More Papertrey Anniversary Celebration

I've been super busy trying to keep up with all this card-making to help celebrate Papertrey Ink's 6th anniversary, along with all my other everyday "stuff" I've got going on.  Luckily, today I had the day to myself to spend in my studio where I created a few cards while relaxing and listening to some of my favorite music from Norah Jones.  The first card I have to share is one I created in similar style to that of Melissa Phillips.  I visit her blog daily for inspiration.  She makes it look SO easy to whip up some images, sentiments, paper and tidbits to make beautiful cards and creations.

Papertrey Day 2- Part 3

Anyone for a cup of tea?  Being home all day today getting rest and drinking plenty of ginger/lemon tea with honey in it has made me feel much better.  Speaking of tea, here is my 3rd card of the night celebrating Papertrey Ink's anniversary:

Papertrey Day 2- Part 2

Here's my second card of the night to help celebrate Papertrey Ink's 6th anniversary.  I typically don't make masculine cards very often and I have a couple men celebrating birthdays soon (my hubby and his twin share Valentine's Day as a birthday!) so here's a card with masculine flair (my camera was not taking good photos this evening so the colors are a bit washed out):

Papertrey Anniversary Continues- Day 2

Today was a day filled with card making for me.  I went home from work early yesterday because I have not been feeling very well, and today I stayed home all day to make cards rest.  I really did get some rest.  For me, it's very relaxing to sit and make cards.  It helps clear my mind and gets my creative juices flowing.  And what could be better than to have some GREAT free dowloadables  to help me be more creative?  Papertrey Ink has a sheet of free downloads HERE.  Just print a sheet or two (I always print once on white cardstock, and once on vanilla cardstock to give myself some options).  So, I have made a few cards and will be posting them individually so I can enter them in the current PTI contest.  And here's the first one:

Papertrey Ink's 6th Anniversary-Day 1

Let the festivities begin!  Papertrey Ink is celebrating its 6th anniversary by hosting some fun contests and other activities.  Today's post on PTI is all about spotlighting the PTI Design Team.  These gals work wonders with the fabulous stamps and products PTI sells.  The Design Team members have each chosen 6 of their favorite projects made with PTI product.  Today's contest is to create a project inspired by one of the Design Team member's projects.  For my first entry, I chose a beauty made by Cristina Kowalczyk.  A gal at work just became a grandmother for the first time, so I felt a Welcome Baby card was appropriate.
