Read More*PTI Blog Hop* – Brown Bag Special!
Hey y’all!
Today I’m joining in on this month’s Papertrey Ink Blog Hop, and I’m super glad you decided to stop by! Let’s get right to it, shall we?
I have to first admit that I was a bit intimidated by the theme, Brown Bag Special, when I first learned of it. “What on earth am I going to do with this?” I said… out loud. Lol. So, feeling a bit uninspired by the theme itself, I decided to pull out my PTI stamps and flip through them until an idea hit me… and it did! I had been neglecting my All Booked Up stamp set, and I decided to get it inky. One reasons I love this stamp set is that it reminds me so much of my daughter Sydney. She’s been a book lover since she could barely crawl! And with that in mind, I came up with today’s project.
By folding two brown, paper bags in half (after cutting off the bottoms) and stapling them together at the fold, I came up with a fun little satchel that Syd can hold on to. I covered it with a piece of card stock and then had some fun makin’ it pretty.
Syd has always had a list of her favorite books. Some she already has in her collection, and some that are still on her wish list. The little library cards inside each pocket of the satchel are a perfect place for Syd to jot down a book that she’s been wanting, so as not to forget. It also gives me a good place to refer to when it’s time to do some birthday shopping. 
When she finally adds the book to her collection, she can take the library card out and use it as a bookmark… and of course add another book to her wish list.
If you have any questions about my project (or anything else), please ask away… I’m always happy to respond to you guys!
Thanks for hopping by!

Read More*PC Card Style* – Shabby Chic
Hey y’all!
I thought I’d start the week off by sharing one of my cards in PC’s Card Style book. If you haven’t checked it out yet, I encourage you to go pick one up – they’re chock full of stylish inspiration! This card was featured in the Shabby Chic & Vintage section, if I remember correctly.
I used some pretty Webster’s Pages paper, some May Arts crochet ribbon, PTI twill, and some Zva Creative jewels to tie it all together. The star of the show (to me) is that beautiful sentiment stamp, which comes from an exclusive stamp set by Clear & Simple Stamps. Be sure to swing by the CSS Store to check out the tons of other stamp sets they have for you to try.
Well, that’s all for me today folks! I’ll be back tomorrow with something fun to share!
