PWC113, CQC44, and MORE!

Happy Wednesday! Are you ready for the Prettie Wednesday Challenge?! Remember, Paper Pretties has returned to the BLOG FORMAT for store news, information, etc....aaaaaand the PWC!  Having the blog back means that we've got a linking system (InLinkz, love it!) and PRIZES!!!  Woooooot!!  Check out the Paper Pretties Blog for all the details and your chance to win!

Before I get to all the post info, please welcome the newest Prettie Girls!!  Jessica George, Pam Varnell, and Wendy Hoff.  Their links are in m

Ok, this week we have another fabulous sketch challenge from Prettie Girl Frances!  Sketches are my favorite and Frances makes great ones!  Here's my contribution, featuring Bugs and Fishes:

Isn't he a cute lil' bug??  I haven't pulled him out in awhile so I thought I'd give him some ink time.  :) 

Here's the sketch:

I stamped him with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on PTI white and colored with Copic markers. 
I added some red stitching around the back panels, and some Black Glitter Dots in the extra space for some sparkle and bling.  Paper Pretties has 18 colors of Glitter Dots in stock now!  These are awesome for projects, so fast and easy, they are flat-backed and go on with a Mini Glue Dots, another of my favorite products. 

In store news - our GRAND RE-OPENING and NEW RELEASE IS COMING!!!  Stay tuned next week on the Prettie Girls' blogs, previews start on Monday!!

Oh, and in the meantime, did I mention that right now, every in-stock stamp set at Paper Pretties is ON SALE??? Yes they are!! Discounts range from 10 to 75% off, with most of the Sophia and Cooper sets clocking in at just $5. That is a HUGE DEAL!!

I actually went a little bit challenge crazy on this card.  I usually do a sketch and maybe throw in a color challenge, or an inspiration piece or something, but today I have a whole LIST!!  It's a first for me, but as I was checking out all of last week's glitter card challenge participants, I found SO MANY new challenge blogs, I just had to try them all out!  I got lucky and lots of people wanted bugs this week - it's that time of year!  :)  Thanks to all my new challenge blogs for all the fun - I will be back!!  Here is the list:
