PapertreyInk bloghop


Hi there!

It's bloghop time at PapertreyInk and today is my first time to attend, yeah!!!!
Do you remember my babbling about all the fun stuff going on at PTI a couple days/ weeks ago? Well, PTI celebrated its third anniversary and Nichole and the PTI gang whipped up lots of f
un things. And due to the hard work of their Design Team during this celebration Nichole's challenge for this bloghop is to make a Design Team Appreciation Day - means: "...go through the Design Team gallery or any of the Design Team Members' blogs and find a project that is especially inspirational to you! Then recreate the project with your own spin, making it unique!"

I love Dawn McVey's work - her style is so clean and bright! I choose this card



...and after lots of trials and errors I finally created this one. I'm still not pleased with how the stickles turned out but once it was applied .... you know!

Thank you for hopping by today - and thank you PTI DT for all the wonderful inspiration you give us each an every day!!!!

Hugs Tanja
