InStyle's April Sketch & A Preview

Good Thursday morning friends!  Today I wanted to share another Patty card with you from InStyle Stamps, using our new release rubber stamp sets for April.  The new set is called Patty's Appreciation and it will be available TOMORROW!!!

Such a pretty bouquet, don't you think?!  I paired it up with this awesome Basic Grey paper, along with our sketch for April, keyword ISSSC04.  Here's the sketch for those who'd like to play along -- you link up HERE on the ISS blog for your chance to win ISS goodies!

Thanks for stopping by today!  Visit the ISS store blog for more Patty inspiration this morning.  Tomorrow you can shop!  Have a good one, we'll be back here tomorrow for another 365 cards challenge.  

PWC148 - Sketchy Snowflakes

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!

For this week's challenge (keyword: PWC148) it's another amazing sketch from our own Prettie Girl, Frances!  You know I love a good sketch.  To play along, just make a card using our awesome sketch, then link up on the Paper Pretties Blog to enter.  Here is my contribution using this sweet snowflake sentiment.  I know it's SUPPOSED to be spring, but it doesn't feel it here so I used some of my new-this-year-but-untouched Kaisercraft patterned paper, along with this sentiment.  (I flipped the sketch). 

I was having trouble downloading the sketch to add to this post, so I will add it in the morning.  In the meantime, check out the Paper Pretties blog for full details of this week's challenge.  You link up THERE for your chance to win!

Preview InStyle - Patty's Appreciation

Good morning friends -- welcome to Tuesday!  I hope that your day is off to a good start.  :)  It's our first April preview day at InStyle Stamps, so without further ado, here's Patty's Appreciation!

I really *heart* her!  Love this bunch of thank you balloons, and if you've been following me for the last few months you know that Miss Patty and I are good friends, I'm having lots of fun with her and her new rubber sets from InStyle Stamps!  She pairs up SOOOO well with this new Basic Grey paper and the matching brads, don't you think?  Love it when a plan comes together!


The preview fun continues tomorrow, and I will also have a new Prettie Wednesday Challenge for you!  See you then!

365 Cards - APRIL FOOLS'!

TGIF!!  Gotta love the end of the week, right??  Friday is good, and April is good too -- it's finally here!  Of course you wouldn't know it from the temps outside here in Wisconsin, but we remain hopeful that spring will show up soon.

So, happy April Fools' Day from the 365 Cards challenge!  Today, Day 32, Pam was looking for a joke or a very silly sentiment.  How fitting!!

Ooh, ooh, and also, we have a fabulous sponsor this week, Digi Doodle Shop!  I used an image from the Fun With Shoes 1 collection for my card today.  The sentiment is computer-generated, although I admit I stole it from MFT.  I *really* enjoy the sentiments in that set, I really do need it....

Honestly, you can't go wrong with glittery pomegranate-colored shoes, can you?!?  Love this new Basic Grey paper too, of course.  I thought this would be a great "girlfriend" card.  Thanks for the ideas Pam!  I hope you're inspired to play along with us too, you can link up on the 365 Cards blog so we can all check out your creations.  Happy stamping!
