papertrey august blog hop challenge

The Papertrey Ink had a brown bag challenge.  Since I've been working on being "green," I don't usually have paper bags in the house.  I did find one beat up grocery bag (can't get my husband to use the totes every time).  So I cut it up and used that on my cards.  I had fun and made two cards.


stamp: Papertrey Ink pencil, apple, & "back to school"
ink: Impress mustard & poppy, VersaFine onyx black
other: gingham ribbon, Marvy markers (brown, pink grey, pine green)



stamp: Papertrey Ink alphabet letters, Impression Obsession apple
ink: VersaFine onyx black
other: Prismacolor pencils, Memory Box jewel stickers cherry red

Good for you on going so green that you had to scrounge around for a paper bag! Love the way you used it on your cards. I especially like that circle on the second one. Great job!
