'Thank you, Nichole!

If you've stopped by my blog before, you know that I'm a HUGE Papertrey Ink fan! In fact, they are the company that really got me back into stamping.... Every month so much excitement & inspiration abounds....!
So here's a little thank you to Nichole (and her partners) for always keeping it so fun!

PTI vintage cream & aqua mist cardstock. PTI aqua mist ink. PTI embellishments stamps.

A little paper pleating for Maren's challenge....

The sentiment on this is from Giga guidelines in smokey shadow.....
Thanks so much for stopping by- I'd love to know what you think!

    took me a while to figure out that was pleated paper and not ribbon - beautiful work.
