It's Deena and it's my turn to host this challenge. I've come up with a simple one. Drumroll please...Use a background stamp! That's it. Easy peasy. I'm hoping that this will encourage those of you who have held back on using your background stamps. Yes, it takes a little practice to get them lined up properly, but once you do, they're a blast to use and they're a great way to make patterned paper that matches your focal point perfectly. </span><br style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /> <br style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPkBes4XwUzagUlyseW6ZVFrercFpAC4hhOlkh3N1u_3Y2vat2l80BFwuqH6S2aHR9-AAOaAlGEV6xJZ_eoUc9WzXHrsOAK8seQsvpFChu9CezgemMz7ymiB3_V9g4nudW1D2ELtfMOvWu/s1600/266896_2158503368590_1426691359_2592087_2580105_o.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPkBes4XwUzagUlyseW6ZVFrercFpAC4hhOlkh3N1u_3Y2vat2l80BFwuqH6S2aHR9-AAOaAlGEV6xJZ_eoUc9WzXHrsOAK8seQsvpFChu9CezgemMz7ymiB3_V9g4nudW1D2ELtfMOvWu/s320/266896_2158503368590_1426691359_2592087_2580105_o.jpg" width="239" /></a></div><br style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> I had fun making this card, and with it being summer, I think it's perfect to give to one of my kids.

This is for someone special to me, someone with whom I share my love of coffee and crafting. She understands so many things about me, and we have many, many jokes. Her birthday recently passed, so I need to get this card in the mail soon. <br />
<br />
I tried my hand at distressing after watching the MIM video on it. I ended up being quite pleased with the results.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I know this is a week late, but better late than never. Last week was Teacher Appreciation Week. I truly appreciate my children's teachers. They are great with my kids, and the things they do, I believe, often go beyond their professional duty. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I decided to make them a little treat, but I had no idea what I was going to do. I ended up using the small pocket from <a href="http://www.papertreyink.com/timeless_templates_download_here.html">Keeping Tabs</a>. Because I don't have a printer that takes PTI cardstock, I had to tape the template and make the cuts. Booooo! I only had to make ten, however. It ended up taking about two hours to cut everything: cardstock and patterned paper. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I used PTI felt and Tiny Tags to create accents and stuffed the pockets with Crackerfuls (our family's favorite) and hot chocolate. </span><b> </b></span><br />

We had to get things for the goodie bags, and instead of buying treats, I decided to make the girls hair clips and bookmarks. We stamped the back of the bookmarks with the girls' names. I was not in the mood to do all that coloring, so luckily, I had a number of images already colored. I only ended up coloring 3 or so. The hula Anya in the bottom picture is one <a href="http://artsiefartsiegurl.blogspot.com/">Leish</a> colored for me a while back to show me how to color hair, which I still SUCK at. Lol. </span></span><br />

It's very simple, but I left it. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to give them. You won't hurt my feelings. Here are the two cards.</span></span><br />

Hi, I'm Deena, and I'm a <a href="http://papertreypaperdolls.blogspot.com/">Papertrey Paper Doll</a>. I've been a doll since the very beginning. I stumbled across Lauren Meader's blog in September 2009, and it led me to PTI, which has been both a blessing and a curse. :) It has truly been a blessing to meet such wonderful people and join such a supportive group. However, every month, I end up feeling like I have no willpower. The Design Team gets me every time! My favorite PTI products are the dies. My favorite set is Take Note or Little Bitty Bird. My favorite PTI color (?) is Kraft, and my favorite PTI combo is Aqua Mist, Kraft, and Dark Chocolate OR Pure Poppy and Hawaiian Shores OR Pure Poppy and Berry Sorbet. <br />
<br />
I am an intermediate school English teacher in Hawai'i. I have two awesome kids and a hubby who tolerates my crafting obsession. I started out as a scrapbooker, and now I'm primarily a card maker. In my spare time, I read and play basketball. I am also a soccer mom who never thought that's what she'd be.<br />
<br />
<br />
I hope you have fun viewing our creations and participating in our first ever blog hop. We have two great prizes up for grabs. By commenting on one of our blogs, you'll have a chance to win the <a href="http://www.papertreyink.com/stamps_madeofsnow.html">Made of Snow</a> set. By participating in <a href="http://papertreypaperdolls.blogspot.com/">our challenge</a> and linking it to our blog, you'll have a chance to win a PTI G.C. worth $25!<br />

I've made them post-its, mini notebooks, card sets, and a bunch of other stuff. I always have to come up with new things because I give their counselor and some of their previous teachers gifties every year. I try to stay away from candy because being a teacher myself, I know that I get a LOT of candy every holiday, more than I can possibly eat. However, being the procrastinator that I am, I knew by Sunday night it had to be something quick and dirty. AND, I knew I had to use TT: Valentine because I bought it last year with the intention of using it every Valentine's Day. So...that's two years of usage. I think I got my money's worth. I CASED <a href="http://valeriestangle.blogspot.com/2011/02/valentine-nugget-treats.html">Val Stangle's project</a>. It was so incredibly easy, and I just had to buy the candy. Woot!</span><b> <br />

Mine is definitely the felt cozies, which I had a blast making. I still use mine regularly. (This post was originally shared May 26, 2010. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Here's the cozy I made for me. Sewing these cozies is so fun. The only issue I'm having is that it seems like the cup has a little curve so I can't quite get the cozy to fit as nicely as I'd like. Plus, my sewing skill is not the greatest, so I guess I'll just have to live with the fit.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">For this cozy I used the larger scallop die. I like it. I also used Nesties Dahlia for the flowers. Now I need more felt. Buwahahahaha. </span></span></span><br />

As I started trying to create a card with Way to Go, Kiddo, I realized that the timing was perfect for my son to get a card. He loves getting them and saves every single one. I cased <a href="http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/page/2/">this card</a> by Nichole. I didn't add the caterpillar and moved the lines, but I like the way it came out. In hindsight, I should not have taken a picture with a yellow background. It makes the card look yellow. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">A little background: My son has had issues in school since he was very young (3). Last year, he was diagnosed with ADHD. We put him on medication and saw his grades go up and his behavior improve. It's been a long road. He's almost 9 now, and it's going on one year of medication soon. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Last week, he had his first high stakes state assessment and passed the math portion...on the first try, and it's only the middle of the year. He also tested for a private school, which he was very excited about. In addition to all of those successes, he's been dealing better with problems that come up. Where he used to get very upset, he's learning to let things go. I want him to know that I see a lot of growth and couldn't be prouder of him. </span><b> </b></span><br />

A few orders ago, I got All-Star Team and All-Star Team Additions. I broke out both sets to do a little decorating on some snack bags. Since it was my turn to bring snacks for my daughter's team, and it was their first game, I thought I'd create a special brown paper sack. Even though it's very simple, I like the way it turned out. Maybe when they get their uniforms, I can add some color. </span><b> </b></span><br />

It's been a while since I've created, but it felt good. I had lots of new toys to play with. I decided to jump in by visiting the Mojo Monday site to get some inspiration. Luckily, what I chose to incorporate in the sketch also fulfills the Papertrey Paper Dolls Challenge. Woot! A twofer. </span></span><br />

I also see using the heart dies for pins for the princess in the very near future. Doesn't every little girl need some Valentine's clippies?</span><b> </b></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Single Layer Card. First time stamping since Christmas. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">I've been loving all the cards I've seen using this set. I wanted to try a one layer card, just to see how the images stamp. I ended up loving this card because of its sheer simplicity. I should add some spica to the leaves, and I'll be a happy camper. </span><b> </b></span><br />

I was thrilled because I needed to find a holder. However, I had also purchased the holder, which I could not...for the life of me...figure out how to attach. Enter the crafty 8-year old son..."Mom, use your cropadile and punch a hole in the top. String the holder through the hole. Duh, I've been telling you that forever. Why don't you listen to me." So I listened, and it worked. And I love him. </span><b> </b></span><br />

When my son was born, a friend came over and showed me what scrapbooking was all about. I'd never kept up with a hobby before. Ever. Until scrapbooking. And the cardmaking started as a way to use scraps. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">And then I found PTI...which fed my cardmaking addiction. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Papercrafting though...has been the only hobby I've ever stuck with. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Recently, I've been missing scrapbooking. I knew I had a ton of work waiting for me.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Here's a baby album I worked on recently. I've had to make a ton of baby albums recently. This one is for someone who doesn't especially like to craft. ***Gasp*** So I made it extremely simple. All she has to do is plop 4X6 pictures into the album. I left some spots for journaling, but she doesn't have to if she doesn't want to. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">And can I just mention how much I love paper lines. It makes it so much easier to put projects together. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Here's what I came up with. I didn't want to use flowers or a circle punch, so I decided to use some leaves I had lying around from another project. I felt like using warm colors. Man, I'm loving that Teracotta Tile. </span></span></span><br />

Seriously. When I saw <a href="http://dawnmcvey.typepad.com/these_are_a_few_of_my_fav/2010/04/introducing-background-basics-woodgrain.html">her card</a>, I knew I wanted to make one like it. Unfortunately, distressing stuff still freaks me out a little, so I didn't get the edges on my card to be like hers. I did the best I could though, and I like the way it turned out. </span></span></span><br />
