Peeps Challenge #19

This is for the Peeps challenge to use Negative Space.  Thanks, Aimes, for a great challenge!  I actually used two negatives here, the obvious (I hope) is the Christmas tree die cut, but I also used a star burst bunch (and some extra holes made with a cropadile) to "decorate" the tree and let the white base layer show through.  I finished it off with some ric-rac garland and a double ended banner for the sentiment. 

I really wish I would have used Avocado or Chartreuse for the tree.  I'm just not sure about the Pinefeather.  I kept punching holes and stamping swirls to cover it up!

In an effort to blog more, I'm skipping the supply lists. Most of this is PTI, but please leave questions about specifics or PM me on the PTI forum.

Peeps Challenge #7...and #18

This is for the Papertrey Peeps Challenge #7: Inspiring Life. Nerina posted the challenge to use an inspiration photo from Creative Mint. I selected this photo:

I loved the colors and the scrappiness of it. I created this card, using cardstock scraps from other projects.

I actually created this card ages ago, but I couldn't find the photo and I had already mailed the actual card!  I just noticed  that this also fits the Peeps Challenge # 18, to use a card with pink in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  Since I'm so far behind I am double dipping!
