Playing with new PTI stuff

I finally got my PTI order today--it seemed like it took forever, but I hear they had quadruple the normal number of orders this month. Hooray for them! Anyway, I was so excited to try Giga Guide Lines and Mish's notepads/Take Note set. Here's my quick first try (I wanted to be able to attach a pen, so I left a loop on the side with the ribbon which ties all the way around):

This card is one I quickly came up with for others to mass produce at a craft night for my church next month. It uses my favorite PTI color combination--Sweet Blush, Berry Sorbet and Dark Chocolate. I looked and looked for the right size sentiment for the label, and I decided that one of my faves from Stampin' Up--Sincere Salutations--would do nicely. I added a little sparkle to the centers with a clear Stardust pen.
Notebook:
Paper: PTI White, Berry Sorbet, Sweet Blush

Other: PTI Berry Sorbet satin ribbon, PTI notebook, 1 3/4" and 2" circle punches

    That color combo *is* pretty! Love the Giga pattern. Thanks for the inspiration. I opened mine and my mind went completely blank, so I need to go back and check all of the dt blogs.

    Nice job. I really wanted that set but passed on it because I could not afford 3 this month. It is still in my cart though. Thanks for the inspiration.
    By the way congrats on your GSS win!

    I love how you used that Giga stamp, so pretty. I can't wait to make a notebook, I really like how you tied the pen to the side. Great idea!

    I just got my PTI notepads in the mail yesterday. Now I'm even more excited to get playing with them. Great idea with the pen attached outside the pad. Love your 'clean' style as well!

ELC Look On the Bright Side Kit

Hi friends,  Erin Lee Creative has a fantastic new kit today which coordinates with the previously-released Somewhere Kit .  It's called Look On the Bright Side , and it has a die, stencil and stamp sets with the most perfect sentiments for encouragement cards.  There is also a rainbow alphabet set available as an add-on.   Join us in our blog hop today and comment to enter for a giveaway (see below). Isn't this a great kit? My first card uses the rainbow burst stencil.  I pounced white ink through the stencil, then I used Polychromos pencils to color over the white ink.  This technique allows the color to stand out on dark cardstock.  Of course I had to add a little shine and glitter, so I colored over parts of the rainbow and rays with a shimmer pen. My next two cards were inspired by a T-shirt ad I came across, and I loved the ombré of skin tones.  I really believe that good things are coming, and I absolutely believe that we rise by lift...
