Papertrey Ink + Rolled Roses = Fun!

Hello, friends!  Boy, I haven't been around in a while and I miss it so!   Life is so B*U*S*Y these days that I'm lucky I even got to make any cards, let alone photograph them, upload them, and then blog about them!  Believe it or not I made these cards over the weekend, but this is the first chance I've had to blog them.  Sorry I haven't been around to visit or comment...SIGH!  The sad part is, this is only the beginning...it just gets busier from here on out...once spring hits, I'm gone until summer! 

Anyway, I am so excited because I ordered my first EVER stamps from Papertrey Ink (thank you for my gift certificate award, Susan...it was a big help!).  I have been eyeing several sets for quite some time, and while I have a bazillion sentiments already, I couldn't resist adding THIS set to my collection.  I also ordered THIS cool set...can't wait to play with these wreaths!  Finally, I ordered various colors of wool felt...yummy!

I was also excited to play with the My Favorite Things Mini Rolled Roses dies I ordered from Simon Says Stamp! (That's why I wanted the wool felt!).  This time around I made some rolled roses out of patterned paper.



Here they are individually.  I added red Stickles around the edge of the scallop and inside the rose on this first card.


I added a brown pearl on the inside of this rose.


Yep, I really like these sentiments AND the rolled roses.  FUN!

OK, back to the mad rush...wish me luck!  See you all soon...I hope!

    I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing these lovely rolled roses - and yours are so pretty against that lovely stripe, Judy!

    Love your new purchases, Judy! I only have a couple of stamps from PTI; am longing for some of their flower dies!! The budget won't allow for it now though. The striped pp you used is so richly colored! Love these cards.
