Papertrey Ink Blog Hop - February

February 25th today and time for this month's Papertrey Ink Blog Hop.






There are two things in our house that keep things running.
One is the Mother Word fridge calendar that every appointment and activity is written on for the whole family and the other is the ever growing grocery list.

Oh and making dinners, cooking, laundry, cleaning and pretty much everything else.

So for this month's Papertrey Ink Blog Hop I made a new monogrammed grocery notepad.
I used the M of "Merci" from Think Big Favorites #3 and masked off the 'erci' for my monogram. I hope you are not getting sick of me using Background Basics Medallion so often, but it really is a stamp set that has so many possibilities. I love how every colour combination has a different effect.




Enjoy the rest of the hop!

All supplies are from Papertrey Ink unless otherwise noted.

Cardstock:  White, Spring Rain
Patterned Paper: Spring Rain Patterned Paper pack
Stamps: Background Basics Medallion, Tag Its #3, Think Big Favorites #3
Ink:  Spring Moss, Spring Rain, Blueberry Sky
Dies:  Loopy border

    Oh, this is gorgeous and brilliant, and I want one just for me. And, since I have the same letter last name, I can not just CASE, but literally copy, right down to the last itty bitty bit. I wish I thought of this, and am so happy I can just make one of my own. Grocery shopping will never be the same.

    Clever girl, Tracey, that "M" is perfect for a monogram! Plus I love it on the striped background. Great tone-on-tone effect!

    This is so lovely! What a great idea to mask the sentiment to use that beautiful "M" as a monogram. I might actually make a grocery list every week if my notepads were this pretty! LOL

    Very cool, Tracey. ;-) Very clever on your masking for the 'M' monogram! And I never get tired of seeing the Medallion backgrounds - they're just so cool. ;-)

    Wow, Tracey, you've elevated grocery lists to the stratosphere! What a stunning notepad this would be for the purse. Or, you have to promise me that you will figure out a way to attach it to the outside of your purse if you're going to use it for a grocery list, so you can show it off. And be prepared to spend a LOT of time shopping as every woman you pass will injure herself doing a double-take. You will have to stop as each one ooohs and aaahs and asks you where on earth you got such a posh pad!! I'm just saying.
