A Year of PTI - December

Here we are at the last day of the month and I managed to get one more calendar page done. Three down, nine to go and less than 60 days. The craft room cleaning is still in process. With family coming to visit for Thanksgiving, I really need to kick this cleaning up a notch.

But it was far more fun to pull out some stamps for a couple of hours. It's funny how sometimes a project comes together so quickly, while other times it is such a struggle. Today was one of those easy, peasy days. Who knows why!

I found that the retired Stampin' Up Handsome Hunter is a pretty good match for Pinefeather. And I like Pinefeather better in person than on the website.

Hope you enjoy. Thanks for stopping by.

Supplies:
Stamps: Holiday Button Bits, Calendar Basics
Card Stock: Pinefeather, Pure Poppy, Stampers Select White
Ink: SU Handsome Hunter, Pure Poppy
Patterned Paper: Christmas Prints

A Year of PTI - July

My crafting time has been a bit limited lately. I'm cleaning and organizing my craft room. I've got a huge box of cardstock and patterned paper ready to go to the local daycare. I'm sure the kids will have fun with my castoffs and I'm glad to see the box go.

I'm still working on my calendar, a Christmas gift for family and friends. Here's the month of July. I'm working through the months as inspiration hits. If you scroll down, you can see the only other month complete - September.

Friends of Waltzingmouse Blog Waltz

It's the 17th of the month and time for the Friends of Waltzingmouse Stamp Blog Waltz. The theme for this month is Autumn/Harvest. Fall is my favorite time of the year. Love the cooler temperatures, the bright blue skies and, most of all, the changing of the trees. It's only natural that I would have to use leaves and acorns on my card.

PTI Christmas Tags

PTI is offering a new set of tags this month and several of the DT posts have centered around tags. I decided to challenge myself to make tags using a number of older PTI sets. It was so much fun to search for tiny images that would work on the Fillable Frames dies. I'm awaiting a shipment of twine so please excuse that my tags are stringless.

Hope you enjoy. Thanks for stopping by.

PTI Fall/Halloween Card Swap

Ted organized a fall or Halloween card swap on the PTI forum. This was the card I made to send to Kelly. First time using the dies and leaf stamps - love all things fall. Sure would have liked an acorn to complete the grouping but had to make do with a button!
