Stamp Store Visit

I was visiting NYC During Christmas and I found out about this neat Stamp store called The Ink Pad and I had to go check it out. Nestled in the Village in NYC, it is a small but a cute store with all kind of local stuff and some really neat stamps. It was so much fun browsing and shopping in this store.

I used the photos of my visit to this store for this Sketch challenge from My Minds Eye Blog.

Here is my layout,

Friend Card for Just Us Girls Challenge

It was a technique Challenge at Just Us Girls - Sewing. I did this quick card for my close friend...Just to say Hello.

Here is my card. I kept it simple. I used this Guidelines DP from PTI and stitched on it to kind of make a border. But later I realized that the thread I was using was very light for this DP. I should used some darker color - like brown or pink.. Oh well..I still liked how this card turned out. I used the Friend's 'Till End set.


I took a couple of close up shots to show the stitching,




Banu's Quick Tip - I stamp a bunch of these flowers on CS and I cut them out when I am watching TV or something like that. So at any given point of time, I have a bunch of these flowers cut out - which makes it very easy to put together a card.

Supplies:
Stamp - PTI Friends 'Till End
Paper - PTI Raspberry Fizz, PTI Guidelines DP, PTI White CS
Ink - PTI Raspberry Fizz, PTI Dark Chocolate
Other - Generic Pearl Embellishment

CPS 149 and PTI Swap

I wanted to share the projects that I did for the PTI Card and Notebook Swap on SCS being hosted by my dear friend Susan.

Here is my card for the swap and I did this using the CPS149 Sketch.


I used the Autumn Abundance stamp set, colored it with Copics and used some Friends 'Till End DP from PTI :) The card came together quickly and I am quite happy how it turned out.

Here is the CPS Sketch,



Next up is the notebook that I did for the Notebook swap. I used these 5x8 Junior Legal Notepads from Staples. I had done a bunch of them earlier where I had gotten these cut in half, but I wanted to try altering the notepad as is. :) Here is the result.
I used all PTI Products on this with the exception of the Prima Flowers and the bling brad. The cover opens up like a matchbox cover and it was fun doing this.








Supplies:
Stamp - PTI Take a Note, PTI Autumn Abundance
Paper - PTI Kraft, Soft Stone, Dark chocolate and White CS, PTI Friends 'Till End DP, PTI Bitty Dots DP

Saturday Scrapook Sketch Challenge #2

At Inspired Crafters, we are working towards creating more scrapbook pages in the year 2010 :) So as part of that every Saturday we have some inspiration to create a scrapbook page. This time it was a sketch from 52 sketches 52 weeks.

I used a picture of my niece that I took during my brother's wedding. She had just finished eating Watermelon and this pose caught my eye. :) It was so much to scrap this photo...:)

Here is my layout,


Sorry for the photo quality. I used to scan my LO's before but was not too happy with it, so trying my hand at photography :)

Also I noticed some spelling mistakes in my journaling.Oh well :)

I cut out the title from Silhouette :) Inspired by Susan and Amy to use more of my Silhouette and Cricut in my LO's.

I used the flowers and pearls to kind of mimic what she is wearing in the photo :)
