Fabulous projects Ashley! You really did an amazing job showcasing all these products! PTI was sure fortunate to have you as their Guest!

Carol's Ink Spot said...

Every one of the projects posted are wonderful. I appreciate you doing clean and simple as I have a hard time keeping to that style.

Sandy said...

OH my goodness, all these cards are just amazing. Your work is so beautiful. I sure hope one day you join that team of designers! I do love your videos, too. You're so sweet!

nancy said...

Your creations are always wonderful, but what I really appreciate about your work is that there is usually one special something that causes me to linger. With the first card, it was your use of the rainbow as scallops. With the second card, it was the multicolored background paper. I love how that looks. And with the third project, it was your subtle use of lemon tart against the vintage cream. Thank you for sharing, Ashley.

BeverlyBL said...

Wow! What a bunch of great projects. Your stationary box is very cool and I love the post card background on the Aloha card. Very cute card.

Brittney said...

Ashley all of your work with the PTI release is great. I especially love the post card background. I have been a follower of yours for years and you never disappoint.

Alice said...

super cards! thanks for sharing!

Michelle said...

Oh I love to give gift sets of cards too...I mean I would...but you have to make them flat like that. Did it bother you at all because your cards usually have so much stuff on them. The embossing does really make them. That's an adorable little set. The ruffles on the card box is fantastic.

Create Fabulous said...

That postcard background is delicious...I am just wowed every time I see one of your cards!

Heather P. said...

Awesome cards, Ash! LOOOOOVE how you used the rainbow image to make scallops! :)

Tiffany Pastor said...

Hey Ashley,
I absolutely LOVE your designs!! I have used your ribbon ruffle on several cards and love it every time! I have loved all your designs for PTI and will miss all your contributions! But I will just follow your blog anyway since you have such a fresh style! Love it! I will look forward to your inspirations in the future!

Taheerah said...

All of these cards just exude your signature style Ashley, I just love them all! My favourite is the Up, Up & Away one though, just love those bright colours!

I'm so sad that your time as PTI Guest Designer is over already. It really seems to have flown by! Of all the Guest DT that there've been I have to say that you've been my favourite without doubt. I know you'll still be buying PTI goodies though so I look forward to seeing what you create in the future!

Shauna said...
