Paper Pretties Wednesday Challenge!

Happy Wednesday!  This week's Paper Pretties challenge is to use RING IN THE NEW YEAR as the inspiration for your project.  We'd love for you to play along.  If you do, be sure to leave a link to your project on the Paper Pretties blog!

My card fits this challenge two ways..."RING"...I used circles...and "NEW YEAR"...as in "What the Cluck?"...where did the time go, LMBO!
I LOVE our CLUCK sets (I used CLUCK PART II)!  I think they are all totally fun!  How can you go wrong with the sentiment "What the Cluck?"!!!

I want to thank each and every one of your for coming to my blog, leaving me comments and supporting me these past few years.  My 4 year blogiversary is coming up in a few days.  I started my blog on Jan 3rd, 2008.  Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would still be doing this 4 years later.  It has been an incredible experience.  That being said...this is going to be my last blog post for a while.  Life has just gotten too busy for me to keep up with posting each week.  As my dedicated followers have noticed, in the first few years I posted almost daily.  Within the past year, I'm down to once a week and even then I miss a few.  I'm not deleting my blog by all means so you may see a post from me now and then but it definitely won't be on a regular basis.  Thank you so much for all of the love and support you have all shown me!  I wish you all a safe and happy 2012! 

Love,
Heather

Paper Pretties Wednesday Challenge!

Happy Wednesday!  This week's Paper Pretties challenge is to use LET IT SNOW as the inspiration for your project.  We'd love for you to play along.  If you do, be sure to leave a link to your project on the Paper Pretties blog!

I actually made this card months ago for our single layer challenge, but at the time I couldn't find the photo so I didn't post.  Come to find out I had used a different camera than I usually use for my photos and I found the picture months later....which is ok, since it works perfect for this week's challenge.  I used the sets {SNOWFLAKES} and {FROSTY}, a piece of scored, white cardstock and some rhinestones...super easy!

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Paper Pretties Wednesday Challenge!

Happy Wednesday!  This week's Paper Pretties challenge is a color challenge:  WHITE + ONE COLOR.  We'd love for you to play along.  If you do, be sure to leave a link to your project on the Paper Pretties blog!

I went very clean and simple with this week's card.  I love black and white and everything seemed to come together nicely with this one.  I used the Paper Pretties set {FUN QUOTES}.  This is one of my favorite sets to use for a fast, fun, pick-me-up card!  Sorry the photo isn't great.  I took my photo tent down months ago and I've been relying on good natural light (which I haven't been getting much of).  Those are actually black Kaisercraft rhinestones along the right edge (hard to tell what they are in the photo).

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you are all having a super fabulous week!

Paper Pretties Wednesday Challenge!

Happy Wednesday!  It is the first Wednesday of the month, which means a new fabulous sketch from Frances.  We'd love for you to play along.  If you do, be sure to leave a link to your project on the Paper Pretties blog!

Here is this month's sketch:

I used a set that I haven't inked up in ages for this week's cards, {AHOY MATEY}.  I love this set, but haven't had the need to make baby cards in a while (sadly I'm getting old enough that most of my friends aren't having babies anymore). I struggled with this at first, but I love how it turned out.  The sponging wasn't supposed to end up as dark as it did, but in the end, it worked for me. 

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you all have a spectacular week!

Paper Pretties Wednesday Challenge!

Happy Wednesday!  This week's Paper Pretties challenge is to make a Thank You card.  We'd love for you to play along.  If you do, be sure to leave a link to your project on the Paper Pretties blog!

I made this card several months ago for my daughter's teacher.  {THANK YOU TEACHER SOPHIA} works great for teacher appreciation!  Definitely more clean and simple than I usually make, but I like how it turned out.

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you are all having a great day!

Paper Pretties Wednesday Challenge!

Happy Wednesday!  This week's Paper Pretties challenge is to make a Christmas card using non-traditional Christmas colors.  We'd love for you to play along.  If you do, be sure to leave a link to your project on the Paper Pretties blog!

Not very often do I make a card that I absolutely love...today is one of those rare days.  Everything about this card just fell together perfectly for me.  I don't usually go the non-traditional route but I really love the pinks and blues in this card!  I am actually not a fan of snowmen in general (They usually creep me out - I think it all comes from an episode of Scooby Doo where the snowmen come alive, LOL) but {FROSTY} is one snowman image that I think is totally adorable (nothing freaking me out about this guy, LOL).

I hope you are all having a fantastic week!  Thanks for stopping by today!

I've had these fun pins that I picked up at the Target dollar spot forever ago...knowing that someday I would use them.  That day has finally come....I layered the pin over a Prima flower and some green glittery leaves that I picked up at Michael's after Christmas last year.  They made a great pairing with the DCWV green stack....and of course our fabulous {GIVE A HOOT} set!
