A Few of My Favorite Things...Paper Pretties Preview

This is my 2nd blog post of the day. To see my Little Paper Shop Monday challenge please scroll down to the previous post.

Welcome to our Prettie Peeks for the Paper Pretties November Release! This month we thought we'd have some fun and give you a chance to win the new releases. Since our Pretties are some our favorite things, our peeks will be based on the lyrics to the song "A Few Of My Favorite Things". Each day two or three of the Prettie Girls will upload their challenge cards based on a line from the song. If you stop by the Pretties Gallery and leave that Prettie Girl a comment on what your 'FAVORITE THING' about her card is, you'll have a chance to win the new set that has been used in that challenge - make sense? The contest will end November 2nd and the winners will be posted on the Paper Clip. You can find the link to the specific cards in the Paper Pretties gallery on each blog post.

Today's Prettie previewers are:
Christie: Raindrops on Roses
Danielle: Wiskers on Kittens
Me: Bright Copper Kettles

My Preview set today is actually a sneak peak of the December Paper Pretties Stamp of the Month....Bubble Time Sophia! Isn't she absolutely adorable! I know I say that about every single Sophia stamp but seriously...look at her. I adore this stamp. I had so much fun coloring her and glittering up those bubbles. Such a fun set! To fit in with my "Bright Copper Kettles" theme I painted up the feet and edge of the tub with some Spiced Cider Shimmerz Blingz. It gives it a really pretty copper look. Be sure to head over to the Paper Pretties gallery and leave a comment on my card telling me your favorite thing about it! (you can click on the photo to see the copper in more detail)
Supplies used: Bubble Time Sophia from Paper Pretties, SU CS, DCWV glittered CS, Copic markers, Spiced Cider Shimmerz Blingz, self adhesive glitter pearls, EK Success bubble border punch, foam dimensionals.

Be sure to check out the Prettie Girls' blogs all week for more previews!

Oh...Don't forget to stop on by the party in the Paper Pretties forum on November 1st at 8pm EST when all the stamps will be released for sale. You won't want to miss it!

Hope you all have a terrific day! Thanks for stopping by!

A weekend post...

I know I haven't been posting much on the weekends lately but today I wanted to share a little chipboard album that I made recently and remind everyone of the Paper Pretties design team call.

First off...Design Team Call!
Paper Pretties is having a design team call! There are only a couple more days left ...the call ends on Tuesday Oct 27th.

Here are all of the details:
The requirements are 6 cards or projects per month for a 6 month term. If you'd like to submit your work for consideration please email good quality pictures of 3 cards or projects that you consider your best work using Paper Pretties stamps to christie@paperpretties.net. Please include your name, SCS username if you have one, and your blog address. The DT call is open until the 27th of October. Because of the number of submissions, we will not be able to email everyone back. If you are chosen you will receive an email from us by October 31st. Thank you in advance for all of the hard work that goes into submitting for DT calls!

2nd...I wanted to share my Paper Pretties chipboard album that I made a couple weeks ago.
As usual I have to gush about how much I love my Paper Pretties stamps...Falling For You Sophia...ADORABLE!!! Have I mentioned that I LOVE all of the Sophia stamps from Paper Pretties, LOL! This stamp reminds me of my childhood. We used to rake huge piles of leaves and play in them every fall. Our current neighborhood is relatively new and we don't have many mature trees but we still rake up as many leaves as we can for our kids to jump in. That actually might even be our plans for today! If the weather cooperates it will be a great photo opportunity. I'm a mom who is constantly pulling photos of my kids out of my purse to show people, so I thought I would make a little album to put the fall pictures of my kids in. The album pages are a Sizzix die that I used on DCWV chipboard. I used some fun ribbon and fibers to tie my pages together. I'm not usually a person who alters anything but I was really happy with how this turned out.
Thanks for stopping by today. This week is the Paper Pretties November release preview week and the design team has a ton of fabulous projects to share all week. Check back tomorrow for preview day #1. I'll also have the Little Paper Shop Monday Challenge for you tomorrow. Hope you are all having a great weekend!

Jacksonbelle Tuesday Challenge

Well, today is my very last blog post.....as a 34 year old, LOL. I honestly can't figure out where time went. I can't really be turning 35, can I? Dang! 35 always seemed to be the line that divided young and old in my mind. Now that I'm there I think I might have to move the line (although Tom says I've been old for a long time already) LOL. I guess getting older is just a fact of life but I'm just not sure I'm ready...I still haven't figured out what I want to be when I grow up. For the time being I guess I'll just keep playing with my paper, glue, scissors and such and pretend that I'm never going to grow up.

So it's Tuesday...that means a new Jacksonbelle challenge. We have a fabulous sketch for you this week. We'd love for you to play along with us. If you do, be sure to leave us a link to your project on the challenge post on the JB blog and/or use keyword JBE076 when you upload to SCS or PCP.
Here is the sketch:
For my card I used the awesome Eerie designer paper from Basic Grey. This is some of the best Halloween designer paper I've seen. Basic Grey makes creepy appear beautiful, LOL. I also used a fun Martha Stewart bat punch. And speaking of MS...all Martha Stewart punches are on sale 30% off at Jacksonbelle right now! All Inkadinkado stamps and stamp sets are 40% off too. It's a great time to do some shopping!

Jacksonbelle Tuesday Challenge!

It's that time again! Time for the Jacksonbelle Tuesday Challenge. This week the challenge is to use vellum on your project. We'd love for you to play along. If you do, be sure to leave us a link to your project on the challenge post on the JB blog and/or use keyword JBE075 when you upload to SCS or PCP.

First off, I have to tell you...I don't use vellum. I think this might actually be the very first ever card with vellum posted on my blog. I'm actually surprised that I even had any to use. After struggling for hours (literally - over 5 hours) I was finally able to come up with a card that I don't like but am not embarassed to post on my blog. I started off by trying to stamp on vellum and color an image and then I tried it again and finally after spending 4 hours and throwing my card in the garbage, I decided to just emboss the vellum with a Cuttlebug folder. Much easier. Like I said, I still am not thrilled with this card but I know when to say when.

I used tons of awesome Jacksonbelle goodies on my card....Basic Grey DP and Basic Grey bling flower centers, Shimmerz paint, MM trim, Swiss Dots Cuttlebug folder and Martha Stewart leaf punch.

Oh and speaking of Shimmerz...ALL Shimmerz and Stickles are on sale at Jacksonbelle. It is a great time to stock up for all of your upcoming holiday projects!

Little Paper Shop Monday Challenge!

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend! I managed to get a little rest and a lot of cleaning done around the house, so overall I'm pretty happy with the weekend! I also managed to get 3 cards done too, woohoo! One of those cards was for today...yikes! I usually try to have my design team projects done at least 2-3 weeks ahead of deadline but lately I've been a bit behind. It is seriously not like me to be working on a card 2 days before I need to have it done. Behind or not, I still got it done and I'm excited to share it with you.
It is Monday so that means it is time for another fun Little Paper Shop challenge. This week our challenge is a sketch courtesy of the talented Allison Fillo. We would love for you to play along with us. A random participant in this week's challenge will win the new Christmas set {Merry & Bright}. If you play along be sure to leave a link to your project on the challenge post on the LPS blog!
Here is the sketch:

For my card I used one of my favorite LPS stamp sets {Beautiful Things}. This set has a bunch of fun 2-step flowers as well as a bunch of GORGEOUS sentiments!

It is time for some blog candy!

Hope everyone is having a great week. Beckett is recovering well from his tooth infection and I have actually managed to get a little bit of sleep this week, YAY!!!
Today I wanted to share another Halloween card I made with the new {Jena Witch} stamp set from Little Paper Shop. I just adore this little cutie. She is so fun to color. And for some reason I just can't help but add some glitter to her.


It has been a while since I gave away some blog candy so I put together a fun little package of goodies for one lucky blog reader. I will leave my blog candy open until Monday Oct 12th at 7 am CST. There are a few ways to get your name entered into the drawing:
#1. Just leave me a comment telling with favorite color combo - there is entry #1.
#2. If you are a follower of my blog, leave me a comment on this post telling me so and there is entry #2.
#3. Join the Little Paper Shop Forum and add me as a friend - there is entry #3
#4. Make a card with one of the FREE digi stamps found on the LPS forum and leave me a link to your card - this is entry #4

So there you go, there are 4 ways to get your name added to the drawing. Now, I suppose you want to see the blog candy. The blog candy consists of 2 super fun stamp sets from Little Paper Shop as well as 3 Studio G sets and some Making Memories Crystal brads. If I get more than 25 different people entered I will add some additional goodies!

Good Luck!

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

SCACD WCMD challenge

I hope you all had a great weekend. Did you get lots of stamping done on WCMD? Unfortunately we spent most of WCMD dealing with doctors and dentists. Beckett woke up Saturday morning with half of his face completely swollen. Unfortunately a couple weeks ago when he hit his chin at the hotel, he not only cut his chin open but he cracked a tooth. Ever since the accident his tooth can been bothering him but we just thought his jaw was sore from the fall. Unfortunately for 2 weeks the cracked tooth just got infected. Saturday afternoon after a trip to the urgent care and then to the emergency dentist he had to go through a very traumatic tooth extraction.
Here is a picture of him and his poor swollen face:
Thankfully the antibiotics and pain killers have helped out a lot. He seems to be doing a lot better today. He still looks awful but the swelling should start going down soon.
So with all of that craziness yesterday, my WCMD stamping had to be postponed until today.
I got a little bit of time to stamp this afternoon so I decided to play along with the challenge posted over on the SCACD blog. They had a fun 2 part challenge...sketch & color. The color requirement was to use Christmas colors: red, green, gold, silver, white.
Here is their sketch:
I flipped the sketch to work with my image. I used this adorable Victoria Case image "Matthew" from SCACD. Isn't he so cute...totally reminds me of Beckett. (Sorry for the wonky lighting - I just finished my card at 7pm and the natural light is zero. I'll try and take a better photo in the morning)
Check out the resemblance between the card and the picture of Beckett...the fact that he is wearing a red shirt with a green dino is a total coincidence.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope you all had a great weekend!

Welcome to Paper Pretties' festivities for World Card Making Day! Not sure if you all noticed my side bar but as of Thursday I am officially a Prettie Girl! I was so excited when Christie asked me to join the Pretties team! I adore all of the Paper Pretties images and can't wait to start sharing more projects with you.
To celebrate World Card Making Day, Paper Pretties is hosting 3 fabulous challenges throughout the day: 1 in the morning, 1 in the afternoon and 1 in the evening. Be sure to check the Paper Clip for all of today's challenges. You can pick 1 to do (or all 3 if you like :D ). On October 5th at 11:00 pm Christie will draw a winner from all of the entries in the Paper Pretties Challenge Gallery in the Paper Pretties Forum (please use keyword WCMD when you upload your card) to receive the newly released set Season of Joy. That means you'll have all weekend to work on your challenge card. You can use any products you like, but the main image must be one from Paper Pretties. The winner will be posted on the Paper Clip on the 6th!

Also, don't forget that ALL day today you can get 15% off your entire Paper Pretties order - even clearance merchandise! Just enter the coupon code wcmd (case sensitive, no spaces) when you check out! With the whole store on sale, it is a great time to stock up on all of those Sophia and Cooper stamps I know you've be wanting!

CHALLENGE #1
The first challenge was given by our incredibly talented design team member Jana. Jana's challenge is to make a project using the following colors: Light Pink, Medium Pink, Taupe, Black and White.

I just got Make A Wish Sophia in the mail a few days ago and I couldn't wait to get her inked up. Isn't she just adorable.
If you are wondering where my taupe is...I colored the table with a taupe-ish color Copic, LOL.

For more color inspiration check out the blogs of my fellow Prettie Girls Jana Weaver and Christi Thorsen

Be sure to check the Paper Clip throughout the day for challenges #2 and #3.
