Papertrey January blog hop challenge

 
Hi there and thanks for visiting.  This month's challenge was to ink up a stamp set that hasn't seen much use.

I immediately knew that I should break out A Little Argyle.  I have to confess that I've only used it once (not very successfully)!  I seem to have an argyle mental block.  So this was the perfect challenge.


Here's what I came up with:

Supplies
Paper - PTI vintage cream, aqua mist, ocean tides
Stamps - PTI A Little Argyle, Layers of Color Architectural Blocks
Ink - Versafine onyx black
Accessories -PTI aqua mist satin ribbon, foam tape

Papertrey November blog hop challenge

 
Hi and welcome. This month's challenge was to design a holiday tag using some of our favourite products.

Perfect timing because I needed to make some tags for work gifts. This year I'm making chocolate cookies and other homemade treats for some of my co-workers.  The recipe for the cookies is from Nigella Lawson and the cookies are just divine! (You can download a copy of the recipe below).

So, here are my cookies:

And here are two of my tags.  I cut a jar layer from acetate (used the clear boxes PTI stamps come in) to layer over the stamped jar and give it that shiny look:

Supplies
Paper - SU Kraft, cosmo cricket jolly by golly patterned paper
Stamps - PTI firendship jar, friendship jar holiday fillers
Ink - versafine onyx black, memento lady bug, memento cottage ivy, stazon (for jar lid)
Accessories - PTI friendship jar die, jar label die, acetate, Quickkutz metal sheets, SU riding hood red striped grosgrain, PTI rustic cream button twine, green & red stickles, dimensionals.
