Papertrey Ink Make It Monday Challenge

Make It Monday #175:  Creative Card Borders Using Non-Border Dies

Papertrey Ink Challenge by Danielle Flanders.  The following link will take you to the tutorial:  http://www.nicholeheady.typepad.com/

I loves this tutorial, but my Big Shot stopped working and I had to make the border by hand.  I also love that I learned how to crinkle seam binding, which I had seen all over blogs and websites but did not know how to do it.


SUPPLIES

Stamp Sets:
Vintage Ornaments, Vintage Ornament Additions, Happliest of Holidays (text)

Paper:  
Pure Poppy, White and Pure Poppy Pattern Pack

Ink:  
Pure Poppy, Berry Sorbet and Smokey Shadow

Road Trip With Isabella Up The Columbia River Gorge

Gorgeous - Columbia River Gorge.  I never tire of its beauty
 Margie and Isabella in the Columbia River Gorge
 



 As we were parking at the Dam noticed some beautiful old cars.

 Ended up at Bonnevillle Dam to see if there were many fish going up the fish ladder.
