Here is the sketch:

For my card I used the GORGEOUS new Snowflakes Falling sentiment stamp that was just released November 1st. I just love how elegant and beautiful this sentiment is. For my card, I used Ruby Red and Vanilla cardstock along with some Cosmo Cricket designer paper. The vanilla felt snowflakes are from Hero Arts and I added some gold snowflake buttons and gold self adhesive pearls to spice them up a bit.

If you just started the blog hop here, head on over to Christie's blog to start from the beginning (because you won't want to miss anything!).... My fellow Prettie Girls surprised me by making this a belated Birthday blog hop! What a nice surprise to get my day off to good start! Thanks ladies, this totally made my day!!!!!

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you all have a terrific day!

Some Halloween bits and pieces and a Prettie Party!

I hope you all had a Happy Halloween. Today I thought I would share a few of our Halloween pics. These first pics are of the Frankenstein treat bags that I made for the kids' Halloween parties at school (plus a few extras for our neighbor kids). I ended up making a total of 40 of these (It took me 10 hours).

Here are my little trick or treaters

Our carved pumpkins.

I also have a couple Prettie reminders... The "My Favorite Things" contest ends today. The last 3 Prettie Previewers are:

Jana: Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Jackie: Silver white winters
and
Christi: That melt into spring

Be sure to go to the Paper Pretties gallery and comment your favorite thing about each card and you'll have a chance to win the set!!!
If you haven't already, be sure to comment on my 2 preview cards: Dreamboat and Bubble Time.

And dont' forget to stop on by the party in the Paper Pretties forum tonight starting at 7 pm CST. You won't want to miss it!
