Papertrey Ink February 2013 Blog Hop!

Florals + monograms = endless possibilities! The February challenge was to use letter stamps or die alphabets to create something monogrammed. I loved the shape of the tag in the inspiration photos and wanted to us my new Papertrey Mini Blooms set. And, oh my..... there has been a major floral explosion in my crafting area (and, hopefully, many more projects in the works!). Take a peek at all of the beautiful inspiration over at the Papertrey February Blog Hop! 

AEI♥U Challenge- February 2013

Another beautiful photo inspiration for the AEI♥U Challenge. I love the pink/orange combination.... so spring-y (which has me longing to be far, far away from the chill and dreariness of upstate NY in February)! Here's
to brighter, sunnier days!

Patience is a Virtue

While waiting ever so patiently for Papetrtrey Ink's newest releases, I was compelled to recreate Ashley's beautiful card! 

SO excited to see Maille and Dawn's latest designs - I'll soon be in floral heaven!

 

PTI Watercolor Challenge

Papertrey Ink's Anniversary celebration continues! The challenge of the day was to incorporate a watercolor technique in a project.
Ahhh... so much easier said than done.
I love the watercolor dots on this card, which was my jumping off point. In addition, Nichole designed 5 sketches for the PTI Anniversary Celebration/February release (yup... missed that challenge!), and a good layout usually helps me in creating. I used sketch #1 for my inspiration!

Cloud9 Blog Hop - February 2013

Yay.... so glad to be contributing to the  Cloud9 Blog Hop! 

I love Wplus9 Designs (and need a few more lacy and flower-y sets, and perhaps some of their loverly white pigment ink too!) and used my Folk Florals and Fresh Picked stamps to create this card. Please join in the fun and take a gander at some of the February Blog Hop loveliness!

PTI Anniversary Celebration-Day 2, v.2

Lots more freebie love from Papertrey Ink's Day 2 celebration!  This graphic is from Melissa Bickford..... and seeing this little teacup makes me wonder what wonderful $5 mini sets/series she has in store for 2013!

PTI Anniversary Celebration-Day 2

It is the Day 2 Anniversary celebration over at PTI! I chose the graphic from Heather Nichols and created a birthday card heavily inspired by Ashley Cannon Newell. I am hoping to have time to create a few more projects with some of the fabulous freebies!
