Desires of your heart

The Monday Challenge over at Simon Says Stamp this week is 'Birds of a Feather'...to use either a bird or a feather in your project.  I have a niece with a birthday coming up, so I decided to use this bird image from Tim Holtz clear stamp set Urban Grunge. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink Signature Greetings Vol. 3. I stamped Vintage Text by Wendy Vecchi on the base of the card, then layered a die cut piece using Tim Holtz Thinlits and some leaves from the Festive Greens die set.

Thanks for looking!

Chalkboard Challenge

I was able to order some cute stamp sets after Christmas this year from Papertrey Ink and they arrived in time for me to play with this fun challenge Make It Monday #98-Chalkboard Technique:

The challenge over at A Blog Named Hero-Challenge 17 "New Year, New You" was to try a new technique so since this was a new technique for me I thought I'd enter it there also!

Papertrey Ink Blog Hop-Embrace the festive...

I made this card at the last minute for the Papertrey Ink November Blog Hop Challenge::

I hate cutting it so close to the wire...it's due by 11:30 pm Eastern Standard Time.  But, I loved the inspiration, and Christmas is right around the corner now that Thanksgiving has passed.  This is the first time I've played at PTI...wish I had a stamp with those cute ice skates!
