Papertrey February Blog Hop Challenge & Make It Monday Challenge #3

So February's Challenge is focused on scallops! I have some scallop stamps, and some scallop scissors but I decided to go with this adorable scallop ribbon I found. It is subtle but it is scalloped.

In an effort to make the most of my time, a scor tape glitter strip is also included in this card for the Make It Monday Challenge #3. The glitter stripe is hard to see in the first photo, so I tried again with this one.

Papertrey Anniversary Contest

*This is a reposting from the June 2010 PTI Blog Hop. The first PTI 2011 Anniversary Contest is to pick your favorite project from 2010. Here is mine! Hope you like it too!*

The June PTI Blog Hop Challenge is COLOR! Since it is summer and pretty hot right now, I have been going with bright and happy. To reflect this my favorite color combo of the moment is LEMON TART, PURE POPPY, and STAMPER'S SELECT WHITE.

STAMPER'S SELECT WHITE

Below is a project that I made for a summer housewarming gift:

Here is a close-up of the card:

And here is the house:

For an added pop of color, I colored rainbows on the windows and packed a crystal prism inside as the housewarming gift. Hopefully they will be able to enjoy many real rainbows in their windows!
