Papertrey Ink January Blog Hop

Good morning friends and Papertrey Ink fans :)  It’s the 25th so it must be the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop!!  Today’s post is all about Stamping News Years Resolutions….resolutions to use those yet to be inked stamps or dust off an old set to use again.   I was sooooo excited about this as I have a growing pile of new stamp sets just begging to be used…first up is the wonderful Love Lives Here set with dies.  Oh, I love Melissa Phillips and just HAD to have this set :)  How adorable are those little cut out hearts on this house and all the dies in this set?  I loaded on all the sweet little bits in an homage to Melissa :)  Next up is Dawn McVey’s Love Birds set.  I HAD to have this set and dies as well!! LOL
Feeling a bit nervous about how to use this set for the first time, I went through Dawn’s release week posts and found THIS CARD to help inspire my own (scroll down to the 4th card).  I loved stamping the cage onto some fine linen…I think it really stands out :)  Last up is a card inspired by the latest WaCCCky (Wild Card Colour Challenge).   It uses the Mat Stack 2 Collection and Mega Mixed Messages.  Now, I use this last set a lot, but have never inked the Feel Better stamp…so here it is…

 
Okay, that’s all from me…this was so fun and I wonder how high everyone else’s stack of uninked stamps is!!  Thanks for visiting and see you on the Hop!!
