Happy Birthday, Dad!


Good Evening! I'm so happy to get the chance to play in this month's bloghop for Papertrey Ink! You can find all the wonderful participants and their creations here.

My dad's birthday is May 7th, so I thought I'd create a card for him. He's a special person, a great dad and I love him so much!! I used paper scraps for my card and three different Papertrey Ink stamp sets to create it. I really like to use kraft for a masculine card so I started with that as my base. I matted two pieces of scrap paper from my stash and stamped the fillable frame with a nod to Mish's great style! Then I stamped the stars and punched them out. It's so great that the stamped images fit right within the punch lines. Then I used pop dots to pop up the sentiment and stars at different heights...probably hard to tell that in the photo. Then I was done!!! Such fun! It was one of those nights when I didn't know if I had any mojo in me, but I'm happy with this card.

Thanks for coming to look:)

September 2010 Papertrey Ink Blog Hop!

Hello! I'm excited to be participating in my first Papertrey Ink Blog Hop!!! To get a chance to see all the wonderful creations, please go to Nichole's blog. We were challenged to share techniques that we learned from other crafters. My current crafting inspiration is Michelle Wooderson. You can check out her blog here. I love her mix-matchy style and the way she incorporates vintage and unique items in her work. I'm sure she'll be my inspiration for years to come!! The tickets that I used on this card are from her Etsy shop.

I'm off to see everyone's wonderful creations! I can't wait:)
