PTI Video Series with Shauna Todd – Pop-Up Florals

Guest Designer – Shauna – Feathered Friends

August Senior DT Challenge

July 31, 2009      Nichole Heady      15 Comments

Hello everyone!  I apologize in advance for my silence since arriving here at the CHA events!  Just a few hours of sleep each night is what I've been able to muster up and I am afraid it hasn't allowed for much blogging! 

Today was the first day that the official Papertrey booth opened up for business.  I have some unbelievable stories and photos to share with you at a later date.  Probably when I settle back in on Tuesday!

The real reason I am writing is to share the amazing results of this month's senior challenge.  It was all about patterns and combining different ones successfully.

One of my personal biggest struggles is combining different patterns in a way that is pleasing to the eye and yet maintains an overall clean & simplistic look.  I am always trying to learn from others when it comes to this type of knack, and what better people to learn from than our very own design team!  Be sure to check out all of the wonderful tips that the Design Team members have compiled for you along with beautiful project to support these tips.

I hope you have enjoyed the inspiration as much as I have!  And that note, I am going to sign off so that I may get a bit of sleep before have to wake again in a few hours to report to the Papertrey booth!  Thank you for stopping by today!!!!

    I am glad to hear that CHA is going so well for PTI! I knew you would be a success!!

    I too struggle with combining patterns. Some people just have an eye for it.

    I love all the samples from the DT, but I am absolutely drooling over Becky’s cards- just beautiful!

    Love the inspiration! I always hesitate to combine patterns, I see that is nonsense! Thank you for opening my horizon! (I hope that`s a common phrase??)

    I was at CHA Friday and let me just say the booth was AMAZING, YOU are AMAZING, the people working your booth were AMAZING, the special stamp set was AMAZING, the t-shirt was AMAZING! And on and on….. Thank you so much for all of the time and work you put into it. Your booth definitely had the biggest buzz! I am SO GLAD I was able to be there in person and I can’t wait to receive all of my new goodies in the mail!

    CHA sounds like an exciting place to be and I knew your booth would be the “happening place” with all Papertrey’s talented people showing off the wonderful products. I am so envious of all who got to attend. Maybe someday it will be held in the midwest. Can’t wait to see the photos from CHA.
