Hey!
Firstly, sorry so much for the delay in posting this! I’m back at work now and still in the process of moving apartments – oh excuses, excuses I know, I’m just being a bad blogger aren’t I? LOL! I PROMISE to be more organised from this day forward – honest!
I was overwhelmed with the amount of entries and stunning CAS cards for the last challenge – you all really captured the CAS style so well!
Well I hope you’re all ready for the next challenge?! This week there’s no excuse for not playing along because this week we want you to create a card using your favourite colour. This challenge should get your mojo going if you can indulge in your fave colour to start with!
Firstly my fave colour without a doubt is green! Some say I like it because I can turn into a green-eyed monster at times but I say I like it because it’s fresh and fun just like PTI’s Leaf Green *drool*!
Here’s my example (ignore the chaos in the background – I’ll explain later!):
Recipe: (All Papertrey Ink unless otherwise stated)
Stamps – On My Couch
Card – Kraft/New Leaf/Pure Poppy/Enchanted Evening
Ink – Memento Black/Fresh Snow
Other – Enchanted Evening Satin Ribbon/Circle Nestability/Vellum/£10 LOL!
Here’s Kate’s – using her all-time favourite and beloved Aqua Mist 😉 (No surprises there then Kate LOL!)
Recipe: (All Papertrey Ink unless otherwise stated)
Stamps – In Bloom
Ink – Memento Tuxedo Black
Card – Kraft/Vintage Cream
Ribbon – Vintage Cream
Other – Copic Markers/sewing machine/adhesive pearls/Martha Stewart border punch/corner rounder punch
Now here’s the deets, the challenge ends at 9am BST on Monday 21st September. An entry will be randomly selected to win a selection of PTI Cardstock, Designer Paper and Ribbon (The prize can only be shipped within Europe – sorry!) To enter for a chance to win or just to share your creativity (entries worldwide are welcome for just fun!), simply leave a comment with a link to your entry via a blog post or online gallery. To qualify all entries must use at least one PTI product!
I can’t wait to see all your favourite colours – how many more green fans are there out there?

What a great new challenge and such lovely cards from both of you! Now, there's a though decision to be made: What's my favorite of all the wonderful PTI colors?
I love New Leaf, too! I need to be better at using it, though… I tend to hoard the colors I like.Aimes, your money-behind-the-cushion card is so clever! Kate, what an elegant card!
Hi there,since some time I am following your blog and this is the first time, that I participate. MY CARD Now you deceide yourself, if I am allowed to participate… I live in Egypt, but because of the bad post situation here, I get all my goods delivered to my German adress and my family brings it over on their visits. So, somehow I am still German 😉
Blue and brown, this is one of my favourite color combos. I made a tag for a gift set and the buttons are PTI. Here is the link:http://basteltinchen.blogspot.com/2009/09/komposition-in-blau-und-braun.htmlHugs, Tina
First chance to play now I have my goodies from Steph – oh loved every part of putting all my stamps in the little CD case etc.Anyway here is my cardLinbyx
I did this card in Spring Rain and I am so in love with it I have it sitting on my bureau so I can look at it all the time! Something about kraft and that pale blue that is just so striking…… (and normally I do not go for light blue). Thanks for the inspiration! (from the USA)

It's me again. I love to play, even though I am not trying to "win" – I live in the USA. My colors always involve kraft and red.. I did a little birthday card for my nephew that is turning 3 tomorrow! He loves cars and I found this cute punch from Martha Stewart.. Hope you like it. All the ink is PAPERTREY INK, as are the sentiments!http://laurelbeard.wordpress.com/2009/09/17/vroom-vroom/
