Papertrey January 2012 Blog Hop Challenge



This month's PTI blog hop challenges us to share a favorite project from 2011 and also create something new based on that project.  What a fun challenge.  Since I had already gone through all my projects for the 2011 Retrospective post, this challenge was not as daunting as it might seem at first.  I chose this project from December:


December 2011

I wanted to create a card set using this basic idea, while removing one of the layers to simplify the look.  I need a card set for my 'homework' from my Clean & Simple Card Making Class, and I have been creating several sets to use as teacher gifts.








Here is a (not so great) photo of the entire set.  I will either think of a cute way to package it up, or put it in a clear notecard box before I give it away.    The set has 2 birthday-type greetings, two thank you-type cards, one get-well card and one 'hello' card. 



Supplies Used (PTI):
Stamps:  Background Basics Vines, Think Big Favorites
Paper:  Stampers Select White
Other Copic markers


Thanks for Visiting
