GratitudeJournal

I was inspired by Dawn McVey's Gratitude Journal stamp set to make a journal of my own.  I decided to use PTI's  coasters as covers, so my album is 4 inches square and bound with a D ring. Jenni Bowlin's Haven paper collection turned out to be exactly the right size.

I decorated my book with journaling blocks, chipboard pieces and various little tags and doodads.  Danielle Flanders gives instructions for the little twine 'flowers' here on her blog.

Calendar basics

I've been making some calendars with PTI's Calendar Basics stamp set. Thought it was a nice idea for a Christmas gift, and makes a change from all the notebooks I've been churning out recently!  I've made most of them using patterned paper which makes it really quick and easy.

I use PTI's cd calendar cases and created wrap-around covers like Nichole Heady showed here (just scroll down a bit through her post):

I've used Anna Forrest's great script for PhotoShop Elements which lets you generate mini calendar pages in a variety of languages.   Here is one in German for one of my cousins in Vienna:

Supplies
Paper -  White cardstock from stash,  SU Haiku DSP
Stamps - PTI Calendar Basics
Ink - Versafine onyx black
Accessories -  Perpetual Mini Calendar Maker for PSE, calendar page svg, calendar CD case

More notecards

Here is a set of notecards I made using Turning a New Leaf. I've gone for a simple gradient effect using cardstock. The leaves are embossed, but that might be hard to see on a photo:

And 2 more:

Colour swatch book

For a while I was tempted to buy PTI's colour swatch folder, but I decided it would be more fun to make my own instead.  I was inspired by Lisa Johnson's book here but decided to make mine 4 inches square - the size of PTI's coasters.  I used 2 coasters as the covers.  I cut out the title with my cricut and applied some crystal effects for a bit of shine. 

And here are a few pages from inside.  I also cut these with my cricut. As it's on a ring, I can add more colours as they become available.

Supplies
Paper - PTI cardstock, Damask paper
Accessories - cricut, white labels, Crop-a-dile, eyelets, crystal effects

In need of a pickup?

Well, a card is bound to help. This is one I recently sent a friend who was going through a tough week. Used my copics to colour the truck and added some stickles for that touch of glimmer:

Supplies
Paper - PTI stamper's select white, royal velvet, hibiscus burst
Stamps - SU Loads of Love and Loads of Love Accessories
Ink - Memento tuxedo black
Accessories -  copics, foam tape, stickles

Thinking of you

I love this little envelope - cut with an svg file and my cricut. The little letter inside pulls out so I can write a message on it.

These flower centres from Prima are great - they make handmade flower embellies look so realistic!  I think I need to order a few more :)

Supplies
Paper - PTI stamper's select white, Pink Paislee Sweetness patterned paper
Stamps - PTI Asian Fusion (sentiment)
Ink - Versafine onyx black, vintage tea dye duo
Accessories - PTI Beautiful Blooms dies, envelope svg, MemrieMare cabbage rose ribbon, Prima flower centre, fabric glue, foam tape

Grown with love

Here's another card using PTI's Garden Variety set. I stamped my own background using the trowel and fork images from the set and for the focal point used an image from the YOF Collection I coloured with copics. That colouring is really addictive!

Supplies
Paper - PTI stamper's select white, plum pudding, Bitty Box patterned paper
Stamps - PTI Garden Variety, YOF Collection
Ink - Versafine onyx black, memento tuxedo black, PTI vintage tea dye duo
Accessories - coin envelope svg, seed packet frame svg, copic markers, MemrieMare Cabbage Rose ribbon, foam tape
