PTI March Blog Hop

I can't believe it is PTI blog hop time again. The 25th really sneaks up on me. Here are the details for this months challenge:

Background building sets have rapidly become one of Papertrey's signature traits. For this month's Blog Hop, we want to see all of your very best backgrounds. They can be multi-colored or monochromatic. Simple or elegantly detailed. They can be created with a set originated for that purpose or a reinvention of images that were not. Be sure to include a separate photo of your completed background BEFORE you add it to your project so we can see it in all its glory! (From Papertrey Ink website)

So, I was one of the unfortunate ones who did not get Guidelines 2, before it sold out on release night. I was so bummed!! I can't wait to see what everyone did with this set. Mine is finally on its way. I was able to get one Tuesday morning! Anyway, I used Background Basics:Retro and Simple Little Things for my background paper and let me tell you this challenge did not come easy for me!! (I guess that's why they call it a challenge!! {wink}
I made 3 backgrounds, but only one card! I just couldn't pull these cards together. I am so looking forward to seeing everyone's creations!

Here is my paper:
