Papertrey Ink January Blog Hop

Hello again!  I'll be back soon to share some more of my recent cards, but today I wanted to participate in the Papertrey Ink January Blog Hop.

Isn't this the cutest inspiration photo?  I just love stripes and the black/white/pink color combo is one of my favorites.  Here's my take on it...

Dies used:  Floral Fusion and Leafy Branch (Stampin' Up!)

Goodbye to 2016...

I'm back today with a few of the cards I made for Christmas 2016.  :)  I wasn't able to make cards for a while so I got back into it by using my pinterest boards as inspiration.  

To start with, I loved this card and especially the snowmen in the circle (Lawn Fawn's Making Frosty Friends), so first I made one like that, and then just made a bunch of circles and colored them while I was watching cheesy Christmas movies on Hallmark channel for the month of December.  :)  I have the Spectrum Noir pens instead of Copics, because of the price, but they seem to do a great job blending and I like them so far.

 I thought this was a great use for the snowflake brads I bought several years ago when I thought they were cute but had no idea how I'd use them...

I made several variations on the one above.  This next one uses an oval instead of a circle but the idea is the same.

Can you tell I was having fun trying different things? :) 

I'll be back soon with some more...

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy New Year!

I haven't posted in a while but I'm back today with some cards I made last week.  Soon I will be sharing the Christmas cards I made for 2016, so check back again.  :)  

For Christmas, I received Papertrey's Oval: You've Been Framed die and stamp set.  I had fun playing around with that last week while catching up on Hallmark movies.  I love how different it can look based on the papers and colors you use. 

Stamp set:  Simply Scrumptious- Clearly Besotted
