First Ever PTI Blog Hop!

Hello!  This is my first ever PTI blog hop!  And I think my first blog hop in general!  I hope I am doing this right!  I am quite nervous!  I hope I am posting this at the right time! This month's hop is all about Design Team Appreciation Day! To go through the PTI gallery or design team blogs and find something inspirational to you!  At first I thought this would be easy.  I mean there is A LOT of inspiration one can achieve by the design team.  But than I had a hard time since I wanted to play with my newer set, Blooming Buttons Bits. It was also hard to pick someone to be inspired by, everyone is so amazing. I thought it would be great to appreciate Maile Belles since she is newer to the PTI design team.  She is so amazing!  I wasn't surprised at all when I read that she had joined, she truly fits!  I was inspired by her card on her blog here  Isn't it such a beauitful card?  And here is my take:

            

                                       

                                        

                                       

I am currently on a button spree and I will not appologize for it!  It's just too much fun and I am really enjoying it!  I stamped the three stems from Blooming Button Bits with pigment ink and clear embossed on top.  I used the smallest buttons I could find for the circular border and glued them on with my glossy accents.  I also attached the top piece with foam squares!  This card is so spring which is perfect since I am dreaming of spring with how cold the weather has turned here!

Products USed:  Blooming Button Bits, PTI Vintage Buttons, PTI Aqua Mist Ink, SU Chocolate Chip Ink, Bazzill cardstock, Mauvy Punch.

It's thursday already!  And the end of february is looming!  I don't know about you but I have a busy weekend ahead of me, but luckily it's a busy weekend full of spending time with family and friends!  Tonight I am hoping to finish my canvassing for the Heart and Stroke, I only have until sunday!  Last night I slipped and fell on a neighbors driveway!  Thankfully I wasn't hurt!  They had such a huge pile of ice and there was no way to avoid it! Next time I am just skipping the house if there is too much ice!  Well there you have it!  I hope I have done this right!  Happy weekend!
