Happy Anniversary PTI!

I've finally had a chance to absorb all the goodness of this year's anniversary celebration at PTI!  Of course it takes an event like this to bring my craftiness out of hibernation.  You can follow along at Nichole's Blog. 

The first card I've created is for the Color Challenge from Day 1.  I chose Ashley's palette here:

Flower Fusion #6, Beautiful Blessings, Everyday Button Bits

I have several more in mind to make, so I'm going to get busy!  Thanks for visiting My Happy Place!

PTI Anniversary Day 4 Challenge

It's Day 4 of the Anniversary Celebration at Papertrey Ink, and I'm catching up with the challenges this weekend.  You can see all the challenges and new products if you go to Nichole's Blog.

Our challenge today was to create a bouquet of flowers from different floral stamp sets.  I pulled out a few of my favorites to see how they would go together and decided on Life, Larger Than Life, and Floral Fusion #11.

Here's what I came up with:

So Thoughtful!

I loved Dawn's video today encouraging us to use non-background stamps to create backgrounds.  I love to dig through my stamps to see which ones would make great backgrounds, so this week's technique was perfect for me!  Nichole does this a lot - and with great color combos!  I used one of the combos that she talked about on PTI Radio this weekend on my card today.  

Here it is:

PTI:  Flower Fusion, Take Three die, Spring Moss, Ocean Tides, Vintage Cream

This particular flower from Flower Fusion was a bit hard to line up.  After I got over the fact that it didn't have to line up perfectly, I was off and running.
