Today I wanted to jump in on PTI's monthly blog hop because the theme is "challenging yourself to use a Papertrey stamp set that has yet to see ink or even one that might be collecting a little dust!" Well, that one appealed to me because I haven't had any time to use my PTI stamps....and this one particular stamp In hadn't even inked yet!
I call it "Journey in a Jar" combining the very sweet Friendship Jar set and Up, Up and Away... it has a sort of fairy tale dream feel don't you think? I little vacation in a jar idea which in the middle of all this snow sounds wonderful! :)
Coloring is done with Copic markers, adding the partial clouds template side the lines of the jar....and then at the bottom for a sentiment.
Now...I'd like to introduce to you someone new and beautiful....
It's our new nephew. Born just 1 day ago and we met him Monday afternoon. He is absolutely gorgeous, perfect round little head, beautiful soft inquisitive eyes, a button nose, chubby cheeks, soft fuzzy hair....oh I could go on and on. He's beautiful. And I can't wait to hold him again tomorrow! I am so overcome with that sense of wonder in his little life! Grateful to God for his safe arrival and his presence in our family, so happy for my brother and sister-in-law and niece (now a big sister!). Sigh!
Thanks for dropping by!
