Papertrey Inc. Hello everyone, Today's the day for Papertrey Inc. blog hop.  Above is the picture of our inspiration, pinks, cream, white, blues, greens, flowers, polka dots, strips and more if you look closer. On my card I choose to use cream, white, pinks, green and flowers.  I started with Mat stack #3 die, garden variety stamp set and die, the sentiment is from inside and out birthday.  There are 3 half doilies underneath the mat stack, ribbon, buttons, trim and glitter add the finishing touches.  This sweet paper is from My Mind's Eye. Couldn't resist the close up.  Hope everyone enjoy the blog hop.  Have a great night! Nancy

Happy Wedding Day

 Hello! I have been having some fun with my new order from Papertrey.  I can't seem to stop making cards, but you will see more of that in the next few days. Today's card I used the Anniversary set. I  cut around the frame and pretty peony, putting the peony on raised foam dots.  The mat stack #3 gives the frame a nice backdrop. I used the words from the happy day stamp set and the heart die. Have a great day! Nancy
