MMSC91 - Birthday Prettie!

Happy Tuesday!  Hope your week is off to a good start!

I've got a special challenge card from Paper Pretties to share with you today!  If you're following along, you already know we are sponsoring the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge for all of February, and there's a new sketch up now you'll want to try out (#91)!  I gave it a whirl, using one of our new Sophia clear acrylic stamp sets from last fall - Surprise Sophia.  What a great smile she has, and I love her frilly little girl dress!  

And here is the sketch for this week's challenge.  You have until Monday, February 21st at 5 pm PST to play along!

I used the new Basic Grey Hopscotch on this card, and colored Sophia with Copic markers.  The border punch is Martha Stewart and the rest of the goodies are from my stash.  It's good to have a stash!

Other challenges entered:
Cupcake Craft 129 - Hearts
Kaboodle Doodles 54 - Hearts and Flowers
Crazy 4 Challenges 74 - Hearts
Delightful Challenge - Punches/Dies
Crafty Pad 108 - Hearts
2 Sisters 26 - Hearts


You also have until the end of the day today to play along with our current Paper Pretties Wednesday Challenge - be inspired by the colors of Valentine's Day (but it doesn't have to be a Valentine).  You link up on the Paper Pretties blog to enter.  


I will see you back here tomorrow with a new PWC!  Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

LPSC78, MMSC63 - Getting Old?

It's MONDAY!! Yay!! I love starting my week with a great challenge from the {Little Paper Shop}! Did you happen to see the LPS store blog on Friday? We are featuring the {Nature's Garden} set with some great samples from the DT and LPS friends. Stop over and see all the lovely creations!

But now, on to today's challenge {your uploading keyword is LPSC78}. We have a soft and pretty color challenge for you today; Pink, Celery and Light Blue! First off, here is my card using {Nurse Jena} and {Young At Heart}.

And here is the inside, where I stamped the sentiment from {Young At Heart}.

I played along with a sketch challenge this week, the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge.  What a wonderful sketch!!  A new challenge to me, but I'll be adding them to my list!  Here's the sketch {MMSC63}:

I used some of my new Basic Grey Olivia paper here, sooooooo pretty!! Paper Pretties is carrying the paper, glazed brads, and the stitched too, they're so much fun! I stamped Jena with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored her with Copic markers. I cut off the edge of my cardstock base, punched the border, and then added the other Olivia paper on the inside panel. Ribbon and button from Stampin' Up, with some Scrapper's Floss (colored with Copics to match!) decorating the inside of the button. Kaisercraft pearls on the main image, Prima mini roses in the corner, and viola!

Be sure to visit the LPS store blog and the other DT members to see all the inspiration with this week's fabulous challenge! AND, if you play along with us you'll be entered to win this week's prize from the {Little Paper Shop}!! Check out the details there this morning - you have until Sunday night to enter by linking up on this week's post on the LPS store blog and the winner will be announced there next Monday morning. Can't beat free stamps AND an excuse to use them!
