Let the Papertrey Ink fun begin...I always love this time each month...as the design team girls get their group posts ready for you and Nichole starts cranking out the beauties for us all to enjoy. Tonight is one of two group posts that we've been preparing for you...this one highlighting a sweet new stamp set designed by Alli Miles, which I've fallen for...our challenge as a design team was to show the versatility of this set by creating one holiday card and one generic card for you.
We'll start with my holiday card...
Give me anything with a wreath and berries and I'm a gonner....that's how my mind interpreted these images, but you'll notice many of the other designers using them in other creative ways.
Now for the generic card...
Such a fun card to create...I love this set.
Here are a bunch of amazing creations for you to check out...just click on the designer's blog below and enjoy! I'm off to give my little, sleeping, grouchy, beauty one more goodnight kiss.
Nichole, Becky, Betsy, Dawn, Debbie, Geny, Heather, Lauren, Lisa, Niki, and Michelle

Lovely cards - I particularly like the use of lace as that's something you don't see often.
The little wreath is gorgeous and so versatile.

On your artwork you use Mica flakes, which brand do you use? Or can recommend? Thankyou. Regards Kate
