PTI's July Blog Hop





Yayyyy, I'm so happy, I passed my American driving test today. Even though I have an English licence I still had to do the full test again (written and driving) to be able to drive over here. I was sooooo nervous, I felt like a teenager again! I've been putting off doing the test for a long time, so its a bit of weight off my shoulders.

Anyway, just had to share that!

Onto the blog hop. This month's PTI blog hop challenge was to create a card using text somehow in the design (I guess not counting the sentiment). Although I wasn't very adventurous using the text background under the button flowers, I like the end result.

Supplies used (PTI unless stated):

Stamps: Button bits
Ink: Dark chocolate, Ripe avocado, Hibiscus burst, Summer sunrise
Paper: Aqua mist bitty dots, Lemon tart bitty box, Stampers select white
Buttons: Hibiscus burst, Vintage cream
Ribbon: Lemon tart polka dot, Cream twine, Martha stewart bakers twine
Punches: EK success edge punch

Thanks for taking a look & Happy Hopping!

    I barely passed my driving test when I was younger. I missed the maximum number of questions you can miss and still pass the written test. I'm happy for you!
