PTI June 2009 Blog Hop

2nd post of the day. Please scroll down to see the first.

It's time again for the PTI Blog Hop. This time's challenge was to get inspired by the Lazy days of summer. I had gotten the Magazine called Experience from Lifetime Fitness club just yesteday and it was so bright and cheerful for the summer. There was this lady holding basketful of apples and I just had to use the Vintage Picnic set to create my card...

Here is my card,


I used E57 and E59 for the basket. YG03 and G24 for the apples and G28 for the leaves. The Copic tutorial for these baskets and fruits as shown by Nichole during June release was very helpful. Here is a link for it.

Here is the Magazine that inspired this card,

Stamp - PTI Vintage Picnic, PTI Vintage Picnic Sentiments
Ink - Memento Black, PTI Chai Ink cube and Copics
Paper - PTI Bitty Boxes DP, PTI Kraft and New Leaf CS, GKD Pure Luxury White
Other - PTI New Leaf Vintage Buttons, PTI Rustic Twine, SU Scalloped Border Punch

Copic Challenge 6 and TECC sketch 73

I was very excited to find the Copic blog where they are posting copic related challenges. I have fallen in love with Copics and it is so much fun to participate in these challenges. You can see the link for Copic challenges on my right nav bar.

Copic Challenge #6 was Copic marker coloring techniques for Wood. I searched my stamp sets and found two stamp sets which I could use with this challenge. Boards and Beams by PTI which has the house and I can kind of treat it like a wood cabin... and also Time For you by PTI which has the wooden bench. So I decided to do two cards :)

This first card is using PTI's Board and Beam stamp set. I colored the main slats of the house using browns and tried to get in the weathered look, it has not come out that great, but for my first try..I kind of liked it.



Here are the copics I used for this card,



I used the W5 for the shingles and then used the colorless blender to kind of lighten it. I used the w3 for the door and Y11 for the windows -- in retrospect it feels too bright, I might have used some other color. The browns were used on the slats and Y28 was used for the posts and window slats.

For the second card, I used the TECC 73 sketch and colored the wooden bench....



Here are the Copics I used for this card,

Stamp - PTI Board and Beams, SU Time For You

Updated - SSS - Birds and Butterflies Challenge!!!

It is time for a new challenge on Scrap and Stamp. This time the challenge is to create a layout about outdoors and nature. Here is a link to their challenge.

UPDATED - The challenge was also to use stamps in your layout..which I guess is always included..since I had not stamped on my previous layout and I did not feel it was fair to be included in the challenge if I did not use the stamps, I created another layout of our berry picking trip (with stamping this time). I used the Fruitful and Heartfelt Stamp sets from PTI. Even though the fruit was a grape I think, I kind of used it like a black berry :)

Here is my layout,



So, I created this two page layout of my parents trip to Elizabeth Park in Hartford, Connecticut. It was just gorgeous with Roses Blooming......

I used the Vintage Cream CS from PTI and I just love how the colored image looks on this CS.

Summer Sketch Challenge from Scrap and Stamp

My Friend Chris is on the Design Team for Scrap and Stamp and they had posted their first Summer Sketch Challenge and here is my take on it. The Challenge was to use their sketch and use two different stamps. I used the Gina K Designs - Lazy days of summer set - and stamped the stars and the text. I used the stubbies from Stamps by Judith and using the Fresh Snow ink from PTI, I stamped the star kind of image on the scalloped border.

I also used the Journaling circles from Autumn Leaves Clear Stamp set to write my journaling. I am quite happy how this layout turned out. I think I will do a few more layouts with this sketch..

Mojo Monday 89, GKD Challenge and Catalog Inspiration

It seldom happens that I get to combine multiple challenges in one card, but this time it just happened that way. I combined Mojo Monday Sketch with the challenge from GKD forum which was to create a Red and Blue colored card without a patriotic theme. And the latest catalog from Pottery Barn was also showcasing red and blue colors so it all came together pretty well.

I stamped the Kite image from GKD Stamps in PTI vintage cream and added some glitter on top, but somehow it does not stand out as much as I expected...Maybe it would have looked better paper pierced...but oh well, next time.

Here is my card,
