A Passion for Papertrey: Baby blue

Baby blue

Isn't it lovely to have to make a baby card?! Seems to be coming into baby season so I'll be using this Bitty Baby Blessings set quite a bit - it's actually the first time I've used it! I love that it's so great for paper piecing:

I'm madly rushing around trying to get sorted and packed before going on holiday first thing Tuesday morning - I'm wrestling between this huge pile of ironing that needs to be done, and an empty suitcase that needs to be filled and the beautiful sunshine outside (and some new PTI stamps that haven't received as much love as they should have too)

Thanks for stopping by - don't forget to check back tomorrow for the draw of our blog candy and a new challenge!

Recipe:
Stamps - Bitty Baby Blessings
Card - Kraft/Enchanted Evening/Stamper's Select White
Paper - Men of Life
Other - sewing machine/Enchanted Evening button/Fiskars border punch/oval Nestabilities

I am 45, but I STILL miss the long summer days that I used to have while I was in school! I am sure I complained of being bored at some time, but I do not recall ever being bored!; 9 August 2009 at 15:15

I hope you are enjoying the sunshine - ironing can always wait and there are lightbulbs to make evening crafting possible.

If we dont catch up before have a wonderful holiday

Welcome to A Passion for Papertrey - a place where lovers of Papertrey Ink can get together to share ideas, inspiration, take part in challenges and join swaps!

We're Kate, Aimes and Caryn - we all live in the UK and became friends thanks to our mutual love of all things Papertrey. We soon found out there were lots of other fans in the UK and Europe and thought there should be a corner of the web to bring us together.

Of course we welcome readers from around the world but our primary aim is to unite stampers who use Papertrey products from the UK and the rest of Europe.

Every fortnight we will set a challenge using Papertrey products AND at the end of each challenge we will randomly draw a winner who will recieve some Papertrey goodies! This may be a roll of ribbon, a selection of papers and matching cardstock or even a stamp set!!

We know that as it is an overseas company you may not have a large collection of stamps and Papertrey colours so these will be kept quite general.

For example if you don't have the Papertrey colours you could use one of their stamps and cardstock/papers from other companies, or get creative with just some Papertrey papers and ribbon - the main thing is to have fun!
