Peace-Love-Joy Card for Festive Friday

It's Festive Friday time! For Challenge #16 it's a trigger challenge based on the word "Peace."



I decided to make a one-layer card with a die-cut window.



It's hard to tell in the pic but I've sprayed the entire card with Calico Shine mist for a little sparkle.

Ingredients: PTI Peaceful Pinecones, Think Big Favorites #9, LL: Ovals 2.25"; Studio Calico Mr. Huey's Calico Shine spray mist

Happy Thanksgiving card for PTI August Blog Hop



It's time for the PTI August Blog Hop!  I'm getting a jump on my Thanksgiving cards and Nuttie the squirrel makes another appearance!

Here is the sketch/color combo I used:


I have to admit that I don't have all these colors (an excuse to order more paper), so I replaced Limeaid Ice with Spring Moss, Fine Linen with Vintage Cream and for Canyon Clay I found a small scrap of bright orange card stock that I have no idea where it came from but it works!  Here's my card:




Ingredients: PTI Nuts for You, Happy, Limitless Layers 2.5" Circle Dies
