I've been with
Papertrey Ink since February of 2011, exactly a year now, and what a year it
has been! Becoming a designer here has been a wonderful experience
for me. Papertrey has truly the best bunch of girls - each with a heart of gold. Everyone was welcoming to me from day one. We chat a lot about our daily lives, and it's so nice to be able to trust and confide in them! Not only are they all creative, but so very genuine as well. I feel proud to be a part of this group!
I have learned a lot about myself as a designer this past year. It's funny because I never really thought of myself as a stamper when PTI asked me to join. I loved making cards, but had limited stamp sets. I used mostly just patterned paper and punches. I've learned a lot from the other team members this year, and it challenged me when I saw their beautiful, innovative work with stamps and dies! The possibilities really amazed me! I loved the
challenges Nichole gave us each month, sometimes they pushed me slightly beyond my comfort zone, and that is always a good thing. I have to tell you that being on this team really ignited my passion for paper crafting again!! What can I say...stamping is fun! :)
One of my favorite projects from this past year were these
Butterfly Birthday Party Invitations I made for my daughter's 6th birthday. The possibilities of creating with these
Glassine Bags are endless. So many fun things you can do with them! Love how they are so light and airy, and love how whatever you put inside peeks through! My daughter loved these invitations to bits!
I used
Spring Mix buttons on this project as well - can't go wrong with these when you have two daughters to scrapbook and years of party invitations to make. :) The stamps are the
Blooming Button Bits, so cute. I think all of the Button Bits sets are some of the most creative stamp sets I've seen.
My last 2 favorite Papertrey items are
Pure Poppy ink, because I seem to use that one and Hawaiian Shores the MOST out of all my inks....and lastly, the
Rustic Twine, which I could use on every single project.
Papertrey Ink has a challenge
on their blog today, based on the designers' favorite projects. Choose one project and create something using that as your inspiration. You may win a HUGE collection of Papertrey Ink products!

I love these little packages - so adorable. Thanks for sharing your favourite five with us.
Danielle, your Butterfly Birthday Invites are one of my favorites. I already had it saved as an inspiration. In fact this is the project that "made me" order some glassine bags. Now I just need to decorate some and put to good use.
You're totally amazing with PTI! I think you're just fabulous.
Thank you so much!!
Happy anniversary! Love this project you picked today! It's gorgeous!! The favorite things you picked as well! I've never created anything with the glassine bags you mention, but it's tempting the way you write about it and show us this gorgeous example! Thanks for all the inspiration!
Hugs, Wendy

Oh I do love those invitations! Thank you for making wonderful creations this past year, Danielle!My dd is expecting her second dd and I am going to use your project for inspiration in making our invites to a "welcome to the world" party for the baby.
Your projects always get me so enthused and I think I need some of those glassine bags also. I have been "eyeing" all the little bags for so long but have not bought any of them. Thanks for all your inspiration and continued success!
