Papertrey Ink: Special Delivery !


Happy Valentine's Day!! 
I had cards and little candy treats for a few of the men in my life 
and received a beautiful bouquet of flowers today. After a blizzard 
yesterday, it was nice to wake up to a sunny (but very white) morning!!
 
Today is the final challenge for Papertrey Ink's 7th Anniversary Celebrations
I have been in a whirlwind of card stock, paper, inks, dies, ribbons and crafty goodness. My craft room looks like  maniac has been on a rampage! 
Today's challenge gives "free rein" to make a card and coordinating envelope. 

 I had started this card earlier for the timed 
challenge (use 7 supplies and create a card in 17 minutes)
I was almost finished my card when I realized I had used 8 supplies and 
way too much time to qualify!! So .... I set it aside and finished it later by 
adding a detailed interior. Today I made a matching envelope. This is ready to 
hand deliver to one of my nieces for her birthday later in the spring.  
I used this card from one of my Pinterest boards as my "inspiration". 
(Thanks to Dawn McVey!!)
