Gratitude Journal

Hello-

Hope the holidays are treating you well :-)

I have been busy busy BUSY the past few weeks making gratitude journals for my family for Christmas. I made SEVEN (YIKES!) - which is why my posts lately have been few and far between...

Some pages of the journals were inspired by Dawn's here.  Below are the photos... I apologize for the photo-heavy post, but we all know that is the best part of posts anyhow right?

I also filled them with some loose leaf paper that I picked up at a GREAT price after the back to school sales were done (like 28 cents a package! w00t!)

Thanks for looking. Happy Holidays!

Papertrey Ink August Blog Hop!

I can't believe it's that time already! Welcome to my blog and my entry for this month's hop!

      

This month's challenge comes from the inspiration photo they provided:

The part of this photo that most inspired me, was the delicate pattern on the inside of the suitcase.  I tried to replicate that pattern by repeatedly stamping an image from Gratitude Journal onto my card.

I drew the rest of my inspiration from the colors in the photo.  Thank you so much for stopping by!

Attitude of Gratitude - New PTI :-)

Hello...

This last weekend was a busy one - it was my Dad's birthday, and I was having people over for dinner.  My latest PTI order showed up on Saturday - I couldn't wait to ink those goodies up - so today I did.

I am already in Fall mode - (even though I had to cave and turn the A/C back on today!) so I inked up those adorable Ginkgo leaves in Wild Honey.  I LOVE the way it turned out!

Thanks for stopping by!
