Rather than explain this month’s PTI blog hop theme, I
decided to rely on the expression that a picture is worth a thousand words.
Here’s the picture:
Because I am in the midst of organizing and purging my paper
crafting supplies, I didn’t think I’d be able to participate in the blog hop. I
desperately needed a break from making difficult decisions, such as “should I
keep this paper that I haven’t used in over a year or should I put it in the
purge pile,” and decided to make a card. I think you’ll appreciate the irony,
though. The paper that I used for this card… it came from the purge pile!
The card was inspired by this Melissa Phillips card (last in the post), the above photo collage, and an Emma’s Shoppe brad that I
came across while sorting supplies.
My daughter is working on a documentary about pregnancy and
has asked me to make some baby cards. One of the mom’s is expected to have her
baby girl early next week, so I thought I’d go traditional with this very pink
card. And it felt so very good to be using my supplies rather than just sorting
them.
For a list of all the pretty pink projects, click on over to
Nichole’s blog. Thanks for stopping by.
