Papertrey Ink August Blog Hop Challenge


I made time to play in the Papertrey Ink August blog hop challenge--another inspiration challenge. You can get all the deets on Nichol's blog HERE.


I used Year Of Flowers Collection for my flower image, Garden Variety for the images on the seed packet and sentiment, and the Seed Packet and Seed Packet Frame dies for the actual seed packet.A simple layout, some Melissa Frances paper, lace, seam binding, and a twine-tied button finish it off.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
