I liked the idea of using bookprint but really wanted to give it a specific theme so I used one of the sentiments from Birthday Basics to create the background strip. The simple circles die cut hides where everything meets in the middle. <br />

I also wanted to use small flowers in the circles based on those in the inspiration picture. These are actually the centers of the flowers from the Simple Sunflower set.<br />

So call me crazy but the only thing I've really done on the Papertrey Ink website up until now was shop! But I'm slowly discovering all of the other fun happenings - like the blog hop. Here are the details for this month:<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #134f5c;"><em>This month's blog hop is all about fabulous felt! We know you love this new addition to our product line-up and we would love to see what you are doing with it! From borders to focal points, paper crafts to sewing projects. Hair accessories to home decor accents. Cards to scrapbook layouts. We want to see it all!</em></span><br />
<br />
And thanks to all that shopping I do happen to have some PTI felt in my stash!<br />
<br />
I really liked the look of stamping directly on the felt so I went with that again:<br />
<br />

It's a little tough to see in the picture so here's a little more detail:<br />
<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
This <a href="http://www.papertreyink.com/stamps_yearofflowers_lilyofthevalley.html">Papertrey Ink set</a> fell into the category of "I didn't think I needed it until I was shown the error of my ways by the design team" - please tell me this happens to other people. <br />
<br />
The very day it arrived I spent my night copying all of their creations - with my <strike>simple</strike> lazy twist. So I'm happy to say within 24 hours of receiving this set every image had been used! <br />
<br />
Here is my only original creation. I had one more seniment left to use and I just didn't want to color ALL of those little flowers so this was my way to cheat:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTo1JLOsjIbPR48X_0R82UM7BpgHFxTZ2hRcSuFVAjIwHn3loFDQkcTmOAeNncPCk6JOdlYytGDNZ1yvKd3P4TxwolADfnrTb63deVkZFjUMvuyyCnpHCkx3NdQUDjInsy1SpRbv9XAjVq/s1600/Lily-of-the-Valley-2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gu="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTo1JLOsjIbPR48X_0R82UM7BpgHFxTZ2hRcSuFVAjIwHn3loFDQkcTmOAeNncPCk6JOdlYytGDNZ1yvKd3P4TxwolADfnrTb63deVkZFjUMvuyyCnpHCkx3NdQUDjInsy1SpRbv9XAjVq/s320/Lily-of-the-Valley-2.jpg" /></a></div><br />
And here are my lazy-fied copies:<br />
<br />
The first was Michelle Wooderson's botanical project found <a href="http://michellewooderson.blogspot.com/2010/05/year-of-flower-lily-of-valley.html">here</a>. Her project is far more detailed but I was too chicken to try and copy it exactly. I used a Stampin-up blender pen w/ Certainly Celery and Sahara Sand ink to color the image:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkl-0yRmcVBD0l124fMan3ZUQSSQtEvYmWZMlKEPHu2Irmykr8jPryx3qrk-P_SmfpRQBf9pAK1EcXoxYhTgZmnLMV2lllUaLnVHACzg8WbNZV42vTvGx_as3cOb7AaY7yZET06tzEN-W9/s1600/Lily-of-the-Valley-3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gu="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkl-0yRmcVBD0l124fMan3ZUQSSQtEvYmWZMlKEPHu2Irmykr8jPryx3qrk-P_SmfpRQBf9pAK1EcXoxYhTgZmnLMV2lllUaLnVHACzg8WbNZV42vTvGx_as3cOb7AaY7yZET06tzEN-W9/s320/Lily-of-the-Valley-3.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Then there was all of the Nichole Heady goodness. You can find all of the inspiration for these <a href="http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2010/05/introducing-year-of-flowers-lily-of-the-valley-and-inside-out-thank-you.html">here</a>.<br />
<br />
I believe Nichole used Q-tips to apply the white ink to her flowers but mine were upstairs, dangerously close to my sleeping children so I used my blender pen again:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv9h7vf65m0pkfIYnHJCF7pT_SlcNGmgZSAfxGYwXuszsxq4L0rv4qoyBMalw2J58VZaMUdFCgH-c3A5CHSyTvQUpJHQOr8GUxBxD-BX0ZrJmwPxHRCtjj6sBg443GOJQRVPBEfcMqljb-/s1600/Lily-of-the-Valley-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gu="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv9h7vf65m0pkfIYnHJCF7pT_SlcNGmgZSAfxGYwXuszsxq4L0rv4qoyBMalw2J58VZaMUdFCgH-c3A5CHSyTvQUpJHQOr8GUxBxD-BX0ZrJmwPxHRCtjj6sBg443GOJQRVPBEfcMqljb-/s320/Lily-of-the-Valley-1.jpg" /></a></div><br />
Next up was this version which required much less coloring:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp2W3J3mzEtAXj1kjtDi9oMfhwSkgJ3gHauKo6xxQvjD67AhtYhLS9CrHzYC1OxoRkr1LtoMO2aw86n-Exi5FC5hohUPTPpz8SJ6xIsvtthAreNF-ZYbhInZy7d1ZqXAuo8qXEuClit4Ll/s1600/Lily-of-the-Valley-5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gu="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhp2W3J3mzEtAXj1kjtDi9oMfhwSkgJ3gHauKo6xxQvjD67AhtYhLS9CrHzYC1OxoRkr1LtoMO2aw86n-Exi5FC5hohUPTPpz8SJ6xIsvtthAreNF-ZYbhInZy7d1ZqXAuo8qXEuClit4Ll/s320/Lily-of-the-Valley-5.jpg" /></a></div><br />
And finally this no-coloring version (which probably ends up being one of my favorite). Nichole's version used this for the inside of a card but I thought it would work on the outside just as well:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg9UJcPSh3nki3c0oLrSK6LgSThrt7iPbPLXAq-FgBkEzm2YO62GZD0iCNdXXxY_69PtkVShWjBNzhF-YRS4oT0KIhEjnyIYoyeaowFpG8hTtVf6FHBwKNKX5Ax8ZPhMPB6e75ufjF_xxu/s1600/Lily-of-the-Valley-4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gu="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgg9UJcPSh3nki3c0oLrSK6LgSThrt7iPbPLXAq-FgBkEzm2YO62GZD0iCNdXXxY_69PtkVShWjBNzhF-YRS4oT0KIhEjnyIYoyeaowFpG8hTtVf6FHBwKNKX5Ax8ZPhMPB6e75ufjF_xxu/s320/Lily-of-the-Valley-4.jpg" /></a></div><br />

So this deer image was probably one of my least favorite in the set - it kind of screams hunting trip to me and that's not really my thing. So to make it my thing how about using bright, cheerful colors and lots of white! <br />

<br />
Here is a card I made for my mom using this weeks <a href="http://www.moxiefabworld.com/2010/05/tuesday-trigger-inspiration-thats-in_04.html">Tuesday Trigger</a> for inspiration:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDNcwWSJfsj-fLBa1WcYnsVcUWjj_ugoZtQnE5kTHasFNNRGQ3AEhvFZ9sauEd4xNSwH_YMBIFwtfG0wTPfSf7s5O0Z-WddUWDWGQD_GbWZrDnTjUiv7w2GziP7UxaapdpRm61PNlRu068/s1600/Mothers-Day-Butterfly.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDNcwWSJfsj-fLBa1WcYnsVcUWjj_ugoZtQnE5kTHasFNNRGQ3AEhvFZ9sauEd4xNSwH_YMBIFwtfG0wTPfSf7s5O0Z-WddUWDWGQD_GbWZrDnTjUiv7w2GziP7UxaapdpRm61PNlRu068/s320/Mothers-Day-Butterfly.jpg" tt="true" /></a></div><br />
I wish I had a larger Mother's Day sentiment but I guess the focus needs to stay on the butterflies anyway (and it took me a shockingly short amount of time to arrange them - normally that would be at least a 20 minute project!)<br />
<br />
Here is another card I made for my aunt (who loves all things Nantucket):<br />
<br />

Both of these cards were made using Hero Arts <a href="http://www.heroarts.com/products/productInfo.cfm?ItemNo=CL383&subCat=B03">Antique Engravings</a> set (and it is all <a href="http://simplicitybylateblossom.blogspot.com/">LateBlossom's</a> fault that I *had* to buy that set - I had an Archiver's coupon, what's a girl to do!)<br />
<br />
This is the card I gave to my grandma (which has already been posted here but here it is again just in case you didn't see it the first time around):<br />

I don't actually have the All Star Team set that this is supposed to coordinate with but I think it's easy enough to use on its own and a super value at only $5!<br />
<br />
First I knocked out three of the images with this birthday card:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOnCYdKdT6uQoqidslM22A6FYc0lJ5_yvpXFLDDbnxqgxAFUegJuO297EEdEJlj0YWMef9n-qM8VS0MevieO0tCKyPlK0qy-GvmpztvWCApNXEmLL-5Z_bus1M9_02nH6M2aFXp2Out5hX/s1600/balls.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOnCYdKdT6uQoqidslM22A6FYc0lJ5_yvpXFLDDbnxqgxAFUegJuO297EEdEJlj0YWMef9n-qM8VS0MevieO0tCKyPlK0qy-GvmpztvWCApNXEmLL-5Z_bus1M9_02nH6M2aFXp2Out5hX/s320/balls.jpg" tt="true" /></a></div><br />
Next I used the baseball image with the underlying circle stamped in Papertrey's Pure Snow ink:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgayErcK0k-sRjznW7gKy_Mz67sdauSNNVcm7SNhQ2TS6D2E592lQGXjVutKofDOGqa9RnMdXrlXCNrHcDEX7gsVRD79vpKV7B1Nm9dlooipxoI9w2rUnMXbfwPnYg9ygbaThdotCPdX7_3/s1600/swing.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgayErcK0k-sRjznW7gKy_Mz67sdauSNNVcm7SNhQ2TS6D2E592lQGXjVutKofDOGqa9RnMdXrlXCNrHcDEX7gsVRD79vpKV7B1Nm9dlooipxoI9w2rUnMXbfwPnYg9ygbaThdotCPdX7_3/s320/swing.jpg" tt="true" /></a></div><br />
(You know I like to use my hand drawn boxes around things but these cards are particularly uneven for some reason - I promise I wasn't crafting under the influence!)<br />
<br />
So the only image I had left was the fill in image for the larger balls so I thought to myself "it doesn't really need to be a ball at all" and used it as a stand alone image on this card:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKNipTrCRUPb82_Vgydw7CVcmuLg-zkyO0LiDkMIeleaao5hWHtVouBJvpHVHoGT_XdGuxHZsxhiU9dJoKZkcLCD6Q3SbvjVRTCiM52gub-EdWbFNWaqPjqpU4y5JeIn1474LNGpP-xgYL/s1600/you-did-it.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKNipTrCRUPb82_Vgydw7CVcmuLg-zkyO0LiDkMIeleaao5hWHtVouBJvpHVHoGT_XdGuxHZsxhiU9dJoKZkcLCD6Q3SbvjVRTCiM52gub-EdWbFNWaqPjqpU4y5JeIn1474LNGpP-xgYL/s320/you-did-it.jpg" tt="true" /></a></div><br />
All that for $5!!<br />

<br />
The timing couldn't be better since I just invested in the Chair-ished set from Papertrey last month *and* it was the first set that I applied my "must use every image from the set" plan. Here is my favorite:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT1f6thxwgJL_fXgy54EdV5WqdMFJb9ru2A8Pe_EYed7BRH17bSM2IdX3lfjn-EeUbV7GLLWW3F-rK8Gb1sPal3zVW6_zhRDqQFDm44SpUX0W4Ryq2dCp9ZtG5XSbq_xOKFqAHepIpFUKr/s1600/i-miss-you.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT1f6thxwgJL_fXgy54EdV5WqdMFJb9ru2A8Pe_EYed7BRH17bSM2IdX3lfjn-EeUbV7GLLWW3F-rK8Gb1sPal3zVW6_zhRDqQFDm44SpUX0W4Ryq2dCp9ZtG5XSbq_xOKFqAHepIpFUKr/s320/i-miss-you.jpg" tt="true" /></a></div><br />
The images in this set are easy to cut out - I loved looking through my scraps to find just the right patterns to use.<br />
<br />
Here are a few more:<br />
<br />

The challenge is from one of my favorite blogs, <a href="http://simplicitybylateblossom.blogspot.com/2010/04/olw2-flock-or-glitter.html">Simplicity</a>, to create a one layer card using flock or glitter. I decided to go with Stickles over the stamped images (and some sketch inspiration from Papercrafts Go-to Sketches):<br />

I orginally just stamped the circles from PTI's Around & About Sentiments but it just seemed to need something so I added the grid (uneven on purpose because sometimes I get a little wild that way). <br />
<br />
If this weren't for a one layer card challenge I think I would have stamped each sentiment, circle punched them and then attached to the card with some dimensional adhesive. So that's another option.<br />
<br />
And since it is National Scrapbooking Day I will give you a quick update on my Week in the Life project. I did manage to follow through for the entire week - yay me!! I have all of my photos loaded and ready to order. Here are a few favorites:<br />

I wish I would have picked a little bit bolder sentiment for this but I just couldn't find a "thank you" I liked better:<br />

Then I saw <a href="http://poppypaperie.typepad.com/poppy_paperie/2010/04/chairished-and-a-little-argyle-day-2.html">this card</a> on <a href="http://poppypaperie.typepad.com/">Lisa Johnson's blog</a> and <a href="http://paperhugs.typepad.com/paper_hugs/2010/04/papertrey-ink-april-release.html">this one</a> on <a href="http://paperhugs.typepad.com/">Kim Hughes blog</a> and I was powerless to resist it. So I copied (or cased or lifted or whatever the right term is here) their cards almost exactly:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggwbpP8UHYZ53W7hIfFlvAQ_tMx7gv3GKuS8iTy-JZQIHXOxoOltHXdEkAJQn6Nh6v0yjcp03eqZkOYku-dbYfIZicWuH5aWHvqzV1R0cQ7-QKhTF5cGA0zQpsVX0FID96bP1KTzmHsAXN/s1600/chair1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggwbpP8UHYZ53W7hIfFlvAQ_tMx7gv3GKuS8iTy-JZQIHXOxoOltHXdEkAJQn6Nh6v0yjcp03eqZkOYku-dbYfIZicWuH5aWHvqzV1R0cQ7-QKhTF5cGA0zQpsVX0FID96bP1KTzmHsAXN/s320/chair1.jpg" wt="true" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWmtqO-4uFXjYbwyqGjl8Yzk8hIHkH_0E6bvc2a5KCtU5wbYRi-xob03QB2m6KIOI2EZP83EH4H0Li9x6mDsCuuHvQBEZ5Iw54uBUqOlJNvKx8dAiNdwsIhD27W4_FovNM8Dqfz6iMN909/s1600/chair3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWmtqO-4uFXjYbwyqGjl8Yzk8hIHkH_0E6bvc2a5KCtU5wbYRi-xob03QB2m6KIOI2EZP83EH4H0Li9x6mDsCuuHvQBEZ5Iw54uBUqOlJNvKx8dAiNdwsIhD27W4_FovNM8Dqfz6iMN909/s320/chair3.jpg" wt="true" /></a></div><br />
Then since I had the chairs all lined up on my block after making the first card I went crazy and stamped them the other way and just added a sentiment:<br />
<br />

This card was inspired by Nichole (you can see it towards the bottom of <a href="http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/2010/04/introducing-masculine-motifs-background-basics-woodgrain.html">this post</a>). Yet another moment of having to raise my fists to the heavens and call out "Curse you Papertrey Ink design team for making me spend more money!" But that die, that stamp, that sentiment - I neeeeeded it.<br />
<br />
Papertrey received lots of my hard earned money this month and I've had a blast playing with everything the last few days - more to "chair" with you tomorrow!<br />
