April Papertrey Ink Blog Hop, MIM and MFT Sketch Challenge

It's the 25th and time for the Papertrey Ink BLOG HOP. I was actually able to squeeze in a card after having the dreaded colonoscopy today! I am sure glad it's over. Anyway, I loved the tea cups but I only had a coffee word die and cup to use. I wanted to also incorporate the MIM over at Papertrey as well.

  Here is the inspiration photo below:

Love those cups and I had the perfect paper!
It is not exactly as I had envisioned but I still like it.

I also entered the MFT Sketch Challenge


I don't have many MFT products but I am slowly collecting! ;)
Any questions, I am happy to answer and I love your comments!!

Papertrey October Blog Hop Challenge

Today is the big day of the month for the Papertrey Blog Hop. It's always on the 25th of the month,
why not create something and join us!!

My inspiration came from the first Holiday Color Recipe card:

I just love these colors together and when I saw those beautiful ornaments,I knew

exactly what I wanted to create.  It was just a matter of when. I put it off until today and my

daughter had a swim meet. So, when I got home, I went to work.  Here's what I came

up with today. Pretty much how I had pictured it. What do you think?? I thought about embossing some circles around the image but I didn't want to take the chance that I wouldn't like it!

And a closer picture:
