Papertrey Ink February 2012 Blog Hop


Supplies:Cardstock:Papertrey Ink White, Summer Sunrise, & Spring Rain, Patterned Paper: October Afternoon, Dies & Stamps: Papertrey Ink Up, Up, and Away and Movers & Shakers Spinners, Ink: Adirondack Black, and Corrugated White cardboard(for clouds).

This month's Papertrey Ink Blog Hop Challenge is all about interactive cards. I don't usually make interactive cards but with Papertrey's new Movers and Shakers collection of dies, its a lot simpler than I thought it would be. I had tried to make several interactive cards during the PTI anniversary challenge but failed miserably and ended up with lots of wasted cardstock. Fortunately, I got my PTI order this week and had the Spinners dies to play around with. PTI's Up, Up, and Away set of hot air balloons seemed perfect for these dies.

The girls loved playing with the balloon up and down the track. I was a little nervous that it would fall apart but it held up just fine.


Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful weekend!
