Papertrey Ink January 2019 Blog Hop

Good morning...popping in today with my card for this months Papertrey Ink Blog Hop. Just love the cake that was used for the inspiration photo, so yummy! I used my favorite PTI flowers for my card, Gran's Garden and embossed the background with tiny dots. The lower edge is Ombre Builders stamps.  The sentiment is Graceful Greetings.

Hello...popping in with my card for this month's Blog Hop at Papertrey Ink. The paper for the tea cup was made at Tracey's, she was giving us a lesson on using alcohol inks and swiping the card stock over it, love the incredible look it created. I saved the paper for future use and thought is would be perfect for this month's challenge. The flowers are from Papertrey Ink - One Big Happy and the sentiments are from Heart-2-Heart #4 and Ways to Say Thank You.

PaperTrey Ink November 2016 Blog Hop

Wow....can you believe that Thanksgiving is now behind us and Christmas is only one month away. I hope all my US friends had a very blessing Thanksgiving holiday. Today is Black Friday, my family has some fun traditions for today, will share photos at a later post. I have been spending the week getting most of our Christmas decorations up and should be finished by December 1st. Love the look of our home all decked out for the holidays, so festive. 

I have one tag to share today for this months PapertreyInk Blog Hop, I have not played along in some time but when I saw the incredible inspiration photo, I knew just what I wanted to make. I pulled out PTI's Warmest Wishes and used this sweet collection of trees. I added the sentiment at the lower edge and used white heat embossing for the wee snowflakes at the top. A few coats of clean Wink of Stella and done!

Can you see all the wonderful sparkles? Love this look!

I am also entering my tag is Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags.

Papertrey Ink Anniversary Hop - Day 2

Hello and happy Sunday. I spent the day with a very dear friend of mine, we are working on a quilt together for a friend of hers. I am crossing my fingers she won't be upset that I am posting a couple of photos. We really had a blast, spent more time laughing than sewing to be honest with you.

 Arlene trying to thread her bobbin, that only took forever, just kidding!

lunch out at Togo's, ate healthy, had a salad.

Day 2's challenge was to take a piece of clothing and use it to inspire a card. I choose a sweater from my last Stitch Fix box that I love, this has to be the warmest sweater I have ever had and it is so soft too. I love this sweater die and somewhere along the line I lost the dies for the collar and cuff so I just improvised.

Ingredients

Solid Card Stock: Michael's - White and PTI - Pure Poppy

Stamps: PTI - Background Basics: Striped Sweater

Dies: PTI - Sweater and MFT - Stitched Heart

Ink: VersaFine - Black and SU - Real Red

December 2015 Papertrey Ink Blog Hop

Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday with your family and friends. We had a fabulous day. I have 4 cards to share, I was running very low on hand made Christmas cards so I pulled out the Tinsel and Tags patterned paper from PTI (thought this paper went well with the plates in the inspiration photo), used their Tag Sale #4 die. added a bit of ribbon and twine and there you have it! Quick and easy and 4 cards ready in no time at all...and ready for this month's PTI Blog Hop!

Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by...enjoy the rest of your weekend!

Wanted to share a few photo's from our trip to San Francisco on Christmas Eve...lunch at Lefty O'Doul's with Patrick O'Doul himself! What a wonderful honor to spend the afternoon with Patrick and my sweet family. They even had snow! A dream come true for me.
