Hello and Welcome to the Papertrey Paper Dolls Blog Hop!
(My second post for the day!)
We are so glad you are joining us today and hope that you will hop along with us as we get to know each other better. Perhaps you can even play along with our challenge!
The theme for this blog hop is PTI. We decided to pay tribute to the reason why we are all here in the first place - a love for all things Papertrey Ink. Each creation you see along the hop this week will have something that starts with a P, something that starts with a T and something that starts with an I on it. Here's your opportunity to see some great projects and get a chance to win a PTI stamp set called Made of Snow just by leaving a comment on one of the blogs and by participating in the challenge you can get a chance to win a $25 PTI gift certificate.
In addition to viewing wonderful and varied creations, you will be able to read a little bit more about each member of this blog group and get to know all the girls better. For example, a little bit more about me...C!
Name: Cecilia
Nickname: C
Location: Raleigh, NC
Age: 40 (yikes!)
Status: Married with one fabulous step-son (Hi Will!)
What I do to pay for my PTI addiction: Lawyer
Favorite PTI product: Dies!!!

Favorite PTI stamps: Really? No way!
Now for a chance to see what I created for the blog hop...
P - Polka Dot Basics Impression Plate
T- Terracotta Tile Cardstock & Buttons
I - Impression Plate (Linen & Canvas)
I wanted to make a round card since I NEVER make round cards. I also wanted to use my impression plates (love!) and my Color Couture papers. I also managed to make a card without using a single stamp or any ink...wow! I still managed to fulfill the blog hop requirements and even stepped out of my comfort zone. Yeah me! For a list of the supplies used on this card check the bottom of this post.The next stop for you on the blog hop is Michelle's Blog. Hop on over to see what the rest of the Dolls have in store for you. Remember, by leaving a comment on one of the blogs one lucky person will win the Made of Snow stamp set and by participating in the challenge and posting the project to the main Papertrey Paper Dolls site one lucky duck will win a $25 PTI gift certificate...go ahead, what have you got to lose!
Thanks and keep on hopping...

Funny the way you did your interview seems very "lawyerish" to me!!! Hahaha. Your card is yummy!!! And like you I don't think I could name a favorite PTI stamp set. I'm still collecting them:)
Gorgeous card, C! I love everything about this, especially the color combo.
I am in LOVE with your shaped card! It is fun, cheerful, and totally made me smile. Great, great job!
Oh, this is just fabulous C,love it!!
C, this is so cute! I love that you made a round card! I also enjoyed seeing Color Couture on here because I rarely see cards with the CC products! Very, very cute!
Very nice! I never thought of making a round card.
I love the round card and the colors you chose! So beautiful! I love the flowers! Everything is so bright and bold and happy!
Great card, love your color combo. How fun to have your Paper Dolls group.

So glad to get to be a Doll with you and get to know you better!
What a fun challenge! I love the round card and the colors are so pretty together! Great job!
I love the round card. I love the impression plate. I love the Color Couture. Okay, I LOVE this card. Beautiful!
LOVE that your card is round and the beautiful layers of embellies! FUN!
What a neato bandito card! I love that it's round! And those flowers, so happy!
You live in NC? I've been telling my hubby that I want to visit there! One of these days..
Wow! What a lovely card!
Oh my gosh I am LOVING your card!! It sure doesn't look like you stepped outside of your comfort zone...it looks like you were made to make a round card. Great job! I also loved your little bio, very cute :)
Such a fabulous color combination ~ so PTI :) Your flowers came out lovely and the shape card is awesome.
C this is a wonderful card. Everything about this is perfect ~ the colors, the layout, the texture, etc. Love it all. It's been great getting to know you a bit better. I love Raleigh, NC. Such a great place.
I love the card, in fact, I simply love all of it!! And it is awesome that you went out of your comfort zone- you definitely succeeded in making an amazing card!
Having a great time getting to know all the *dolls* :-)... I was actually born in Raleigh (but got to TX as quick as possible, lol)... however, I've always wanted to go and visit, especially now that my mom has passed away. I'd love to see the area she loved and lived in before I was born. I know it is so beautiful from all the pictures I see!
Gorgeous card, C!!! I LOVE that you did a circle card, I've never done that! I'm so inspired by that color combo too.
How cool that you went to UCSD! And the good old days - when Third was Third, and Fifth was Fifth :) I'm so glad to be a part of the Dolls!
Love the fun color combo and Color Couture elements on your card!
My jaw dropped when I saw your card! It's so fun and cheerful! Love it! I'm so glad you used Color Couture. I need to use mine more often. I've always admired the cards that showcase your coloring skills. Can you come over and teach me? Thanks for sharing a bit of yourself with us.
Really awesome card! Circles and Impression Plates work for you.
What a fun card - love that it's round! The flowers and colors are so cheerful and make me think Spring! :)
Great card. Love the flowers and the circle shape.
How fun is this!!!! I love those bright cheery colors! All the layers are perfect!
Love your circle card and the dry embossing with such cheerful flowers. Great choice of colors and appears as though this is your normal style ~ nothing out of the norm. Could have fooled me!
Oh my, these are absolutely stunning--all of the creations that I am seeing on your blogs. I just discovered the Paper Dolls and am so excited that I have added all of you to my favorites for inspiration. Thank you!
Hi C! You are one busy person! I love the shape of your card and that color combo! It's one that I wouldn't have thought of but boy it sure packs a punch! Yay for you not stamping but using your "other" PTI products! I love the IP too!
Very fun!! I've never played with the color couture things before, they look great!! Love the circle!!
Love the round shape and the colors are fab! :)
super cute card!!
This is totally cute C! I love the round shape and the IP is gorgeous!
wow! nice color combo! and I LOVE the shaped card, and all the texture!!
Love the idea of the shaped card, as well as the boldness of the color combo! Great card, C!
Your card is great...love those flowers!
Oh my goodness your card is totally amazing!
Wow, a card with no stamping ! That is unusual for a PTI addict. I love your round card. I rarely make that type of card either. I have followed your cards for some time. I love the work you do on scrapbook pages also.
A stamp free card!?! You pulled it off beautifully! :)
Yikes! I just realized I never left you some love for this terrific card! I think I was so excited to hop around and see all of the projects and to get to know more about all of the dolls that I didn't get backto leaving comments on everyone's blogs! SOOO sorry! I didn't realize that you live in Raleigh...we were in Durham for a couple days last summer to visit my SIL (who has since moved back here to UT.) We're flying in to Greensboro this summer to visit another SIL and then we'll drive up to Lynchburg, VA to visit my family. Anyway...how do you tolerate that humidity?!?
I love that you stretched yourself for this card...it came out lovely!
