My Happy Place!: A Week with Wishing You

Wishing You - the stamp set that started my crazy addiction/obsession/loyalty to Papertrey Ink. Designed by Melissa Bickford, this set is full of beautiful images and sentiments for just about every occasion. It was released in March of 2009, just after I first discovered PTI and I couldn't wait to get it! It was the first set from PTI that I put in my cart, and I haven't looked back since! I get very excited any time that I see Melissa has a new set coming out - it pretty much means that I'm a goner for the month.

Several different sizes of tulips are available in this set, along with 2 oval shaped images, stems with leaves, a dragonfly and clusters of tulips. You can see Melissa's highlights of this set when it was released if you click here and scroll down a bit. And here you can see Nichole's countdown post when the set was highlighted on her blog.

On this first card of my Week with Wishing You I'm highlighting the cluster of tulips, along with two of the small "free" tulips.

As you can see, this set works well to build your own background if you want. You can also use the images as a focal point, as I'll do tomorrow. Come back then!

Pat said...: What an awesome concept this is! Too often my new sets get all the love and my former favorites get shoved in the corner. Nice to see you focus on some oldies, but goodies. I'll be back to see the rest of the week.; July 2, 2010 at 4:10 PM

Katie said...: What a great background! I don't know if I'd have the patience to line them all up like you did, but perhaps I could manage to create a 'tilted' version with the tulips at different angles.; July 12, 2010 at 3:50 PM
