paint by number...

well, it's way past my bedtime, but i couldn't pass up creating a quick little card for PTI's 3rd birthday bash!  today's challenge was to create a card using a particular color palette determined by the first letter in your username.  got it?  since my username starts with an "a", this was my palette to work with: 

to see the sketch, just hop on over the nichole's blog. 

here's my version of the challenge:

i used lemon tart as the card base, then layered everything else on top!  i've got to show you a closeup of one of my favorite stamp sets from pti...everyday button bits:

don't you just love that little chick...so cute!

well, thanks for stopping by...off to bed for me now.  see you all next time! :)

pti birthday bash-inspired by lisa johnson

so, lisa johnson created one of the cutest stamp sets i've ever seen this past year.  it's called on my couch!  it's so fun, and i love the concept of it.  the image she provided for the birthday bash celebration was used on my other favorite card from tonight...

i used this sweet birdcage from basic grey...i think the set i called porcelain, but don't quote me on that.  anyway, i just love the color combo(cream, berry sorbet & spring moss).  i also love the pearls...so classy! :) 

okay, time for bed...see you all next time! :)

i also loved this sweet little birthday image from niki estes. 

i used some of my favorite rasberry fizz cs from pti as the base.  i stamped a background image on the bottom half of the card, then divided it with a strip of aqua and some ribbon!  i had the perfect color rhinestones to accent niki's cute image!

alrighty, just one more, then i'm hittin' the hay!
