Black and Blue Prettie?

That doesn't sound so good does it, 'call the authorities'!!!  LOL  Seriously, today's challenge at the Paper Clip was to make a card just using blues with black and white.   Now I am very sorry as I am late on the Wednesday challenge blog hop but this DT thing well, I need to get organized.  I know we had the challenge but I was totally unaware that it was a hop!!! So if you got to me and found nothing, well there was a reason....I didn't post one!  I am so sorry to my Pretties team.  I will get my act together I promise!!!

So the hop was to be from Heather's blog to mine then off to Kristy's blog.  So if you didn't get to enjoy it, please start at the beginning with Christie and see all the Pretties.  Don't forget to upload your card to the Paper Pretties challenge gallery and you could win a $15 Gift Certificate at the Pretties Boutique.

Copic Challenge!

Paper Pretties was a sponser this week over at the Copic Colour Challenge blog and the challenge was to create something with this colour combo.  If you played along, there was also a prize up for grabs, this great set Look Who's Perky from Paper Pretties.   So make something great and link up your creation to win.

I didn't have any of them so I just did alot of blending to match up with those colours best I could.  I think it turned out just great!  Have a great Remembrance Day as most of you may have work off today but not me!  But it will be a quiet one and I hope to catch up on 'that pile' I keep ignoring!   See ya later with more challenges I will be posting!  Ciao!

 

A New Prettie Birthday Hop!

Today is new Prettie Girl Jennifer's birthday and we are having a little hop to celebrate her day!  I used the new Bubble Time stamp which will be released January 1st. Isn't she the cutest and she actually looks like she is saying 'hey, leave me alone, it is my birthday!".  I paper pieced most of it and added some glitter to the soap, sorry you can't see it!  Next stop on this birthday train is Kristy!

Here is the list of the Prettie's if, if you get lost, who are joining me in wishing her a great day but make sure you start at Christie's blog.

Birthday for a Prettie!

Ok, so I need to tell a quick story first before I continue with my post. 

First, I became the newest member of the Paper Pretties DT and have been very excited and couldn't wait to share the news with you!  Christie came to me (ok I begged) a few weeks ok and I said yes!  So today is my first post with my fellow Pretties and we are celebrating another new DT member Heather's birthday today with a little blog hop.  So I was all ready last night to post my card and so excited for my first Pretties post and found that my Photoshop program was 'gone','missing', MIA!!!!  Of course I panic and yell at my family as obviously they did it, not me!  I just used it a few days ago so it had to be there but no, my DH looked and gone.  (I had done a clean up scan the night before on my computer so maybe it wiped it, who knows) but the reason I am telling you this is that because of all that kaos (and me being away all last week and behind on my cards)  I didn't notice that the challenge also was to do the Wednesday sketch, kind of missed that part!  I could of easily switched my panels too to match the sketch but they are glued down GOOD!  Those puppies aren't moving!  Sorry my fellow Pretties, nice way to start my Design Team job hey!!!!  LOL

So back to the hop!  You came here from Francis's blog to see my first Prettie card and I know, it looks nothing like the sketch!!!  LOL  I am such a loser!  If you'd like to play along,  be sure to upload your card to the Paper Pretties Challenge gallery and use the keyword PWC76!  Then check the Paper Clip on Tuesday to see if you won!!

So make sure you go back to Heather and send her some birthday love on her blog.

Pretties Rock!

Morning! 

I love the gals at Paper Pretties, they are so fun and so talented! I was able to meet Christie not long ago and she was so down to earth and we hit it off.  I love that about people as I feel I am the same but with really hot shoes!  LOL  

So when I saw they had done another challenge over at the Paper Clip I dived right in.   

I used the all so lovely Simply Special stamp! I freakin' love this watering can, I so couldn't wait to get my hands on it!  Paper piecing is my fave thing to do and this can is perfect for it.  I did the plant too and the leaves...yeah, maybe a bit overboard hey, but I don't have a marker to match Kiwi Kiss so I had to do it!  I have to practice my sewing a bit more, and not on a finished card!  I start off great, then get going to fast and it always ends up crooked! I still love doing it though!

Off to work I go, have a great day!

Blog Candy Winner!

Happy Sunday to you all!  

I hope everyone has rested up from their festivites from either Canada Day, July 4th or Stampede here in Calgary! 

I had my husband pick the winning number and he picked 18!!  Kate B..come on down!!  You are the lucky winner. 

"Loving your card ( the canadian girl is my fave!!!) I had to work the 1st (boo hiss) but I get today off instead! I loved sleeping in, surfing some blogs and just hanging out!!! Some crafty time is on my agenda today also! Thanks for the great chance to win and I hope you had a great Canada Day!!

Kate, send me your mailing address and I will get your stuff out to you tomorrow!

Thanks for all the great comments!

Happy Canada Day!

We get a day off today up here in Canada and it is going to be a wicked day!  I thought I would show you a card I made for Christie over at Paper Pretties as she has been such a great new friend and I love all her stamps!  So I thought why not combine the card for us Canucks and Yanks for the July holidays!   You can't not love these two girls!  Seriously, I was smiling the whole time I made this card! 

And to celebrate today and the 4th of July, I thought I would give away some blog candy that Christie was so generous to give to me along with a few other things I had in my stash! 

Please send me a comment about what you love most when you get a day off and I will pick the winner on July 4th! 

Have a great Canada Day! Wear red for me ok! 

Ciao!
