Cherish

Two days in a row! It’s a papercrafting record! I’m continuing to participate in the PTI challenges that are posted on Nichole’s blog. Today’s challenge is to create a project that incorporates hearts. I also chose to use one of the sketches from yesterday, Sketch 5:

I love Heather Nichol’s patterned paper pack, Pacific Vineyard and another thing I love is that her Tag-Its 12 is has the same vine pattern on it (it also has a heart as part of the stamp set…but I didn’t use it).  I may give this to Brad for our anniversary instead of the card from last night. Or maybe I’ll give him both. Or maybe I’ll give him one to give to me…teehee!

Elizabeth CASEd a card

Last night we were sitting on the sofa after everyone else had gone to bed.  Elizabeth and I were watching one of her DVR’ed episodes of Martha  Bakes (yes, really, my 8-year-old has us DVR cooking shows – three as a matter of fact).  Anyway, I was blog surfing and she glanced over at the computer. “Ooooh! Mommy, that card is PRETTY! Don’t you have that stamp? Can I make that card?”  It was Audrey’s card from the PTI Blog Hop (which is a beautiful card).  I told her I didn’t have a big scallop for her to use as the accent, but she could use my Martha Stewart Lattice Arch Punch if she wanted.  She did. 

So, I broke out all the stuff and stamped the Mehndi Medallion (aka “Best $5 Stamp Set ever!”) for her – then I tied the ribbon for her at the end.  Beyond that, she did it ALL (including finding my little bag of goodies from a PTI forum member and swiping a Tiny Tag…LOL).  I thought she CASEd Audrey pretty well!  Here she is with her card:
