PTI Color Combos



Tonight the PTI Design Team and Nichole are posting projects using our personal favorite color combos. I'm picking a classic combo this year of Ripe Avocado, Ocean Tides, Dark Chocolate, and Vintage Cream.  It's sure to please, easy to work with,  and appropriate for just about any occassion.

And here's another photo of my project. Using some oldie but goodie PTI sets--Shapes by Design and Text Boxed. Two I bought myself way back yonder in time. Believe it or not, I have revisited  both of these over the years to create new and modern projects. The graphic style of both lends itself to many styles. Love 'em.

I just wanted to say thank you for the warm reception I received in the last 24 hours for the new Papertrey Radio series. It was looking a wee bit hairy there around 1 AM Monday morning, but luckily it all came together in the end. Remember to call in to our Google Voice account with your questions. The number is (301) 799-8338. The Q&A is probably the most fun to listen to, so help me keep it going:). 


Thanks again for stopping by. See you soon with some new projects....almost release time you know. :)  And don't forget to swing by Nichole's blog and enter the contest today. Always something fun being given away during the anniversary celebration.

Supplies:
Stamps: Text Boxed and Shapes by Design
Ink: Ripe Avocado, Dark Chocolate, and Ocean Tides
Topnotch Twill in Dark Chocolate
Vintage Cream and Ocean Tides Cardstock
Ripe Avocado Button

    This card caught my eye right away on Nichole's blog Erin. A lovely balance of color and design! Text boxed has always been one of my favorites and I too love pulling it out for some "air time!"

    First of all, love the card & color combo...but I wanted to thank you for putting together the radio and video shows!!! I just LOVED them ;-) I was a little skeptical about the radio at first, but it was really informative and fun, so I'm glad I gave it a chance, cause I loved it! Thanks again for all the time & effort ;-)

    Hi Erin - Love this card and color combo. I posted on Nichole's blog yesterday about PTI Radio, but just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed the podcast. You could hear the guests relaxing and sounding more natural as your conversation with them progressed. That's a credit to you. I called in with some questions yesterday. Fun times!

    Don't know when you had time to make a card. I was thinking this morning all that was involved in your video and radio podcast. I have made a couple little videos and it took FOREVER, especially learning how to do it. Your card today is really modern-looking. I love that you used older sets to make it. Great job on this again, Erin.

    The colors are wonderful together and does seem to be a "classic" that never goes out of style. I enjoyed the first podcast, and all the questions helped me as I am a "newbie."

    Just wanted you to know how much I enjoyed the radio show you put together. You're a fun "hip" host/hostess? for the program. It 's a great way to keep in touch with everyone and adds another fun layer of interaction with all of us out here. Truly enjoyable. I'm working on some questions for you...

    And your cards? lovely as usual
