PTI Celebrating 2010

Today's post and challenge on Nichole's blog are all about celebrating 2010 with Papertrey Ink.  I had a few sets to choose from to highlight for today, but I wanted to pull out this first in a series set:

Take 3: Summer

Here's the card I made for it:

Take 3 Summer, Leafy Vine Border die

 

I used shimmer cardstock for the orange panel and leafy border and added a bit of sparkle to the flowers with a gel pen.

Thanks for visiting My Happy Place!

Paper Dolls Challenge #8

I was lucky enough to get to be a part of a great group of women on the PTI forum.  We challenge each other to use different color combos, sketches and to get out of our comfort zone.  That, plus they are all so nice and supportive.  It's been a lot of fun!

This week it's my turn to host the challenge and my inspiration came from a shirt my sister had on recently.  It was such a different combination of colors and I just loved it.

I've made two cards with this color combination.  Come and play along with us!  You can get all the details here.  Here are my cards:

Ted's Color Challenge

Ted has issued a challenge to us this month to create a project with warm colors.  Thinking about warmth is not hard here in Texas where the temperatures are already nearing 100*.  His suggestions were to use red, orange and yellow, so I went with that on this card.

I can't get enough of Alli's Take 3 set.  I just love it!
