We have a new challenge starting today over on the A Passion for Papertrey Blog.  The theme is “the elements” so we’re looking for something inspired by EARTH, AIR, FIRE or WATER.  Papertrey Ink have loads of stamps and dies that would fit this theme perfectly.  I chose a more “subtle” interpretation by using the word “rock”!!

Card recipe {You Rock}:
Stamps: Boy Basics: Rock On; Grunge Me, Fillable Frames#4.
Ink: Smokey Shadow, Pure Poppy, Versamark.
Cardstock: Smokey Shadow, Stampers select white.
Other: Saddle Stich ribbon, FF#4 die, Guitar die, staples.

Hope you get a chance to hop on over the blog and check it out.  Remember, you only need to use 1 PTI product to enter and you could win a yummy prize of a PTI stamp set!!!

Morning all, just thought I’d share this little project with you that I created for my niece. She asked me ages ago if I would make her some letters for her wall so as it was her 10th birthday last week I thought it was the perfect time to get round to it! I cut the letters from thin chipboard on my Cricut (Plantin Schoolbook) and then cut the letters again in some papers from the Beautiful Blooms paper Pad (my favourite PTI DP ever!).

Each letter has a little design element added and have foam pads on the back to adhere them to the wall. Her favourite colour is red (a girl after my own heart) so it should match the rest of her room pretty well. I have to apologise for the poor photography though – I just couldn’t get it right no matter how hard I tried!! I think I need to invest in a lightbox or something!!

I have actually made two cards this week.  Here they are: 

{I LOVE ROCK AND ROLL – Joan Jett and the Blackhearts}

Can’t wait to see what inspires you.
