Valentine from a forum friend

Huge shout out to Sue Ann from the PTI blog! She sent me this great package since my assigned swap partner didn't. Love the card, love the goodies, love the bling, love the thought! Thanks again Sue Ann!

Valentines for the Family

I have to say, I think I outdid myself this year! Thanks to Heather Nichols, who inspired my mini scrapbook! This one, for hubby, has photos of our years of travel; some just the 2 of us, some with DD.

Here's Hubby's card - had fun lining the envelope with matching paper!

And here's DD's card. More paper-lined envelope goodness!

A few bookmarks as well. The top photo is the back of the one on the right, above.

Finally, here's an assortment of other family Valentine's cards!

Supplies:
Ribbon: Hibiscus Burst Grosgrain (PTI)
Felt: Pure Poppy (PTI)
Buttons: Hibiscus Burst (PTI)

A new feature from PTI - videos for Make It Monday. Hope I can keep up! My go-to sentiment is Happy Birthday.

Ink: Hibiscus Burst
Felt: Raspberry Fizz

Pink Rhinestones

Favorite Papertrey Ink Project

So for the big Papertrey contest, we need to post our favorite project of the past year. Really hard to choose, but since I love their dies and love their felt, I chose a project that used both! These were the favors for DD's bday party - a unique set of hairclips for each girl. Was a bit time consuming, but soooooo worth it! 

Enjoy!

PTI January Blog Hop

With the new year comes a clean slate along with many resolutions.  This month's blog hop challenge involves you challenging yourself to use a Papertrey stamp set that has yet to see ink or even one that might be collecting a little dust!  Go through your stash and see what little used treasure it might hold.

So, here goes:

Supplies:
Paper: Berry Sorbet, Hibiscus Burst, Ocean Tides (PTI); white
Stamps: Guide Lines 2, Mat Stack 3
Dies: Mat Stack 3, Beautiful Blooms 3

Headband

Test run for a Girl Scout project for DD's Troop. used a black-covered headband, wrapped in ribbon, & attached a (yes it's blue) butterfly. Decided it needed some bling, so we added rhinestones. Looks awesome on DD, if I do say so myself.

Supplies:

Headband: Goody (Target)
Ribbon: Hibiscus Burst Grosgrain (PTI)
Felt: Blueberry Sky (PTI)
Die: Signature Series: Butterfly (PTI)
Other: Scor-Tape (1/4"); Rhinestones
