PTI's 8th Anniversary Day 5 - Spring Into Action - & Kathy's Birthday

My card using the Aloha stamp from PTI.   Some of you may think, hey that's an old set, but somehow I missed and recently saw it on a MIM (I think).  I just got it in the mail on Saturday so decided to use it.  I colored it with Copics, Yg03, 06, 09, R35, 37. 59 & Y35
Pure Poppy Bitty dots paper.
Keep It Simple - Get Well 
I really loved how the first card turned out so made another for a friend of mine who is having a birthday.  These are her colors.

PTI's 8th Anniversary - Day 4 - Build a Bouquet Challenge - And a Day Meeting with Fellow Bloggers.

Day 4 of PTI's Anniversary - Building a Bouquet
I just received my order from PTI and got the Stripes Diagonal Cover Plate and just had to use it over Aqua Mist Bitty Dots paper
Love the shape of this Basic Bookmark #3 which is fairly new for me also.
PTI's Ruby Reprise, Bigger Blooms & Friendly Flowers in Pure Poppy, Lemon Tart, Hawaiian Shores, Berry Sorbet, Orange Zest, Aqua Mist and New Leaf.
Ok I am trying to upload a picture I took with my phone that I emailed to myself and it keeps coming up upside down.  The picture looks right when I go to the file but ends upside down when I try to post it.  I get so frustrated because I am not very computer savvy.
Anyway to tell my story, Julie Ebersole was teaching a class at Impress in Tukwilla, WA and a fellow blogger Kimberly Wierner was taking the class.  She had asked if I was going to be there and I had said no, but I would love to stop by and meet her.  And that's what I did.  My 9 year granddaughter, Avery went with me and we met Kimberly along with Katie Brooks, Amy Tsuruta and Julie Ebersole We had our picture taken with Kimberly and Julie.  It was awesome to be in the same room with all of those talented ladies.  I really wish I could get the picture to turn out right side up and believe me I tried rotating it several times.

PTI's 8th Anniversary - Day 3 Bagged + Tag Challenge

My bag and tag for Day 3 of PTI's anniversary
PTI's Front & Back die, Filled with Joy, Phrase Play #5 in Berry Sorbet & Hawaiian Shores.
I've had this die cut for a long time but couldn't remember how to use it.  Had to text my friend, Colleen, to find out what to do with it.  You sandwich it around a lunch bag.  As soon as she started telling me, it all came back to me.  How soon we forget.  Guess I should use it more often.
