PWC134 - "Ring" in the New Year

...with "Ring" in quotation marks.  Oops, sorry, I was channeling Alex Trebek for a second there, heehee!


Well, 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: PWC134) it's time to "Ring" in the New Year!  We are taking our inspiration this week from "Ring" - it could be an actual ring, bells, circles, silver/gold...whatever you can get to when you think of RING!  This week, I used a set that is already in the Prettie Boutique, heehee, so I can actually share it with you!  What a concept...  :)

Well, you can see my "Ring", I created this wreath out of Snowflakes.  FUN!!  I also used silver, and I have embossed circles on my background panel.   

Now, as a special year-end bonus gift to all of our loyal friends and customers, Paper Pretties is having a saaaaaaaaale...now through the end of the year.  Use discount code:  MERRYCHRISTMAS to save 30% off your entire order at the Paper Pretties store!

Paper Pretties - Dr. Feelgood & TCP139

Hello and happy Monday to all my stampin' friends!  I hope you had an amazing holiday and are doing ok getting back into that regular routine.  That is always tough for me -- more vacation please!

Well, it is Monday again already, so it's tme for Paper Pretties Monday Whatnots...What's Not to Love! ARTish has designed some super cutie patootie images that we are showing off today. You can find them, along with tons of additional digi images, in the Digital Images section in the store. EVERY MONDAY we will be releasing two more new digi images.

My card today uses this ADORABLE Dr. Feelgood image.  Poor kitty is under the weather!!  It sure is the season for it, huh? 

For this week's card I incorporated a sketch challenge.  This is from the Cat's Pajamas - TCP Tuesday #139.  What a great sketch.  As soon as I saw it I know it was "the one" for this image! 

I paired our feline friend up with some Basic Grey Eva paper and colored her to match.  "Out of the Box" on the Nestabilities layer and a scalloped circle border for extra pop.  PTI and ribbon-from-my-stash on the double-layer bow and it's ready to go!  Here's the sketch:

Thanks for stopping by today!  Last thing - don't forget that today is the LAST DAY for the {Little Paper Shop}.  Julia will be closing the store after today, so get what you need NOW.  All orders by e-mail to Julia, first come, first served.  Take an extra 10% off the already 40% off prices.  More info on the store blog.

For this week's challenge (keyword: PWC133) it's BIRTHDAY TIME!  One of the best challenge choices evah, because...you ALWAYS need a birthday card!  Last time I did a vendor fair where I sold cards I sold every single birthday card I had with me.  So let's see 'em!

I used the wrong stamp set, eek!!  It's not out yet.  I'm not sure how I messed that up.  But you'll be seeing it soon, so never fear.  That means that I don't have a picture for you, but the rest of the DT does!  You can check the Paper Pretties blog for lots of inspiration!

A Fun Announcement!

Happy Tuesday stamping friends!  Can you believe that it's almost Chirstmastime already??  Who's ready??  (Not here, eek!).  I hope everyone has a great start to this busy week!

I have a very fun announcement this morning!  Well, fun for me!  New year, new design team?  Sure!  I am super excited to share the news that I am joining the Squigglefly Design Team (January - June 2011).  

For those of you that do not know anything about Squigglefly (other than being an online shop that sells digital images for papercrafting, which is of course the most important thing!), here is some great info for you:

• Did you know that Squigglefly is the only company that doesn't let your download links expire?  This is important because if your computer crashes and you lose your images, you can contact Squigglefly with your e mail address and they can send your download links to you so you can retrieve your images!
• Squigglefly also has an rewards program!!  When you sign up for Squigglefly Rewards, it keeps track of your purchases and for every $15.00 you spend you earn a free image!  You can redeem the free image whenever you want.  Sweeeeeeeet....

Be sure to stop by the Squigglefly website and check out all of those cool images by MANY different talented artists!!  They have something here for EVERY taste! 

And to celebrate, I wanted to share a card that I made using some of my new Squigglefly images!  This one is called "Windy Ride".  Could this little bear BE any cuter?!

Simple recipe for this card - I printed the image on PTI white, colored with Copics, cut out with Nestabilities.  The sentiment is from {Little Paper Shop}.  Art Institute glitter on the clouds - ALL clouds should be glittered, don't you think?
;-)


Thanks for stopping by!  I'm super excited to share some of Squigglefly's huge inventory of images with you over the next six months!  Squigglefly Mondays coming in January...stay tuned!


Lastly, be sure to stop back tomorrow for an all-new Paper Pretties Wednesday Challenge.  See you then!
