Mad for Paper

I finally got a few more of PTI's colors.  I go the newish Autumn Rose and the older Spring Moss.  I really love them both, especially the Spring Moss.  I love just about anything green.  I am sure it will quickly become one of my favorites.  I also got PTI's new Front & Center #1 die. LOVE it.  Since it is number 1, I  assume there will be more to follow.  I sure hope so.  I think Nicole had another brilliant idea with this one.  I hope that there will be some a little less feminine coming up.  These make great little bags for any kind of gift. Here is the first one I made usint the Autum Rose paper.   The little chipboard teapot, cup and spoon are Maya Road.     Here is a close up of them. Some Basic Grey goodies were used on these along with a BG background stamp. I thought this would be fun for a little gift of some fun teas. ...

I haven't even had a chance to sit at my crafty desk for a couple of weeks.  I have missed it so much.  I felt I had to create something today or I would go nuts.  I was looking around at some sketch challenges and came across the CAS-ual Fridays challenge.  I don't think I have done this one before.  I really liked the sketch, decided to give it a try. As I was working on the card I kind of forgot about the CAS part.   It's not too cluttered so I thought I would go for it anyway. I have been wanting to make a masculine card using my PTI Road Trip set.   This is what I came up with. I found this scrap of map paper in my stash.  It started out very white, like this I knew that wouldn't work so I beat the #@%& out of it. Here is a close up of the little details. I am pretty happy with the way it came out.  I thought I would save it for my son's high school graduation next year. Thanks for visit...
