PWCO Super Saturday!

Ever wondered how many cards you could get out of (2) 12 x 12 sheets of DP?  I did...

12 cards later, and every single piece of the DP used, I was about ready to fly to Edmonton to beg Peggy in person for a Zoie the Zebra die!!!  (LOL!)  I didn't add sentiments to any of them, because who knows what I'll use them for... since sentiments are quick to add, I've got most of the card done, and can pop on the appropriate verbage when the time comes!

Supplies Used:
DoodleBug Accent Papers:  Berry Pink & Pink Lemonade Plaid
DoodleBug Fancy Frills:  Strawberry Parfait
PWCO 'Zoie the Zebra'
Spellbinders 'Labels 4'
Cardstock:  PTI 'Raspberry Fizz', 'Stamper's Select White', 'Lemon Tart', 'Sweet Blush'
EK Success Border Punches:  Open Scallop, Deco Scallop
Doilies & Flowers from stash

PTI Sets for Sale!

Hiya!

I bought some PTI sets awhile back, from a charity sale.  I was expecting full sets, in good used condition, however was not impressed with what I received. 

 I didn't want to complain, though, since it had been for charity!

These sets retail for $24 new - after shipping, new labels & new cases, I wound up paying $20/set. 

I'm asking $15 per set + shipping, but am open to offers.

(Shipping will vary depending on how many sets you purchase. 

Canada Post or USPS will be used depending on YOUR location - whichever's cheaper!)

The sets:

Piece of Cake -

PTI 4th Anniversary Celebrations - #1

I'm playing along with the Anniversary Festivities over at PaperTrey Ink this week... Today's challenge was to use the free downloadable sheet of tags by the PTI Designers, for a shot at winning the experience of being able to design your own stamp set for PTI, to be released in May.

You can enter once per image, and I managed to use 8/9 - sorry Alli Miles (the tag she created had the prettiest flower on it, but I hated the way I coloured it, and then ran out of sunlight, so I decided to call it a day, since the photo would be extra-crappy in the end...)

This is Beth Silaika's contribution - it reads 'Once in a while, in the middle of an ordinary life/Life gives us a fairytale' - awwwwwww.......

Supplies used:
PTI Tag Download (Printed on Red River Linen Paper)
PTI 'In Bloom' Patterned Paper
PTI Cardstock - True Black, Raspberry Fizz
PTI Dies:  Limitless Layers 1-3/4" Circles, Mat Stack 1
PTI Woodgrain Impression Plate
