pti favorite

Papertrey Ink is celebrating its fourth anniversary and the contests have begun. Today, there are a couple of ways to enter a mind-blowing giveaway of the ULTIMATE Card Kit, one of which is to share your favorite PTI project from last year. My favorite is actually my gratitude journal. It is just so colorful and filled with such positive vibes that it will always have a place close to my crafting heart. Since I just posted that project, I thought that I would share a card from my pre-blogging days. For my SIL’s birthday card, I used PTI’s Just the Ticket stamps and die in Mary Ellen’s favorite color.

The inside of the card was decorated with another strip of tickets.

It is worth your time to peruse some of the other favorites shared. There are close to 400 projects (at this time) created by some very talented people in a range of styles and colors – something for everyone, as the saying goes.
