PTI July Blog Hop


Time for another PTI Blog Hop! Seems I rarely get to participate so what fun to be here tonight. The theme is office supplies and ways we can incorporate them into our designs. Kind of a toughy for me! Unfortunately I don't have any of the new PTI sets that would fit into this category but I looked through some of my older sets to find some appropriate images. My design is my take on a sketch I recently saw on Diane Jaquay's blog--using envelopes!


I used an image from Boxes, Bags and Tags and a tiny little envelope from Mailbox Greetings. The vellum envelope I made. The enclosures were stamped with a script from Background Basics: Text Style. The sentiment on top is from Everyday Classics. I only have one PTI Impression Plate--In Bloom--and love it! I used it for the impression on new Harvest Gold (fabulous new color!).


Supplies
Stamps: Boxes, Bags and Tags, Mailbox Greetings, Background Basics: Text Style
Cardstock: Soft Stone, True Black, Harvest Gold (all PTI); Paper Company White
Additional: Ribbon (LSS), Vellum, In Bloom Impression Plate (PTI), Paper Clip, Copic YR31


See you at the Hop!!
