A Passion for Papertrey – CASE challenge

Well, as promised here I am with my first DT card as a member of the Passion for Papertrey team.  Thank you to all for the warm welcoming wishes.
This weeks challenge was really good fun to do.  What we want is for you to choose one of the PTI design team’s cards and CASE it.  In other words, be inspired by it and use it to design a card of your own.  You can copy the whole thing or simply choose elements – just look for inspiration!  The hardest part of this challenge will be picking the card – there is just so much talent to choose from!
For my card, I chose one of the cards made by the queen of PTI herself, Nichole Heady.  This is the card I made:

And here is the stunning card I used as my inspiration.  See the resemblance??
Hope you can join us in the challenge.  I can’t wait to see what delights you come up with.

Hugs,

HUUUUGE News!!!!

I have some really exciting news today that I have been itching to share for the last week, ever since the Papertrey Make and Take day I attended up in Sheffield.  Well, believe it or not Kate and Aimes who run the A Passion for Papertrey challenge blog have asked ME to join their team!!  I know, isn’t that soooo cool?!   Of course I said I would have to think about it……. NOT.  I snapped their hands off, lol!  I have developed such of love of all things Papertrey Ink and through it have made some amazing, brilliant friends – Kate and Aimes being two of them.  If you have never come across Papertrey Ink before then have a look HERE at Nichole Heady’s blog (one of the founders of PTI) .  Follow on to the rest of the Design Team’s blogs and before you know it you’ll be off to the store filling your shopping basket like there’s no tommorrow!!!  Be warned – your home may be at risk if you do not keep up repayments on your mortgage or other loan secured on it (because you’ve spent all your money on stamps!!).

There is a new challenge staring later today and so I’ll be back with my first card as an official Passion for Papertrey teamie later.  Just wanted to squeal my news from the rooftops first!!

Hugs,

Passion for Papertrey – AUTUMN challenge.

Thought I would quickly post this wee card I made a few weeks back for the Fall Card swap hosted by Ted over on the Papertrey Ink forum.  I received a lovely Halloween card from my fellow Pixie Jill (Anjillic Creations) and I posted this card to Emily (Sky Nacho) in Wisconsin. 
The current challenge over on Passion for Papertrey is Autum so thought this would fit there too!!

Right – Tuesday is one of those days I can’t wait to be over (2 have piano lessons, 2 have Arts and Crafts club, one has Brownies and the other has Scouts). One of them is actually involved in all three!!  Thank god for friends!

Hugs,
