It has been a BUSY SUMMER!  But Emily had a nice mental break tonight, working on this SUPER FUN Make-it-Monday from Papertrey Ink!!!

PTI MAKE IT MONDAY #282: STENCILED WATERCOLOR BACKGROUNDS

PTI MAKE IT MONDAY #256: SPRITZED STAMPS

Wow, it's been a LONG TIME since I did a Make it Monday!!  Eek!  But I've been getting everything organized & together for Stamp-A-Faire 2016!! YAY! Can't wait for all the fun Saturday :)

I made 2 cards based on this technique.  Not sure which one I like more...

PTI MAKE IT MONDAY #241: OMBRE STENCILED BACKGROUNDS

WOW!! Make it Monday challenge 214 was the last one I did...now we're on 241!!!  Okay, so missing over 25 submissions was due to a very wild and crazy relocation back to the United States with P&G - back to Mason, Ohio!!  I just put an AMAZING craft room into our new house, so I hope to be submitting more frequently :)

Here is my card....we didn't have PTI Stencils :-O but we made our own with PTI coverplates.  Also sharing some pictures of my wonderul scrap space.

PTI MAKE IT MONDAY #211: USING GELATOS WITH STAMPS

Emily and I happened to pick up a 4 pack of Gelato's when we were in the US over the holidays.....we haven't even opened or tried them.  This week's Papertrey MIM gave us a chance finally!!!  

Now, the BAD news is, we totally want the Anniversary set shown in the example!!!  And I recently used up all my award points :(  Looks like I need to do some major shopping to replenish and get the kit!!

PTI MAKE IT MONDAY #209: WHITE ON WHITE DIE CUTS WITH A POP OF COLOR

Saturday morning crafts.  I LOVE this Make it Market mini Clipster kit from PTI.  How fun!

PTI MAKE IT MONDAY #208: OMBRE STAMPING

Thanks to President Obama, Panama is SHUT DOWN for the Summit of the Americas.  We are on lockdown here, not leaving the house...what a great time to scrapbook.  School canceled, work canceled, let's go for Make it Monday!

PTI MAKE IT MONDAY #207: DOUBLE PARTIAL DIE CUTTING

Saturday Morning PTI fun!!!

PTI Make It Monday #204: Watercolor Smooshing

Emily and I have been busy...haven't had a chance to do a Papertrey Ink MIM for awhile.  This one was easy and fun....wasn't until I posted it to my blog I realized how similar it was to my last MIM submission.  OOOPS!  Guess I really like that die :)

PTI Challenge: handmade tag with a matching gift bag

I am super excited about how this PTI Challenge to make a Tag and Gift Bag turned out!  One of my best friends from College is getting married in 2 weeks, and we are giving them a subscription for a wine club membership.  I think these accessories and bag will be the perfect way to present the gift!!

 

PTI Challenge: bouquet created with more than one floral stamp set

This is my card for the PTI Challenge of using 2 flower sets to create a bouquet.  I used "Ruby Rose" and "Mini Blooms."  After pulling out ALL our Flower PTI sets, the scrapbook room was pretty messy!

PTI: MAKE IT MONDAY #200: LAYERING COVER PLATE DIE CUTS

Emily and I crafted nearly ALL DAY!  So many fun Papertrey Ink challenges... This Make it Monday was super quick and easy too...my favorite!

PTI Make It Monday #197: Homemade Foam Stickers

I love how this card for PTI Make it Monday turned out.  First time I was able to play around with the "Fancy That" stamp set.  I will definitely use this technique again...great way to use up the scrap foam from the "Sprinkles and Shakers" Make it Market kit...but maybe not with glitter :)

Make It Monday #157: DIY Cover Plates

I created my own cover plate :) to recreate this MIM challenge!  I completely crop-lifted this cute idea...I love Pinterest!

Papertrey Ink Make It Monday #192: Tab Closure Tri-fold Card

Yay!  Mother's Day in Panama means we can actually tackle Make it Monday ON MONDAY!  Emily and I really enjoyed this week's challenge.  How fun!!  That girl was whizzing on her card.  I didn't even realize until she was done that she used a brad to "close" it.  Oops!!  Oh well, we can send it to Grandma :)

Had a hard time getting a good angle on the card, so at least I got one with a cute subject in the background :)

Make It Monday #189: Impression Line Water Coloring

We are squeezing in this week's Make it Monday challenge, just before heading out on vacation!! :)   I thought this would be a great fit with Thanksgiving right around the corner.
