PTI Blog Hop

Happy Friday! I hope you all had a great week! It's been pretty rainy here all week but the sun is shining today! I Hope that it sticks around this weekend!

Today Papertrey Ink is hosting it's monthly blog hop.

I ♥ ♥ ♥ the colors and patterns in the inspiration photo this month! When I saw the stacked bowls and the scalloped edges I knew I just had to use a layered flower for the focal image of my card. 

I used Spring Moss cardstock, one of my favorite shades of green. Here's a close up photo. I used my nestabilities dies to cut the flower die cuts and then spritzed them with water, and scrunched each piece before layering them using foam tape. 

It's just after 1 P.M. here and there are already over 100 entries submitted for the blog hop. Don't forget to stop by Nichole's blog to check them out. Thanks for stopping by today! 

Make It Monday

Hi ya'll!  Yep, I'm back :) 

It rained pretty much most of the weekend here so I spent some time in my craft room. I sorted through things, updated my wish lists, and did some blog hopping.

I also had an interesting conversation with my son. He asked me why I had a scrap room "since I don't scrap any more." So NOT fair for him to call me out like that! LOL But it's true, I haven't scrapped in awhile, so I'm going to be working on that. 

Today I'm going to share a card with you that I created for PaperTrey Ink's Make it Monday challenge. This weeks challenge is to create a background pattern using stamps that aren't necessarily background stamp images. 

For my card I used the area rug from On My Couch Additions.I inked the stamp using black ink staggering the image on each line and then inked the edges. LOVE how this turned out. It kinda reminds me of a Basic Grey pattern :) This was a fun challenge, a great way to look at your stamps a little differently. Hope you'll get a chance to play along too. Thanks for looking!

My new love...

 

 

Black cardstock!

Isn't it lovely how that pink color just POPS  :) My Michael's is carrying some new products in the scrap isle... Studio G unmounted rubber stamps, and they are really cute!!! Some are $1.00 each and some are priced at $2.99. The flowers stems on this image is from one of the $1.00 sets, but I added some flowers using the little flower from PTI's Life stamp set. I also found these black & pink alpha stickers in the $1.00 bin this past winter. I'm glad to have found a use for them :) 

Thanks for looking!
