Over at PTI's 5th Anniversary celebration, today's challenge is to use Pinterest for inspiration.  I used Erin Lincoln's inspiration piece to come up with this card:


I'm sooo glad that I had not cut apart my alphabet dies yet!  And I'm so glad that I'm playing along with the anniversary challenges.  I've made 4 cards this week, and usually I'm lucky to find time to make a single card.

My plan is to make a Valentine for every day of the challenge so that I actually have some cards when the big day rolls around.

PTI 5th Anniversary - Day 1

Papertrey Ink is kicking off their 5th anniversary celebration today with a challenge to use inspiration from their design team's favorite projects.  I chose Jessica Witty's Valentine-ish project. 
And here's my take:

I didn't stray far from her design since I started my project at 10pm tonight.  The color scheme is way outside my normal comfort zone, but I already had the red and orange die cuts on my desk.  (The orange is the negative from the Hearts border die.)  And I really didn't want to haul out my Cuttlebug considering that I should be sleeping.  So definitely not my usual project, but I kinda like it.

Jennifer

Ink:  Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, Early Espresso (SU!), Versamark
