January 2012 Papertrey Ink Blog Hop

Usually there is a inspiration photo for each month's Blog Hop challenge but this month the inspiration was to go back and find your favorite project and use that as inspiration for a new version of the card.  My favorite project/card from last year was one I made for a monthly challenge I do with some other PTI forum friends called "4 of a Kind".  Each month one of us is the host and sends out kits and we all make at least one card using 4 of the elements. So here is my favorite card from 2011...



Here is my take on a new and inspired version of it...on this card I am using a homemade button made by my friend Joyce from Cards-by-the-Sea...she is so talented and creative. I changed up the color scheme too to make it more of a spring time card and the soft pink button that Joyce made are just perfect for it.


Ingredients
Solid Card Stock: PTI - White, Spring Moss and Sweet blush
Printed Paper: PTI Polka Dot Parade
Stamps: PTI - Button Boutique and Beyond Basic Borders
Ink: SU - Regal Rose and VersaFine - Black
Doily: Michael's

    I remember that original! 4 of a Kind, right? Your remake card is just as good, and I love the button that Joyce made for you. I always love the doily with the button card and pinked square.

    I remember that original card. I think I pinned it twice. Your new card is so pretty. I love the polka dot paper with button boutique. You are so good about using that set. I'm so glad to see you are still enjoying those buttons. I actually pulled one out yesterday in green to put on Sarah's soccer team manager's thank you card.
