Papertrey ink Birthday Card: Challenge #5

Hello all,

Stopping in to share my Happy Birthday card for Papertrey Ink!  Today's inspiration for my card was my favorite things from Papertrey Ink; Doily dies, Mini Bloom Stamp Set and my all time favorite color is Aqua Blue!  Not the best picture, geez :) 





Here is a picture of me and the card in my craft room.  Can you see the blue on the wall?  Its pretty darn close to Aqua Mist!  :)

Papertrey Ink: Free Image

Hello,

Just popping in to share my card using a FREE image from Papertrey Ink.  I love these free images every year!  Today I chose Betsy Veldman's image,  I was really drawn to her colors and also that fancy lettering! I kept it pretty simple, I stamped Chevron Stripes in Aqua Mist and then added the enamel dots from My Mind's Eye.



Look at all these free images! Super cute and I plan to use them all!



Thanks for stopping in,

Anyway here we go with the first challenge,

Papertrey Ink January Blog Hop



Hello there,

Hopping in to share a card for the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop .


I decided to do a little masking with the PTI Hearts Die and the Mini Blooms Stamps.  I'm in love with the Mini Blooms set.  I am seeing these cute little flowers everywhere.  So trendy!

December 2013 Papertrey Ink Blog Hop


I love putting together pretty packages!  Next to making cards it is my favorite thing to do.
Today, I am sharing some bags I put together for Christmas gifts.

I took a paper lunch bag, cut the end off, folded the bottom over, then did a little sewing and bam a new look!  It was perfect for fitting five cards and five envelopes in.

Happy Birthday with Sassafras


I have seriously been needing to go through my paper scraps.  My storage bin is overflowing right now.  As I was digging through it the other day I came across some Ellie's Tale paper by Sassafras.  Such a cute set, that I have been sitting on way to long.  I added some ribbon from a Studio Calico kit  (Mays Art) and BAM! I was done!
