I’m playing along with Papertrey Ink’s blog hop this month. Below is the inspiration picture this month. This challenge was pretty easy for me because this is one of my favorite color combinations.

I used patterned paper from October Afternoon’s Fly a Kite collection. All other products are from Papertrey Ink: Kraft, Aqua Mist, and Summer Sunrise cardstock; Kraft ink; Fillable Frame #6 and Limitless Layers 1 3/4 dies; and 2011 Birthday Tags stamp set.

A couple of weeks ago, my mom and I had a craft day. Here are the cards I made.

The first card is a Birthday using Cricut’s Create a Critter cartridge The frame is from Papertrey Ink. The background paper is from Jillibean Soup’s Spotted Owl pack.

Happy Birthday

The next card is a simple thank you card. I embossed the card using the Swiss Dots folder. The thank you stamp is from Papertrey Ink.

Thank You

This last card is my favorite of the three. I hand cut some rolling hills. The tree and sentiment is from Papertrey’s ink Through the Trees set.

Live for Today

A quick update today with a Valentine’s day card. I used the Fancy Flourishes stamp set and Beautiful Blooms II die #1 from Papertrey Ink. After cutting the flowers, I spritzed them with Glimmer Mist and added the brad.

Happy Valentine's Day

Here is my card, I used Papertrey Ink’s Simple Circle Border die, pure poppy card stock, and vintage cream card stock.

This month my favorite stamp company, Papertrey Ink, is celebrating their 5th anniversary. Over the next ten days they will be announcing what’s coming up in the new year, giving sneak peeks of the new products this month, and having several giveaways!

Today’s challenge is to pick one of the team members favorite projects and use as inspiration for our own creation. I chose the project from Maile Belles. All of her clean and simple creations inspire me. Here is Maile’s card:





Here is what I created.

My Friend



Happy Anniversary to Papertrey Ink and a big thank you to the entire design team for their endless inspiration.

I’ve almost made it through the week! Today’s card features the fish from Tremendous Treats and Tiny Treats. I love how this card came together. The patterned paper is from Echo Park’s Splash 6×6 pad. I colored the fish with Prismacolored pencils and once again tried my hand at some shading.

You're a Great Catch

Welcome to day 5! Today’s card uses the owl image from Tremendous Treats and Tiny Treats. The red panel is felt and was cut out using the Mat Stack 1 die. I colored the owl with Prismacolor pencils. I tried to do some shading on this one with the pencils.

Happy Valentine's Day
