Pages With Papertrey

*Hi there! If you're looking for my Season's Giving Blog Hop post, please scroll down. Happy New Year! Today, I have a layout to share that I made using some Reverse Confetti stamps & dies. I used some Teresa Collins patterned paper for the background and some Pink Paislee patterned paper and chipboard words/images. I diecut a Papertrey Ink tree using my In the Meadow dies and stamped on it in versmark using my Reverse Confetti's Tinsel 'N Trim stamp set, which I heat embossed in white. I…

Note: this is my second post for today. Please scroll down to see the card that I made for the latest 10 Minute Craft Dash. I am so excited to share that Lisa Warren of Inspired Blueprints has asked me to join her design team! You can find the announcement here (along with a list of all of the DT members) & my introduction here. Here is the sketch that Lisa had given the applicants: And here's the layout I made with it: I used a mix of patterned papers: the woodgrain is Teresa Collins (I…

Today, I have a layout to share that I made using Sketch #108 from Inspired Blueprints. And here's my layout: I used some Bazzill card stock and Basic Grey patterned paper. For my title I used some PTI alphabet dies, paired with a sentiment from Reverse Confetti's Forever Fall stamp set, that I selectively inked to just stamp "pumpkin". I love it when I can use word stamps to created my titles! I diecut a couple of PTI tags for my layout as well, and on one of them, I stamped the sweet polka…

I have a few projects to share today. First up, I made some Valentine treat bags to hand out to my kids in my Sunday School group. I used some Doodlebug kraft polkadot bags, which I filled with some candies. Then, I cut a 2x8.5" strip of white card stock to wrap around each bag. I stamped the cookies from Wplus9's Milk & Cookies and masked it to stamp the jar & straw. I die cut the banners using Reverse Confetti's Tag Me banner die in pure poppy card stock. Then I stamped a sentiment from…

Just popping in today to share a layout for July's Pages With Papertrey Challenge. This month's challenge is to include some journaling cards on your layout. Here's the layout I made, using both one of the journaling cards that I got for free with my Papertrey Ink order. which I paired with some We R Memory Keepers journaling cards. I used my PTI Journaling Card 1 die to die cut the PTI card "Life is sweet". The WRMK cards came in a pad, but I noticed they were slightly larger than the PTI…

Thank goodness it's Friday! We've got an inservice today, so the kids are all at home. The boys have been working on homework and Sage & I have been tackling her Valentines (check back this weekend to see them!) Today, I'm posting this month's Pages With Papertrey Challenge, which is to create a 2 page layout. When I first started scrapbooking, I pretty much only made two page layouts. Nowadays, they're definitely a rarity. However, with so many great photos from our trip last summer, two…

Today, I have a challenge for Pages With Papertrey: create a layout using 5 or more different patterned papers. I made my layout using Pages With Papertrey Sketch #31: I converted the sketch to a 12x12 layout and I used twenty photos instead of nine. I used eight different patterned papers on my layout -- a mix of Crate Paper and Basic Grey from my scraps. For my title, I used my PTI Headline Alphabet dies. The flair is Basic Grey Carte Postale. If you create a layout for this challenge…

Wow, I can't believe that this is the 24th Pages With Papertrey Challenges that I've posted. I've been doing this for two years now! It's been so fun to use (& encourage others to use) PTI supplies on layouts! This month's challenge is a number challenge. Create a layout using two. This could be two photos, two stamps, two stamp sets, two dies, two pieces of patterned paper, etc. Whatever you'd like. For my layout, I used two of everything to make it... 2 photos 2 sheets of American Crafts…

Today, I'm sharing a layout that I made for this month's Pages With Papertrey Challenge, which is to stamp on something other than cardstock. This could mean stamping on patterned paper, vellum, cork, chipboard, etc. For my layout, I decided to stamp on some Scenic Route chipboard letters that I've had forever! I think I bought three packs of these when they first came out! For my layout, I used My Mind's Eye patterned paper & enamel dots, as well as some American Crafts letter stickers (for…

Wow, I can't believe it's already March 1st! And that means that we're getting closer to getting rid of this snow...... I cannot wait! Today, I'm posting the latest challenge for Pages With Papertrey, which is to use at least three different PTI dies on your layout. And bonus points if they are all from different collections, too. ;) The layout that I made for this month's challenge was created using photos that I took last July. I also used My Mind's Eye patterned paper (the dark grey polka…

Today I have a new challenge to share for Pages With Papertrey: use the masking technique on your layout. Here's my layout, where I did some masking to stamp some rows of buildings using PTI's City Scene. I stamped my title using Wet Paint Alphabet. The patterned paper I tucked behind my building scene is Echo Park. Here's a close up of my stamped scene: The buildings were so fun to stamp & they complemented the buidlings in the photos, which was the theme of the museum we visited. The…

Today, I have a layout to share for this month's Pages With Papertrey Challenge, which is to use a stencil on your layout. I used a Simon Says Stamp Snowfall stencil with a Tim Holtz blending tool to add some polka dots to my layout. I added the polka dots to my white cardstock background and layered this over some Fancy Pants corrugated cardstock. I diecut two hearts (using the hearts from Reverse Confetti's Love Note dies) -- one from the corrugated cardstock & one from the stenciled…

Today I have a layout to share for Pages With Papertrey Challenge #33 which is to include journaling in more than one place on your layout. I created my layout using a sketch comes from Create: Sketches: It's a 8.5x11" sketch, but I converted it to a 12x12". I didn't have a bunch of tiny photos printed up, so I decided to use one 4x6" photo instead. Here's my layout: I used some Fancy Pants patterned paper and letter stickers (pink). For my title, I cut the "Valentine" out on my silhouette…

*Note: this is my second post for the day. Please scroll down to see my Reverse Confetti SFYTT post. Thanks! I was super honoured to be asked by my friend, Paulina Nakamura of Pretty Pink Posh, to be a part of her Grand Opening Blog Hop. She is selling some really fabulous embellishments in her shop and she sent me the cutest sequins to play with! Today, I'll be sharing two cards and one layout that I made with the Classic Christmas Flat sequins. Here's the first card.... This first card was…

I cannot believe that it's been two years since I started posting the Pages With Papertrey Challenges! I've really enjoyed posting these & am super appreciative to everyone who's participated in them! This month's challenge is no cardstock. That's right, you can't use any cardstock on your layout. For my layout, I combined this month's challenge with the Crate Paper August Creative Weekly... I used an assortment of Crate Paper patterned paper for my layout, as well as quite a few Papertrey…

We love this commercial... It's too funny! After seeing this, when I would hug Jonah, I'd say: "It's hard to get any work done when my boss is so snuggly." And then I started calling him my boss, or my big boss. So, I decided to document it in a layout. I found this super sweet photo of Jonah which I thought was perfect for the quote (he really is quite snuggly!) I paired it with some Simple Stories patterned paper & chipboard shapes. To make my title, I stamped the quote using my new PTI…
