PTI Blog Hop - My Timeless Templates

It is time for another PTI Blog Hop! This month the challenge was to use one of the My Timeless Templates from Lauren Meader that PTI carries. I used the Filed with Flair template to make this storage set for inspiration cards. I plan on storing cards that are sent to me, or that I make at make and takes to use as inspiration in this. The colors are PTIs Hibiscus Burst and Lemon Tart, which are also the colors of my craft room. I used the 2008 Anniversary Stamp set on the label along with the Hibiscus Burst and Lemon Tart PTI ink. The flowers are Heidi Swapp, but everything else is PTI.  I love it!

New Ribbon Storage

**This was posted on the family side yesterday**

This weekend I cleaned up my craft room and painted my ribbon rack!  I saw a similar one (but much smaller) online somewhere and asked my Dad if we could make one like it. I wanted to be able to pull my ribbon on and off easily without having to thread/un-thread all of the spools from a dowel. This is what we came up with!

Yep. That is me with a nail gun. This is what it looks like now!

All of my loose ribbon is in the jars, and my spools are on the ribbon rack. I love that I have lots of room to grow, especially since I buy the new PTI ribbon every month. I figure I have a year or so before I will run out of room. The stray wire you see peeking out of the top is for a smoke detector that we have, but need to install. I still need to take pictures of the rest of the room while it is still clean!

A new layout

After dinner last night we all went downstairs to play. The girls in their playroom, me in my craft room and Eric on the computer. This is what I made!

I have had this kit for a while and am not sure where I got it from. Most of the items are Pink Paislee, but the Bird stamp and bling was in the kit as well. I just love how this turned out! I just wish that it had not taken me almost 2 hours. I think too much when scrabooking.

Here is the supply list:
PP and Die Cuts: Pink Paislee - Spring Fling
CS: PTI - Kraft; Bazzill
Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Brushed Corduroy
Stamp: Imaginesce
Chipboard: Heidi Swapp; Scenic Route
Rubons: Creative Imaginations
Other: PTI Buttons, Misc bling and embroidery floss

Acrylic Album

I made this acrylic album last year while on a 3 week business trip. I only brought the basics with me (which was really difficult for me) and used mostly products from the same line to keep it simpler. I do not have the supply details with me, but I will update this post as soon as I find them. I printed all of the pictures in B&W which was really great because it allowed me to use a color combo that I love, but that I rarely use since I have two girls. I really need to print in B&W more often.

This was my first acrylic album and it is by far my favorite mini-album that I have made. I absolutely love it and wish I could take better pictures of it. I tried very hard to keep the next page in mind when making the album, and in hindsight wish I had made it backwards (last page first). Not a big deal, but I am anal like that. Here are a few of the pages.

 

 

The stickles do not work so well on acrylic. As seen above, it has come off in a few places. I still love the little bit of bling though!

A new layout

I finally have a new layout to post! I have had this picture sitting out for a while now, but I was not sure what I wanted to do with it. Frame it, scrapbook it.. too many options! I just love the picture though. So, I was playing around with my Damask Designs stamp set from PTI and some Sweet Blush CS. At first I tried using Sweet Blush ink as well, but it did not show up well. I do not know if I have a bad ink pad, or if that is just the color, but even on White CS you can barely see the sweet blush ink. Versamark worked perfectly though!

The journaling says:
This looks like a father telling his almost son-in-law to take care of his little girl. However, since Dad wanted me to marry Eric before we were even dating, that is not likely. He was probably saying "It's about time!"

I dated it wrong though (it is now fixed). It should be Sep 28, 2002.

Supplies:
Damask Designs Stamps,  Stampers Select White CS and Sweet Blush CS - PTI
Thickers &  Deja Views letter stickers, EK Success border punch, Versamark ink, Prima crystals, pink binding tape (?)
