“Christmas is the prefect time to show appreciation to those in our lives and communities! I am always on the lookout for inexpensive but heartfelt gift ideas. The Tent Style Packaging die is the perfect way to wrap up store bought treats, homemade goodies, or small trinkets. They are also petite in size, making decorating them quick and easy! The It’s A Sign: Hanging Frames set is the perfect addition to these mini gifts!”
“Sweet and simple is my most created kind of card and that style is great when it comes to mass producing. With just a few colors of ink, a few runs through the die-cut machine and a beautiful holiday set, like It’s A Sign: Christmas Sentiments, you could create a set of Christmas cards in no time!”

CHALLENGE
Answer the following question: Besides white, what color does Laurie use the most?
EDITED TO ADD THE RANDOMLY SELECTED WINNER
Congratulatiosns, Laraine R! You will be entered to win the weekly prize!
Laurie does not say in her blog post what colour, other than white, she uses the most so I will just guess it is red based on the photos.
Laurie loves Pure Poppy and usd it on both of today’s projects. Just beautiful, Laurie!?
Poppy Red! Cute little gifties Laurie!
Black is one of Laurie’s most used colors.
So after looking awhile on win it Wednesday back in February of 2019 I remember her doing a blog post on her favourite card stocks, they were Pure Poppy and Aqua Mist at the time. But not sure if those are her two favourite colours now.
Can I update my answer since the blog got updated? Per the updated blog post her favourite coloured paper stock is Black .
Unless I’m missing something, there is nothing in today’s Ink to Paper blog, or in Laurie’s blog either, that would give me the answer. I just love this month long project blog and all the wonderful ideas it is bringing-Thanks Ink to Paper.
Laurie uses a lot of Aqua Mist, her favorite PTI color.
I read and re read the blog and could not find the answer so I am going to say red, green and black.
I am guessing green, but can’t locate the answer anywhere on her blog post. Love her creations, though!
SWOON!! LOVE the creations for today and the FUN It’s a Sign Products!!
Laurie LOVES Aqua Mist, uses it Year Round and its her ALL Time FAVORITE PT Color!!
THANKS for sharing and for the chance to WIN!! Have a FABULOUS WEEK!!
I believe that her favorite colour is Aqua Mist.
Laurie does not specify a color she uses the most in her blog. On this project she used Pure Poppy the most. In general she says that she loves Aqua Mist year-round so that may be what she uses most in general.
looks like red is the color Laurie has used the most on these cute packages.
My guess is the color black.
This is a guess, because I can’t find it anywhere! I know she uses Pure Poppy a lot, but her favorite is Aqua Mist.
It looks like she uses red the most (pure poppy).
Besides white Laurie uses red the most.
