Papertrey Ink Blog Hop

Hello and thank you for stopping in
along the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop.
along the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop.
The theme for this month’s Hop is BUTTONS!! Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! I couldn’t not play along this month *giggles* I sort of changed the theme to Hawaiian Shores and buttons as I really wanted to start trying different color matches with Hawaiian Shores.
On my first card I worked some True Black and Pure Poppy with Hawaiian Shores. I used patterned papers from Black & White Basics, Prima chipboard, Making Memories pins that matched perfectly, Hawaiian Shores ribbon, Pure Poppy buttons, and a sentiment from Asian Fusion. Not sure about the Vintage Tea Dye that I inked the edges of the card with – but whatev – LOL
On my second card I went with Raspberry Fizz and used patterned papers from Raspberry Fizz Mix, Prima chipboard, some Hawaiian Shores buttons and the sentiment from Asian Fusion. And do you love that ribbon?? I got this ribbon from Courtney Baker’s new shop: Practicing Creativity Designs and it matches Hawaiian Shores perfectly!
I went a little outside the box on my third card and tried Dark Chocolate with Hawaiian Shores. I paired Chocolate Remix patterned papers with some pretty cream eyelet trim that I picked up from A Million Memories, Prima chipboard (it really does go with everything – heh), and Hawaiian Shores ribbon and buttons. I finally got me one of those 2-way glue pens and put a couple of strips of glitter across the top of my card just for a lil’ sum-sum up there. Not sure if this one is my most favorite color combinations ever, but I’m all about trying new things – sometimes you hit it, and sometimes you miss it – ha!
Thanks so much for stopping in.
See you on the Hop!
