Papertrey Peeps Challenge

Woohoo! The first Papertrey Peeps challenge has been posted on the Peeps blog! Lori has challenged us to use buttons. Gotta love those buttons. While Papertrey has released three great sets incorporating buttons, it's good to look at some of the other sets with which you can easily incorporate buttons. I pulled out Turning a New Leaf, Beyond Basic Borders, and Beautiful Blooms and saw several possibilities. I chose Turning a New Leaf and used some Raspberry Fizz buttons as the blossoms on the vine.


I love to mix it up, so I chose two designs from Lemonade Paper Pad. Those paper pads with the smaller scale prints are perfect for cards; plus you get so many great papers at a very reasonable price. Were these papers enough prints for me? Oh ,no! I had to add that gingham ribbon.



For the inside I stamped a border from Beyond Basic Borders, and then using the smallest dot from Polka Dot Basics 1, I added the Raspberry Fizz dots.



Lots going on today with the Papertrey Anniversary Celebration. I hope you have time to make some cards and enter the contest.

Supplies:
Stamps: Turning a New Leaf, Beyond Basic Borders, Polka Dot Basics 1
Ink: New Sprout (Memento),Raspberry Fizz(PTI)
Paper: Raspberry Fizz(PTI), Lemonade Paper Pad(Basic Grey)
Other: Raspberry Fizz Vintage Buttons (PTI), ribbon (Hobby Lobby)
