PTI SAF Make-n-Take - Celebrate Today

I was very happy to have received my PTI July purchases on Friday, a day before the Stamp-a-faire. Didn't expect to receive my order this quick this month as it usually takes longer. I don't have the Natural Beauties stamp set yet so I decided to use my new stamp set The Sweet Life. This is my current favorite and will be one of my most used stamp set. Simply LOVE the dimensional look. I'm still trying to get the hang of using this stamp especially the 3rd step stamping.

Anyway, here is my card:

* I didn't realize the submission of this card is earlier than the rest. So I didn't make it in time. Nevertheless, it was still fun to create this card.

2012 PTI SAF Meet & Greet

This is my first summer camp with Papertrey Ink. I started crafting only around June 2011 so it's just a year now. Papertrey Ink has become my favorite stamp company with most of my stamp sets from them too.

I'm actually from Singapore currently residing in Idaho, USA. It's been 2 1/2 years since I came to the US and I'll be going back home to Singapore end of this year. Crafting was just coming along in Singapore before I left and scrapbooking was more in trend than card making. I came to US with scrapbooking in mind as I wanted to document my stay here but I started delving into card making first as scrapbooking seemed more intimidating and I really love the idea of personalized cards for my family and friends.

I love the crafting community here and everyone is just so generous with sharing techniques, tips and tricks that I learnt so much just within this 1 year of crafting. I'm happy to be bringing the knowledge that I have and continue when I go back home.

I'm currently using my coffee table as my crafting table, using a portion of the living room for my crafting tools & stuffs:

My PTI Stamp Collection (Thanks to the suggestions from PTI Forum, I can now store more stamps and not worry about space.)

My PTI Paper and Cardstock Collection

Have a great SAF day! And I'll be looking forward to seeing the beautiful creations and getting inspiration from all participants and the design team.
