It's time for another Papertrey Ink Blog Hop! For details check out www.papertreyink.com Here is what Dawn says about the challenge... "Since we just finished up our 3rd Anniversary Festivities, we thought we would do something extra special for this month's Blog Hop! Design Team Appreciation Day! Your challenge is to go through the Design Team gallery or any of the Design Team Members' blogs and find a project that is especially inspirational to you! Then recreate the project with your own spin, making it unique!..."
Well, after finding PTI over a year ago I started checking out the DT Blogs and the one that really caught my eye was Dawn McVey's. There was always something about her projects that drew me in. Her Raspberry Suite is still the first place I go for inspiration when my creative mojo is low. Thanks Dawn!
For this challenge I came across this cute card. You can find it here on Dawn's blog.
Here is my take on her card. What I really loved about Dawn's card was the layout, so that I kept that the same. I used Orange Zest, Summer Sunrise, Kraft & Vintage Cream. The Kraft is stamped with Polka Dot Basics II in Dark Chocolate. Then I added a Flourish in White - which is something else I have seen Dawn do and have always wanted to try! I love the big Saddle Stitched bow with the button! After I added the butterflies from Butterfly Kisses (stamped on Bitty Box PP), I started looking for a sentiment. I had just gotten Signature Greetings and when I saw "You Make Me Smile" I thought that was perfect. 
Here is a close up of the details!
Thanks for checking it out and commenting! I loved being able to participate in another PTI Blog Hop!
