CPS 144

I'm still trying out all my new PTI goodies. I bought the 2008 Holiday Tag Set just for this image.  I'm making a lot of homemade gifts with coffe mix and hot chocolate mix, so I wanted this tag.  I decided to try it out on this card and this weeks CPS sketch.

Still loving everything PTI however I am a little disappointed in the color of the melon berry CS compared to the melon berry ink.  The CS is more pinky and the buttons and ink are more orangey.  I wanted the orangey tones so I guess it's the CS tone that I'm disappointed in.  Still a beautiful color... it just doesn't match the ink.  Oh well.

Everything is straight forward with this weeks Card Patterns sketch.  I made my first order from PTI and I have to say that I am in love with their cardstock.  Especially the rustic cream CS.  I just love it!!!  I'm really pleased with the rustic & weathered look the stamps have on the rustic cream.  I already knew that I loved the quality of their stamps but I'll definitely be ordering more of their CS when I get a chance.

I have had the base of this card lying around for a while.  So today I decided to use it on the CPS sketch and turn it into a birthday card.

The Card Patterns sketch this week is pretty straight forward yet still full of possibilitites.   I had a bow on, but took it off because it just didn't seem to work.  Now that the card is photographed, it looks like it needs something.

In high school I loved purple... all shades of purple.  I wore it frequently.  I still have favorite clothes in various shades of purple, but I have precious little purple in my craft supply.  So, I think I need to look for some plum papers and embellishments.  

I used the CPS sketch 141 for a jumping off place.  Then there is the Moxie Fab World Plum Crazy Challenge for the color inspiration.

I just love the color red.  Love it! Even though my card this week is pretty basic, I'm still happy with all the red. The Card Patterns sketch this week was a simple geometric sketch which I always love.

I always start these sketches with the intention of staying spot on the sketch, but then I wander.  Card Patterns sketch 39 is fun and I like what the DT did,  but I wandered.  All supplies by CTMH.
