What a fun challenge! Amy is the hostess this month over on the Papertrey Posse blog and she has challenged us to go back to our very first PTI set and put it use. She also asked that we tell how we discovered PTI. I found PTI through Lauren Meader's blog way back when they only had a limited number of sets for sale. I checked out the site many times, but it wasn't until they released Believe that I finally took the plunge and bought one of their sets. Of course, I haven't looked back since and now I rarely buy stamps from anywhere else. For my card, I started with a journaling card from October Afternoon's Good Cheer line. I stamped it with PTI's Text Style in Aqua Mist. It doesn't show up very well in the photo, but if you look closely at the second photo you can just barely see it. I stamped my santa image, colored him with copics, cut him out and adhered him to the journaling card with adhesive foam circles. I then stamped my sentiment and added an Aqua Mist button in the upper right hand corner. I used more papers from the Good Cheer line to make my card base and added some satin cream ribbon making layered loops as I adhered it to the card. To finish it off, I adhered the journaling card over the ribbon with more adhesive foam circles. I hope you enjoy this little bit of Christmas in July! Check out the Papertrey Posse blog and play along with us.
