Blog hop time!!!!!!!

Welcome PTI fans!!!! Here was the challenge for the month of August....

In honor of school going back into session everywhere, we thought it would be fun to issue a Brown Bag Challenge. We want to see what you can do to dress up, alter, change an ordinary brown lunch bag into a paper crafting work of art. You could modify it to become a gift bag with handles, create a card base by folding it in half (complete with a slide out tag), add a window to it or whatever else you can dream up. After the hop is though, we should all have plenty of inspiration to help us create amazing projects with inexpensive brown bags! We look forward to seeing your creations!

Here is my creation
The pink scallops are actually the inside portion of the card.

Okay on a personal note, here is how my 3 year old signs her name. She is a lefty and she always writes her name backwards. Any sugguestions with that?

Onto the goods. First off, one of the things I loved about CHA was getting to ask questions from the greats. I talked with Heather about my fresh snow ink pad and decided I needed to get the reinker. WOW!!!!! She said she always bought the reinker with the pad so she had it on hand. After this experience, I will be doing the same as well.

This creation is tons of fun and I was able to use some of my color couture pieces. I try to cut them all out right when I get them so that they are ready to go. That is where I started with this card and then went from there. Mat pack die #4 is all it is cracked up to be by the way. I got the inspiration for this funky flower came from the fabulous Dawn. Have a wonderful night of PTI eye candy, I can't wait myself. Oh, the sentiment is from Big & Bold Wishes, LOVE IT!!!! Do you also spy the wood grain stamp? It is another new one for me as well. Last month was a fun month of trouble for me LOL!

It's a good life!
