PTI January Blog Hop


January Challenge: With the new year comes a clean slate along
with many resolutions. This month's blog hop challenge involves
you challenging yourself to use a Papertrey stamp set that has yet
to see ink or even one that might be collecting a little dust!
Go through your stash and see what little used treasure it
might hold. 2011 is the year where what's old is new again!



I've used my Friendship Jar stamp set and both of the holiday companion sets but I've never touched the original fillers. For the patterned paper background, I used the packaging from the Basic Grey Blush paper collection. It worked out perfectly for this patchwork background following this sketch - WMS Sketch Challenge.

Supplies:
Stamps: PTI Friendship Jar and Fillers
Cardstock: PTI Dark Chocolate and Ocean Tides
Patterned Paper: Basic Grey Blush

    Gorgeous card, Amy! I used the same set in my card too. Only I guess I forgot what color daisies were supposed to be. Haha! Ooops!
    I love how you added the twine around the jar.
