Papertrey Ink Blog Hop..!!


Hello stamping friends......welcome to my blog! I've only been posting for about a week, so I'm a little nervous and excited about participating in my very first blog hop.....what fun!
We were asked to choose a project from Papertrey Ink's design team gallery and recreate it with our own spin on it.
Trying to choose a favorite from all these gals isn't possible, but I love Betsy Veldman's warm, fresh & pretty, yet vintage style. I used two of her cards for my inspiration... from the vintage labels gallery (here) and say it with style gallery (here)...
On busy days, just looking at all of the gorgeous ideas and possibilities these artists provide is enough to hold me until the next time I can ink up a stamp. Thank you, ladies, for keeping me sane on those days...
Thanks for visiting!!
Melanie
