Papertrey January Blog Hop Challenge

Are you hopping today?  It's the January Papertrey Ink Blog Hop and the theme this month is PINK!   Lucky me to have my friend Joyce remind me to play along!  She knows I love pink so this is an easy one for me!!  Because of all the hearts on the inspiration photo I wanted to do something romantic.  My first thought was the Lace Bouquet stamp set.  I love the intricate lace pattern flowers that remind me of beautiful embroidery.    To keep with the pretty feminine feel I embossed Raspberry Fizz card stock for the base of a shaped card with lots of curves.     I made the dimensional flower with the Beautiful Blooms II dies with a button center.   The scalloped tag is from the Tremendous Tags dies and fits the mood perfectly.   I know this is supposed to be "all pink" but I couldn't resist adding the little green leaf fronds.   I know you have lots of hopping to do!  Big thanks for stopping by and enjoy all the Pretty In Pink projects today!  

You can see all the other creations linked up today - and add your own  from 10 am EST until 11:30 pm here.  Thanks for stopping by and have a beautiful day!

W+9 MMB25 - Yellow Roses

Hi and thanks for stopping by!  The month is quickly winding to a close.  I hope January takes all the freezing weather with it when it leaves!  It's been really harsh this past week.  Even my dog is hating going outside.  Sometimes I see her standing out there on three feet because she doesn't want to put the fourth one down.  The kids have been catching some breaks - late starts and cancelled classes due to the severe weather.  Even my poor hubby who works out in the cold  had some time off or was sent home early a few days this month.   Me?  I'm blessed with my kept life and only go out if I feel like it.  I'm holding down the fort with warm meals, and some home made cookies when the mood strikes.

Today I'm playing along with the WPlus9 Monday Mood Board #25.  I've been itching to get working with some of the new sets I got for my birthday in November.  Yes I am a very lucky girl!!

 If you're going to play this one you better hurry!  There are only a few days left!    You can see all the other designs linked up and get all the details here!  Have a great day!
