Final Days of the {Little Paper Shop}

I wanted to post a message and an update from Julia about the {Little Paper Shop}.  She is going to be closing the store on Monday, so act fast to get those stamp sets you've had your eye on before it's too late!!  Also note that there is still time to play along in our final challenge, LPSC99, make a square card.  Link up on the store blog for a chance to win 3 free digis.

From Julia:

As some of you may have heard we are closing the doors at the Little Paper Shop on December 27th. Everything in the store is 40%. We are sold out of some sets and have limited stock in others. Because of this we are only accepting orders by e-mail. When you place your order we will take another 10% off your entire purchase calculate shipping (Flat rate $2 to Canada, $2.95 for US orders and $10 for international)and send you a PayPal invoice. Once the invoice is paid your order will be shipped. Visit us at www.littlepapershop.com and e-mail me with your order at sales@littlepapershop.com

Happy Holidays,

Julia

We would love for you to ink up your Paper Pretties stamps and play along with us! This week we were challenged to make a project that includes eyelets. To be honest, I wasn't even sure I HAD any eyelets, but when I went hunting, I found a whole big stash. Who knew...

Here is my creation - spot the eyelet?

I also incorporated a sketch with this week's challenge, you know how much I loves me some sketches!! This is Mercy's Tuesday Sketch #52 {MTSC52} that was just revealed yesterday. Love those Mercy sketches! Here's it is for reference:

It is for 25% everything in the store with the coupon code "newsite" - no spaces, case sensitive. The sale will run from RIGHT NOW until Saturday, December 19th @ 11:59 PM.

MTTSC10 - Thoughts of Spring

Tuesday today! Time to see what Miss Madelynn has in store for us for Twinkling Tuesday...

There it is! MTTSC10 - can you believe it's been ten weeks already??! Wow, time flies! This was a great sketch, clean and simple, and Madelynn said we could add a front image panel if we were so inclined, which I was. :)


My colors are Certainly Celery, Apricot Appeal, Old Olive and Soft Sky. I took this gorgeous new image from Prickley Pear Rubber Stamps {Paris Spring half sheet} and colored right on the rubber with my Stampin' Up! markers in order to ink it up. I did this because I wanted the tree parts to be Celery, the birds to be Apricot, and then when I was done I went back and added touches of Olive to the tree to give it a little more distinction. When I was satisfied with the coloring, I "huffed" onto the stamp to remoisten the ink and then stamped right on the white cardstock. I made a horizontal line for the ground and did the sky with my cloud template. The grass was made by sponging with Celery and Olive ink.

Woo hoo! Not nearly as complicated as I made it as I was creating, I have to say. *g* If you'd like to play along, we'd love to see your work! Be sure to link up your creation on the TT blog, and add the keyword "MTTSC10" when you upload to SCS or PCP so we can find your creations. Be sure to visit the rest of the Twinklettes {links on my left sidebar} for more fun with this sketch.

CBC53, PPS Wednesday and a Sale!

Happy Wednesday out there! I have a fun card to share with you today that meets two challenges - yay!! The first is from Pink Papery Studios - Wednesday is our design team challenge day and this week we had a SKETCH CHALLENGE!! My favorite!! There it is, above. Fun! I combined it with my other Wednesday goodie, Chrissy's Belli Challenge, which was HEARTS this week {CBC53} in honor of Valentine's Day! I paired my hearts with this cutie Devil's Food Cake stamp from Pink Papery Studios.

Thanks for stopping by today! We are still enjoying Florida, although it is COLD today {cold for Florida is kind of a joke for us Northerners, but since we came here for the SUN I will say "It is cold today!"}. Be sure to visit the rest of the Pink Papery Studios design team, and the rest of the Belli Challenge team for lots of eye candy and inspiration. {Both link lists are on my left sidebar}. The Belli team also has Jessica Smith as a guest designer this week, so say hi to her!
