PTI March Blog Hop {One Of A Kind}




This is the inspiration photo for this month's Papertrey Ink Blog Hop.  There were so many things in this photo that inspired my project.  The main colors obviously, the little treat bags with their pinked edges, the little Swedish fish candies, the polka dots, and finally the small hint of green from the one ball candy and the inside of the lollipops.


Aren't these little fish cute? 
I think I stamped and cut out about 12 of them:)



It's rainy here today and I'm feeling under the weather.  Perfect day to plant myself on the couch, rest, and check out all of the wonderful Blog Hop projects. (Even though I should be doing laundry)




Cardstock/Paper: PTI White, Lemon tart, Spring Moss, Aqua Mist Polka Dot Paper
Stamps: PTI Simply You, Friends 'Til The End, Tiny Treats Valentine
Ink: PTI Spring Moss, Memento Black
Dies: PTI Seed Packet Die, Tiny Tags
Other: Pinking Shears, Copics, Satin Ribbon, MM Safety Pin
