Papertrey Feb 2017 Blog Hop

Well,  I made a card last night when I had a few minutes and planned to post it this morning, but my new computer crashed today.  Computer problems can be so frustrating!  It's gonna be awhile until that is fixed, so I'm back on my old computer that also has issues, we'll hope for the best!

I just started participating in these blog hops with an inspiration photo and they are a lot of fun.  When I'm not feeling very creative I have a tendency to just case something cute I've seen on pinterest, but this forces me to be a little bit more creative and get outside my comfort zone.  It's really amazing to see how many different cards can be inspired by the very same picture! 

I have definitely been in a mostly white background rut lately and so I especially liked the inspiration photo this month.  I purchased my first few sets of Papertrey stamps this year so I didn't have a lot to choose from, but thought the Easter Alleluias set could work with a royal Easter-y feel.

Here's my take on it.  

Thanks for stopping by!

February Valentines

Hello again.  I'm back today to share some Valentines I made this month.  This first one uses the You've Been Framed:  Oval die, a heart punch from Stampin' Up! and Heart die from Clear & Simple Stamps.

This next one features a mouse blowing bubbles stamp I've had for years and decided to pull out again.

Here is another with the You've Been Framed: Oval die and Clear and Simple heart dies.

And lastly, here is another with the mouse stamp.  

Which one is your favorite?  Thanks for stopping by!
