October Afternoon Travel Girl Blog Hop


Welcome to my stop on the October Afternoon Travel Girl blog hop! Today we are celebrating the fun new Travel Girl line:


I am in love with this line, as it has a little bit of everything: clean and graphic prints, whimsical designs, vintage imagery - both older and newer vintage, plus elegant and sophisticated patterns. 

Here's my favorite example of each:
 
Clean and Graphic (B Side of the Train Case Patterned Paper)

Whimsical (A Side of the Mix Tape Patterned Paper)

Vintage (A Side of the Guide Book Patterned Paper)

Elegant and Sophisticated (A Side of the Train Case Patterned Paper)

I mixed some clean and graphic (patterned paper) with older vintage (Sew Fun Banners and Miscellany) with newer vintage (Miscellany) to create this fun little card:


See the postcard and bicycle? Those bits are part of the Sew Fun Banner set from this line:


If you aren't familiar with October Afternoon's Sew Fun Banners, they are a unique and versatile product! Six different double-sided banner sets come in the pack (you are seeing just one side of three of the sets here). You can run them through your sewing machine to create actual banners, can choose just a few pieces and create a smaller banner on a layout or card, can use them as embellishments with dimensional adhesive (the circles are perfect for this!), etc. 

So...or should I say, "sew"...want a chance to win a set of these Sew Fun Banners? If so (if sew...I am having too much fun with this...), please leave a comment below to be entered to win. You have up until Tuesday, June 18th, to leave a comment, as the winner will be announced on Wednesday, June 19th.

Be sure to travel through the entire blog hop, as each of us is giving away a different prize! In all likelihood, you arrived here from Amy Heller's blog. The next stop on the hop is Aleksandra Gadji's blog. Here's the entire list of stops on the blog hop:
