The Paper Girls Challenge blog hop!

Welcome to The Paper Girls first ever blog hop!
We're so happy you're hopping with us!!

{First of all I want to apologize in case my post doesn't make sense! It's been a loooooonnnngggg week. I'm running on very little sleep, survived tornadoes, power outage, and now to top it off I think I have the flu. So I hope you can make some sense of this all!}


I love that we chose to make ATCs for this hop . I made several with a Spring theme:

My first one is very simple - I cut out some Webster's Pages paper, stamped "Spring time", added a die-cut butterfly,  attached a ruffle of washi tape at the top, and glittered the butterflies and flowers.


I'm starting to acquire quite the washi tape collection so I thought I could utilize that stash to make an ATC. I attached diagonal strips of tape to white cardstock, made a tape flower, added a tape banner, and then stamped the word bloom.


The last one is my fave:
I misted white cardstock with blue glimmer mist, stamped a brown branch, punched white flowers, added a yellow glittered center, inked the edges gray, and added 3 butterflies.
But I feel like it needs a sentiment. Or am I wrong? Let me know what you think!
Also linking this to Stampin Sisters in Christ challenge #137 which is to use your "green thumbs", meaning something planted or something green.


Here's a reminder of what you can win on the hop:
Man, I wish I was eligible to win. ; )
I love that monster paper!
And who couldn' use an adhesive dispenser??

I'm excited about all the ATC inspiration. I've heard of them but never seen any! Hmmm, gotta go check out all the others so I can decide what I'm gonna do for my first one.

You rocked it girl, I think the last one could use some kind of lettering but not exactly sure what. Great inspiration all around.

Love your ATC's - especially the blue one. I think it's perfect as it - no sentiment needed.

I love the third ATC with the stamped branch and added flowers. It was such an "aha" for me and I think I will have to steal that idea.
