Hey there, Chickadee! I think that is such a fun sentiment to send someone. So, as you all saw I received my order from PTI. Yesterday, I got a chance to make a couple of cards. Here is the first one I made. I think these birds are my favorite of the last purchase. I can't wait to ink it up again. I also made another card, but I'll share that one later.
What do you think about the pleated ribbon using staples? Just would like to know if you think it looks weird. I thought it looked neat, but it could be a bit over-the-top!
Last night, I moved another cabinet into my studio. Finally, some more progress. I'm getting there! Just a few more items to move and install, then I'll do a video and pictures for you all to see! I just want to warn you, it's nothing all fancy and organized, but it's the way I work!
Thanks for visiting and leaving comments!! Enjoy your Friday EVE! :)

I do my scrapbooking digitally - and I almost always reach for the stapled ribbon files to use as embellishments on my pages. I love this!!

Hey I was just at the 2 Sketches 4 You blog and there was an entry for a Ashley Nguyen Newell. I clicked on it, but it wasn't you! Isn't that weird?! :)

I am trying to REDUCE my PTI order and this is not helping! LOL! I love your card!
I think the staples are amazing!!! Oh, I love this bird set! I'm really into birds. I enjoyed watching your video yesterday. You are so cute!
Ashley, thanks for your comment and your list of supplies you would bring. It was very helpful! I have thought of filling a box or two of stuff. I have a question for you: how do I clean my PTI stamps right after use? Do you use baby wipes? What's the best way to clean them? How about the acrylic block that you use to stamp? Thanks!
Very cute!! Love those birds and trying not to order them! lol!
Wow! you sure broke into those PTI stamps quickly missy! hehe. I love the birdies, they are so adorable! And it seems like it took a while to staple the ribbon but it's gorgeous! FYI: Like Winter I saw the other Ashley Nyugen Newell, but I didn't want to tell you, lol. Now I see what you really mean about yer name! teehee. but there's only one of YOU! that's for sure!
