This month Nichole challenged us to use stamp sets that hadn't seen ink.
"With the new year comes a clean slate along with many resolutions. This month's blog hop challenge involves you challenging yourself to use a Papertrey stamp set that has yet to see ink or even one that might be collecting a little dust! Go through your stash and see what little used treasure it might hold. If you are in need of inspiration for your chosen set, feel free to utilize the gallery posted in the side bar of each set's sale page on our website, or go to the Previous Countdown page on Nichole's blog where each set is organized by month of release. 2011 is the year where what's old is new again!"
I'm still working with the sets I got for Christmas, so choosing a set wasn't that difficult.
I loved all the countdown projects done with Love Lives Here. The sentiments alone had me hooked, then the cute distressed images just pushed me over the edge. I also pulled out a new-to-me die to complete this card.
I'm pretty much smitten with this card - the first in a while that I want to hold onto instead of give away (although I think it's going to my hubby, so it won't be going far).
Thanks for stopping by!

Oh my! You've done it agian! So Shabby-licious and folksy chic. I have been avoiding the trio die like the plague. After seeing your beautiful card, I can't really remember why? Thanks for that. Grrrr. *wink*
This is such a cute card.

Oh, I love how you framed the little houses! Love the colors too. :)
This is SO adorable!
This card looks like perfection to me! You should keep it and display it.
I'm thinking that I'm pretty smitten with this too! Smitten enough to buy this set! (I bought the dies but not the set). This would be perfect for a man card!
Such an adorable card! Love the soft color combo!
I love it too! What a great way to use the two dies!
What a lovely card! The textured background is the perfect touch!
I LOVE this card! The colors are FAB and the houses ~ what can I say??!!! LOVE the canvas impression plate. I always use the other side but because of you, I'm going to have to flip it! FAB FAB card!
This is a fabulous design! Love the colors, those darling houses, and the simple embellishment. This hop has definitely convinced me to put this set on my wish list!
This is seriously cute! I love the houses with the alternating colors, and the embossing!

Oh how did I miss this?! (I think I got lost hopping all over) I love your card! So clever to use the take 3 die and pop the houses into it. This is perfect! and I love the colors, too!
I don't blame you for wanting this to stay close- it's fab!! The houses in the windows are a great detail!!!
These houses are just darling in their little "windows"! I had resisted that set, but this card just put it on my wishlist!!
Like everyone else, I love the windows you created with the Take 3 die for the houses. Very inventive! I need to try this.
This card is so beautiful! And you chose the perfect color combo! Thanks for sharing!
Nicely done!
Amy.......I can't blame you one iota for wanting to keep this one. It's absolutely gorgeous! Love the colors the sentiment you chose, those little houses.....EVERYTHING! Just a beautiful card!
Wow! I LOVE this! What a great use of the Take Three Die! Those little houses fit in there perfectly! And I really love the color combination. Smoky Shadow is the only PTI ink color I don't have. But that will change once we get the new ink! It's understandable that you are smitten with this card...I am too!
This is a darling card Amy! I love those little houses peeking out of the windows, what a great idea!
cute! i like how you used the Take 3 die
What a beautiful card! I love how you combined those two dies and made the window for this. Great colors! I'd keep this too!
Love it, love it, love it and the colour combo is fab.
