September 2011 Blog Hop

Welcome everyone to the September Papertrey Blog Hop!  We are so thrilled to see you here!  First, the challenge...

  

Same Challenge...and I used the same striped paper I made the first time...I even used polka dot basics again...obviously, I didn't clean off my desk in between creations :)

I added some baker's twine this time...and the sentiment is from a Tag-it's set that was just PeRfecT! The sun is made out of the Limitless layers dies and I embossed it with an ArGyLe folder...can't go wrong with a sun that's just a little preppy can you?!?  :)

Here's a better shot of my inspiration stripes and the baker's twine...

...and the envie...

Thanks for looking...hope you are having a great Sunday and enjoying all the AmAZinG BloG HoP creations!!

Here's my Challenge #9...

My unexpected use of a stamp is...I used the roof tops from the Love Lives Here set...trimmed them just a bit...and poof...they were photo corners...

The flowers work perfectly with the little flower element from Tag-it's 6...I stamped the background paper...which, if you stretch things  a bit could be a panel...which might make this qualify for Challenge #1 too :)  ...but I think it's a little too big a stretch!
