Papertrey March 2013 Blog Hop

The March PTI Blog Hop challenges us to use sequins.  Boy was that a challenge.  I have them but have been a reluctant user.  I like how the card turned out but keep on worrying that the sequins are going to pop off.  So far so good.  Challenges are supposed to make you stretch yourself….check that off for yesterday.  It was a stretch, but a good one.  Happy Monday!

Design Team Favorites – Take 5

I’ve got one more card tonight and it’s based on Betsy’s flipping out card.  I went for a simplified look with the attempt at waves using pattern paper and sandals.  Can’t say I love it but you got to be willing to show the bad sometimes too….so here you go.  Here’s Betsy’s beautiful card that was the inspiration.

Enjoy the Papertrey 6th Anniversary festivities. Talk about endless inspiration from the design team and all the challenge submittals. Wow!

Design Team Favorites – Take 4

Here’s a card I did based on Melissa’s sketch shown HERE.  I love Melissa’s cards but typically don’t try to copy them since when I try to add embellishments to my cards that are more than glitter, bling or ribbon, I’m in trouble.  But Melissa can add layers and vintage and it pulls the whole look together and makes it wow.  So opted to simplify her card layout and set it up as a horizontal rather than vertical.

It’s fun and simple card but I like it.  Hope you are enjoying all of the Papertrey 6th Anniversary festivities!

I went even simpler with this card but love the colors and flowers that are across the bottom.  It would be a great thinking of you card.  Have a great evening!
