardstock: PTI White, Spring Moss, Aqua Mist, Soft Stone, PTI Bitty Dot Basics Patterned Paper
Tools: Nesties, PTI Made in Snow Mini Die, Corner Chomper

Back to Blogging

Well, can you tell we moved last June? Yep, no blog posts for quite some time. I have never painted so much in my life! 5 rooms and bedroom furniture set. However, I did get crafty this Fall after those projects were completed. I need to update with photos, but thought I'd start with my most recent projects.

My daughter and I worked on her Valentines on Christmas break. I scored the bath snowflakes at Jo-Ann's for $.30 after Christmas sale. The pencils are from Target dollar spot (love that place).

Supplies used:
Stamps: Tiny Treats: Valentines, Made in Snow Mini, Basic Backgrounds: Hearts
Cardstock: PTI & SU
Ink: Memento Black, SU Melon Mambo, Copics, Signo White Gel Pen
Tools: Cricut, Nesties, Scor Pal, SU punches
