January Papertrey Blog Hop

! 

Today is Papertreys January blog hop!
The challenge was to use a black background.
I never would have chosen black as a background but I LOVE how
clear embossing looks on it!
Happy Hopping!

Two Challenges

I'm participating in two blog challenges today. The cards could not be more different. The first one is CR84FN. The colors were Kraft, orange, and yellow. I don't think I have ever used that combo before. It was fun. 

 

Supplies

Paper: PTI-Kraft, Orange Zest, Vintage Cream

Stamps: PTI-Spring jar fillers, Mat Stack 4, Taylored Expressions-Its a Banner Day

Dies- PTI-Limitless layers, Mat stack 4, Taylored Expressions Banner

Other: Vintage wallpaper, gems, Distress ink, lace

The second challenge was Make It Monday by Papertrey Ink. The challenge was to use distressing. Pretty easy for me since I distress EVERYTHING. My very favorite distress tool is Tim Holtz Distress tool. I love it!

Painting studio.Any color ideas?

I have decided to paint my studio. It is wood paneling now. YUCK. The floor is a wonderful worn dark wood. There are two large windows. So i have been doing research on colors that invoke creativity. I read blue. I think light yellow would lighten the room. If anyone reads this give me ideas on what paint color will inspire.
Thanks
