I almost hate to say that today is the 25th and we are already near the end of the first month of the new year. As your granny used to say, "Close your mouth, child, you look like a fish gasping for air in a dry pond." And then she would gasp for breath coz that was a lot of words to string together when you're frustrupated.
The good news is it's time for the monthly Papertrey (PTI) January 2014 Blog Hop. You only need to use one PTI product to play along. It's a day-long hop so if you're quick like a bunny, you can make a pink card and hop on the hop. This month the challenge is to make our cards using shades of pink only (other than neutrals). As always there is a beautiful photo board for inspiration:
Here is my bling-studded entry:
I am also entering:
Addicted to CAS, where the theme is NEW ~ my sediment.
CAS on Sunday where the theme is LOVELY DOVEY; make a card for love/Valentine's Day.
~~~
After yesterday's epic long post, I'll do you a favor and make this one an epic short post!
Enjoy the hop and your day! No, seriously, enjoy. LITS!*
As always, thank you for coming by to visit the Playhouse and special thanks to you if you take the time to leave a comment and/or join as a follower! You warm my heart! Please let me know you came by, so I can be sure and return the flavor!

ReplyDeleteLove your pink sunray card, it is totally beautiful. Was just around at some other blogs and saw examples of your vocabulary word that has become so famous. I really think NBUS should go into Webster's. Now I am being tempted by your tease of an earlier post, and I could use a chuckle so I'm off to enjoy whatever it is that you've shared. I know I'm gonna smile (at least I hope it's a happy and not sad one!). Hugs & TFS
ReplyDeleteFabulous!!!! Love the rays from the behind the heart! Great addition of gems!
