Welcome everyone to the February Papertrey Blog Hop! We are so thrilled to see you here! First, the challenge…
This month we decided to dedicate the Blog Hop to scallops! We want to see your best use of scallops, of any sort, on a project! This can include scalloped borders, offset-scallops, stamped scallops, scalloped mats, scalloped frames, layered scallops, scalloped tags or anything else you can dream up! You can use dies, patterned scissors or even circle punches in a row to achieve your special look. We are looking forward to seeing all of your amazing creations!
I have included an inlinkz list below for you to add your link to your blog hop project. This new type of link list will allow you to select a thumbnail to go along with your link, making it easy to go back and find a project later that might have perked your interest.
You have until 11:00pm EST tonight (February 25th) to add your link to this list. THREE random participants will be selected to win a FREE Papertrey Ink stamp set of their choice. They will be announced and highlighted here, on my blog, tomorrow morning. We look forward to seeing all of your creations!
EDITED TO ADD THE RANDOMLY SELECTED WINNERS:
Jazzytobi created this stunner with offset scallops stamped with In Bloom. Her color scheme as well as the simple ribbon accent are a perfect pair. Her soft color addition around the sentiment focal point help to lend a lovely delicacy to the project.
Jessica Davis layered a few scalloped borders at the bottom of her card, which brings together a bright & unique color scheme. I love how she carried the color scheme into her background, which is stamped with images from the new Delightful Doilies stamp set.
Joyce M cleverly used a scalloped circle to create a folded "flap" for her flower pot. I also love how she layered all of the flowers from In Bloom to create a bouquet. The twine & button accent around the pot is a perfect finishing detail.
Wow this is SOME excitement! LOL! I’ve been clicking on here since 5 minutes before! LOL!
Thanks for this chance to hang out!
xoxo Can’t wait to see the other projects!
Thanks for the challenge Nicole. I could play all day if it wasn’t for my dang job!
Super fun challenge! Thanks!
I just love scallops. đ I’m going to be sitting here all day checking out everyone’s scallops! (hee hee)
There are some really creative cards here. Pretty, pretty.
What a fun challenge!! Thanks!
If we made two scalloped cards, should we post twice with two different thumbnails for our two cards?
Anyone know why my card isn’t showing here? I linked it to PTI’s gallery, and it does link up correctly? Hate to sound stupid but this is new to me. Thanks!

So glad I got a chance to play this month!
Well I totally did not post my card right but it’s there! I couldn’t get my blog post to show up so had to direct link my card. This is fun though. The first time I’ve ever participated in a blog hop! Thanks Nichole!
I just post my Card!!! this is awesome!!! I love those dies!!!
Great Challenge. This is my first time entering – Thank-you so much for letting me play.
Well, I started making a St Patrick’s Day card a few days ago without even knowing what the blog hop challenge was and to my great surprise it was scallops…. which is on my card! YAY!!! I love it when things work out like that! I’m hoping to put the finishing touches on it as soon as “Who do you think you are” is over and then posting. HEE HEE HEE!!!!
So glad I had a moment to link up my little card! I think I got the Google reader thing set now! Thanks for your help today!
Pattie

My goal this year is create my own blog so I can play too! Thanks for the chance! đ
Cheers~
Q!
Oh my goodness, I have never seen so many beautiful cards in one place before! You are all so amazing and creative. I don’t have a blog so I can’t play along but it sure is fun to watch and be inspired!
Rats, Blogger did some weird stuff to my post and I couldn’t get a thumbnail of my card and then InLinkz was closed as I struggled to get it to work! If anyone cares to see it anyway my post is @ http://maricopastamper.blogspot.com/2011/02/papertrey-ink-february-2011-blog-hop.html
I’ll try to remember to start earlier next month!!!
Great cards ladies…love scallops!
Congrats ladies! I’m glad a Joyce won even though it wasn’t me:)
I’m so excited to have won!!! And to see what Nichole says about my card….awesome!!!!
I was completely shocked to see my card posted as a winner. I really appreciate the nice things Nicole said about my card. Although I had made that card to give to my daughter as a surprise during her upcoming trip, I had to show it to her posted on the website. She was so excited for me, and she promises to be surprised when she actually gets the card. Now, what stamp set to pick from the many on my wish list…
WOW!!! This awesome! It’s incredible how much talent is out here!
I love vintage doilies & scallops are always an integral part of them! Thanks 4 all the inspiration out there!
it makes you wonder where people get the idea that short-term planning will yield immediate rewards.
Excellently written article, if only all bloggers offered the same content as you, the internet would be a much better place. Please keep it up! Cheer
