There's something to be said for truly admiring what a company does and how they do it. Every aspect of Papertrey Ink, from the stamp designs and products to the amazing design team, has always left me awestruck. And then there's Nicole. Holy moly Nichole. The lady is amazing. Class act. All together, they've been my gold standard for a long time. Which makes this chance to join them even that much sweeter for me. I'm feeling at home. It's as perfect of a match as their ink to their cardstock.
So, you'll be seeing lots of PTI projects from me as a member of the release team. And maybe a few extracurricular activities as well, but it isn't yet my place to talk about those yet. :) Like I said, I'm feeling right at home. Finally. And that apparently includes a little teasing and taunting, which PTI does so well every month between the 5th and the 9th. Happy girl over here.
For my first official PTI duty, I'm participating in the design team favorites scavenger hunt. A little card I made using my favorite PTI stamps from 2009, Silhouette goodies (sun and clouds), and some My Mind's Eye and October Afternoon papers.
You might have noticed that I haven't mentioned the actual NAME of my favorite Papertrey stamp set, which is the only set I used in my project today. Today's anniversary contest involves you seeking out the name of each design team members favorite set as part of a scavenger hunt. You may recognize the set instantly or it may need to do a bit of research in the Papertrey store HERE.
Each of the design team members have been assigned a number in accordance with their scavenger hunt order. You'll notice according to the graphic at the top of this post I am stop number 1. Create your numbered list and head over to Nichole's blog to enter to win ALL ELEVEN of the team's favorite stamp sets! Be sure not to delay, because the contest ends on February 2nd at 7am EST. The winners will be announced by noon the same day on the February Release Winners page. Have fun and good luck!

Hey, congratulations! I like the card. (We could use some more sunshine around here.)
ReplyDeleteSo excited to hear you've joined PTI Erin!! I've become a PTI addict thanks to you and your wonderful enabling! ;-) And I've been positively in love with their stamps for 2 years now, all their products are wonderful. And also speaking of enabling, I have you to thank for another recent aquired addiction, the Outlander books. I heard about them from you last september and spent Thanksgiving through new years reading the first five books and I can truly say I'm in love with Jaime!! , he,he. I've had to take a little break from reading to attend to my family and house! But will soon pick up again with book 6 and then to wait 2 years for book 8??! Torture!!!
