Welcome to the first Papertrey Ink group post for September. This month many new holiday sets are being introduced, and today we're focusing on one of them called Love Lives Here: Holiday...a set Nichole and I were able to collaborate on together, and once again, I love what she has done.
For my project I created a simple ornament using the angel and WINGS found in this set...yes, for all of you wing lovers, the wait for Papertrey Ink die cut wings is over...you'll love them The angel is sitting on a wooden spool wrapped in vintage sheet music. The large snowflake die is also new from Papertrey Ink this month and is beautiful. She is stamped in Ripe Avocado ink and cut from Kraft cardstock. I coated her lightly with a layer of Martha Stewart snow glitter.
The coordinating card shows a few more images from this set and one of the sweet sentiments. Along with the Kraft cardstock, Ripe Avocado and True Black ink, I used Simply Chartreuse Bitty Dot Satin.
The set is filled with sentiments that focus on the heart, home, and the holidays...a sweet, festive take on the original Love Lives Here set.
The pine branches are a favorite of mine...easy to dress up or down with images found in this set as well as buttons and pearls. I can't wait to see what you'll do with this set.
The other designers have special projects created with this set waiting for you as well:
- Nichole Heady
- Heather Nichols
- Dawn McVey
- Lisa Johnson
- Betsy Veldman
- Michelle Wooderson

- Jessica Witty

OMGosh! I swear I have tears in my eyes! Between my prim angel collection and love for homespun ... this set is pure delight! Your angel ornament is simply adorable! I love the snowflake back, the decorated spool ... all of the elements, wonderful colors and textures ... how sweet it is! Likewise, your Holiday Hugs card is simply beautiful.

i have a vision of using kraft cardstock to die cut the wings - then putting them through my crimper just on the tips of the wings! and of course using some fresh snow ink on them! thank you again!

Melissa, I just want to reach through the screen and give you a great big HUG!!! I've looked at all the group posts, and seen the amazing projects, and I saved the best for last (yes, that's you my dear ;) I knew I would LOVE this set, but I have to tell you that it has exceeded everything I thought it would be! The images are PERFECT (I've been wanting angel wings for oh so long now, and the pine boughs are perfection!), and the sentiments, oh those sentiments, they're what Christmas is all about! Blessings to you, sweet Melissa, for warming my heart and making my day!
Hugs, Diane
