PTI Friends Til The End Mother's Day and Hello Cards

Happy Monday!

I just want to jump in with a couple of Papertrey Ink imaged cards that I made this weekend. I just got this set, Friends Til the End, although it was released some time ago. What can I say, I am new to PTI. :)

I have noticed a lot of cards using Kraft cardstock lately, so I thought I'd try some too. I actually watercolored right on the cardstock, and it turned out great!

Okay, that's it for today. My husband went dirtbike riding yesterday with a group of friends. He crashed his bike pretty badly, and his knee is swollen like I have never seen. He did not sleep all night, and is in so much pain. But, can you believe he went to work?? I just know he will be home early, because he was hurting so bad. I want to be ready for him. He is going to need to go to the doctor today. Men are crazy, aren't they??

Have a wonderful day!

Pal's Paper Arts Challenge 38 ~ A Sketch!

Hey there!

My husband took the boys with him to buy chainsaw parts, so I had the house all to myself today! For a little while anyways! Here's what I accomplished while they were gone!

This card is for the Pal's Paper Arts Challenge #38, a sketch (shown below). I stayed very close to the sketch, and I like the results. I also managed to use only Stampin' Up! goodies! Yay! I just received this stamp set yesterday, and could not wait to use them! This sketch was PERFECT! And, I am actually submitting this creation on time!

I know, I know! Pat on the back! :)

This paper is one of my all time favorites, and I wish I had stocked up on it before it was too late. I mean seriously, I LOVE IT!! I am very glad that Wild Wasabi is coming back, but I wish someone would have voted for Groovy Guava too. I cannot live without it!

I hope you enjoy my card! Thanks for stopping by!

Have a fantastic weekend!
