Prettie Girl Birthday - Jessica!

Welcome to the WEEKEND!!!  This week was the first week of school, and for being only a 4 day week, it was UNBELIEVABLY LONG!  I am so glad for some down time!

I can think of someone else who's probably pretty glad for today!  One of our very own Prettie Girls, Jessica George, has a birthday today!  We are honoring her in true Paper Pretties fashion with a birthday blog hop and lots of love and wishes for an amazing day.  Jess, I hope it's a fabulous day filled with family, friends, and STAMPING.  :)  Here's the card I made for Jessica, featuring the Paper Pretties stamp set Imagine.

I hope you join us on our hop today to see all the beautiful birthday creations.  Carry through to the end and wish Jess a very happy birthday!  If you're arriving from Jane's blog, you're in the right spot.  Your next stop is Pam!

Don't forget, there is still lots of time to play along with our Prettie Wednesday Challenge this week, for a chance to win FREE Paper Pretties stamps!  Just make a project that includes BRADS ~or~ EYELETS and link up on the Paper Pretties Blog InLinkz to enter!  Good luck!

PWC118 - Get Your Brads On!

Happy Wednesday! Are you ready for the Prettie Wednesday Challenge?! I bet you are!  If you play along with us you could WIN!   Check out the Paper Pretties Blog for all the details!

This our challenge (keyword: PWC118) is EASY PEASY!!  All you have to do to participate is to use brads or eyelets on your project!!  I love it!  And of course, link up on the Paper Pretties Blog to enter.  Here is my contribution using Dog-Gone Birthday.  I love this set!!  It's the first time I've inked it up, I was so busy with all the fantastic new Sophia and Cooper stamps, but Paper Pretties' newest illustrator, Victoria Case, does Cute Critters to PERFECTION.  I am going to be using this little guy a LOT.

I used a sketch today, this is the current one from PaperCraft Planet (sk090410).  It was just perfect with my little dog image for today.  Thanks for all the inspiration girls! 

Once again, I did an amazing thing, and used OTHER THAN Copic Markers for coloring!  How crazy!  :)  This is Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol, just like yesterday's card.  I also mentioned yesterday that Heather has some Prismacolor Pencils on sale in the Clearance Section of the Prettie Boutique for dirt cheap.  Check it out!

Patterned paper is Basic Grey - Max and Whiskers.  Fitting, right?  Cardstock is from PTI.

Thanks for stopping by today!  We have changed the PWC format so it's no longer a blog hop, head over to the Paper Pretties Blog for a full list of the day's eye candy and all the challenge (and PRIZE) details!  You link up THERE for your chance to win!

Prettie Pam's Birthday!

Hello and happy Tuesday!  I hope everyone had a great Labor Day Weekend.  You may remember that on Saturday, Prettie Girl Pam Varnell had a birthday!!  Of course, we celebrated, Paper Pretties style, with a blog hop.  Since I didn't write it down in my stamp calendar...I didn't have a card.  But I got a few minutes last night to make one, so Happy Belated Birthday Pam!!  You are a stampin' rockstar, and I am very jealous of your Copic Marker collection.  :)  Here's my card, featuring Just Because Zac.

Can you believe -- I colored with something other than Copic Markers today?!  I used Prismacolor Pencils and Gamsol for today's project.  Heather actually has some Prismacolor pencils in the Prettie Boutique (Clearance Section) for $0.50 each if you need to pick up any more for your collection!!  That's a heck of a deal!  I paired Zac with this great Memory Box Beach 6x6 paper, I am just about out of it I've used so much!!  Great colors and patterns, a really versatile paper pack if you're looking for some color.  

I also used our current Prettie Wednesday Challenge (PWC117) - it's a sketch!  You still have some time to enter, get your card done by the end of the day and link up on the Paper Pretties Blog, and you could win FREE STAMPS!!

That's it for me today, I hope you have a great start to your week, I'll see you back here tomorrow for a new Prettie Wednesday Challenge!

I'm a bad Prettie!

I am so sorry blog hoppers! I forgot to write down Pam's birthday hop in my stamping calendar! Pam I feel terrible. I was thinking about it the the day, but without it written down. Well, I'm a bad Prettie. I will see if I get any stamping time later today to honor this amazing lady!!
