Make it Monday #49 - Ghost Masking - take 2

Ok, I decided after the first try, I wanted to try the ghost masking again - this time with a full-bleed stamp :-)

For this one I used Flower Fusion #6 - and the little hearts from Bundle of Love.

I really like this technique - it makes a really neat effect - without a lot of fuss.

Make it Monday #31 - Creating Backgrounds with non-Background Stamps

Hello!  The weather has turned and fall is in the air!  This morning when I woke up, my sunflower had finally opened (I planted it from seed) and it kicked started my crafty mojo.  Here is my inspirational flower:

So for today's Make it Monday at Papertrey Ink, I decided to use the Simple Sunflower stamp set to make my background.  I used almost every stamp in the set. 

I also used Label Basics and Tag Its #3 for the sentiment label. I snuck in another flower center on the label in order to break it up a bit :-)

Make it Monday #30 - Colored Pencils

Hello :-)

Today I am sharing a card I made for Papertrey Ink's Make it Monday challenge series.  This week's challenge is using colored pencils.

I used Tag Its #6 to stamp the random images (apple, smiley face, star) on the scallop strip in coordinating colors.  I used the library card and Label Basics stamps as accents - and of course, I used Boy Basics: Frog Hop for the focal point.
