INKer's March Challenge

Your Discovery of Papertrey Ink?

With Papertrey Ink not being in any store, it is not as if we found it on the shelf at our local LSS. There is a story behind our discovery of it's existence. Granted some of us may have been PTI fans for four years, but still there is a story to tell. And I think each is worth telling. So what opened your eyes to Papertrey Ink? With all the products out there, something drove you to search them out. What was it?          

For me it was this card on the Two Peas and a Bucket website Forum that drove me to search out Papertrey Ink. I loved the clouds and the sentiments, and just about everything about it. So my first order at PTI included the stamps and dies for "Up Up and away" and I was hooked.... oh yeah and I had to run out and buy a Big Shot to boot.

This challenge has several layers to answer throughout the month of March:

 1)Tell your story of how you discovered Papertrey Ink (the trigger).

2) Using (the trigger) make a project for each of the March Make it Mondays.

3) Now that you've fallen back in love with your first love of PTI, use (the trigger) to showcasing the PTI Blog Hop Challenge this March.

I hope I have you thinking of all the different things you can do with your first PTI Love.

As I've mentioned before my (trigger) was "Up Up and away" Dies. So here are a few cards I made a couple of months ago (before copics).

Here is the card I made yesterday, playing with my new Copics and a few other PTI goodies ;)

Hope you enjoy the Challenge!

INKers Challenge #1 - February

Hi INKers!  This is Linda, your challenge hostess for February.

We have been having an awesome February so far in Northern California!  So sorry to rub it in for those of you in the East or Midwest or anywhere else in the throes of winter!  But usually we are having cold and rainy weather this time of year so having this warm, sunny weather right now is so nice.  Our trees are flowering, the daffodils and paperwhites are blooming and the camellia bush outside my front door has the most gorgeous bright pink flowers.  

For our first challenge, I will start simple: Create a project using the color(s) of your favorite flower.  Oh, and by the way, no flowers can appear on your project.  When you post your project, tell us what your favorite flower is and why it’s your favorite.

It’s as simple as that.  Use the color any way you want - paper, ink, coloring, etc. 

Have fun!!
