Papertrey Ink Blog Hop!

Wow its been so long since I have had time to participate! So here we are! Today the challenge is all about office supplies. Straight from Nichole's blog:
For this month's blog hop we are focusing on office supplies! We want to see you incorporate all of those fun desk drawer fillers into your paper crafting projects. This can include paper clips, binder clips, rubber bands, file folders, staples, binder rings, adhesive labels, post-it notes, index cards or whatever else you can dream up. Reinvent these basic office staples to be hip and trendy additions to your projects! We look forward to seeing your creations!
So here is what I have to offer. I have to say I am not huge on office supplies. I do love a good post it note, and I really like funky paperclips but other than that... I used two sets on this card. PTI: Take Note and Top 10. I have a summer sunrise base, lemon tart note, and kraft label. The ribbon is Harvest Gold and the ink is dark chocolate. I gave another little nod to office supplies with my three yellow staples.
