Papertrey Ink Make It Monday #217 Make Your Own Borders


Hello...if you have not watched this week's MIM video by Laurie you need to take a few minutes to do it, the link is here. What a very cool idea of making your own border! This was so much fun and I can't wait to make more. When I saw Laurie's soccer balls, I thought ohhhh, I can use baseballs and use PTI's 7th Inning Stretch. It is the perfect set for this technique but like Laurie says you can really use any stamp! Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy your weekend!



I finished my daughter's plaid flannel blouse today...I love the fabric, Britex hands down has the best plaid flannel around. 


I also have 2 new followers that I would like to welcome...Corinna from Corinna Coffee & Creations and SmilynStef from Jingle Bells. Be sure to check out both of these talented ladies blog, they are both amazing! Thank you two again, I am so honored!

Ingredients
Solid Card Stock: Michael's - White and PTI - Pure Poppy
Stamps: PTI - 7th Inning Stretch
Dies: PTI - Double Ended Banner and Spellbinders - Circles
Ink: SU - Real Red, Chocolate Chip and Baked Brown Sugar

    Every time I see a baseball game on TV, I think of you. This card is perfect, and what a fun border those baseballs make. Love this fun birthday card. And, Ashleigh is so lucky to have a mom who is such a talented fashion designer!

    Would be a tough, tough choice if I had to pick either the cozy, flannel shirt or your fabulous b-ball card! I'm so glad you shared the link to Laurie's video because not only did I learn how to make a sweet border but I also learned how to make a banner with a square punch! Thanks for sharing Kim :)
