Paper Pretties Sneak Peek Day 1

Hello my friends and happy Sunday. Today starts the first day of our previews for Paper Pretties. Release day is Thursday so I will have lots to show you until then. I will have a sneak peek every day through Thursday.

We're finally ready for the Grand Re-Opening EVENT we've been promising!  It's happening this Thursday, August 12th with a huge BLOG HOP full of gorgeous creations ... and FREE STAMPS.  Woohoo!!!Check the Paper Pretties Blog and the rest of the Prettie Girls' blogs this week for previews and more details, and be back here on THURSDAY to hop with us, and win with us! The big RELEASE DAY BLOG HOP PARTY TRAIN kicks off at 5:00 AM EST on the Paper Pretties Blog.  Stamps will be available for purchase at 7:00 AM EST that day in the Prettie Boutique.

We have 12 sets that will be released this month so there is something for everyone. Each set comes with several sentiments so you will be able to use them for several occasions. The set I am showing you today is called CHEERLEADER. This girl is just a cutie pie. I used Taylored Expressions Sketch Challenge TESC123 for my card. I paired the image with some Basic Grey Euphoria paper and used a NEW MFT-dinamics die for the border. Here is my card along with Taylor’s sketch.

Here are a few reminders about Paper Pretties. The store is under NEW ownership and they are based in the US so shipping will be faster and more reliable.

Check back in with me tomorrow for another darling image I have to show you.

Saturday Sketch with CA&F With a Little Change

Hello friends and happy Saturday. It's time for our weekly sketch challenge with Club Anya & Friends but before we get to today's sketch I'm sure you are wanting to know what the "little change" is I mentioned in the title, huh? In the past we have only had a prize on the first Saturday of the month. One person would win one of the single images that the DT had just previewed during release week. We are going to change that up a bit. Starting today, there will be a WEEKLY prize for our Saturday sketches. Woohoo!! Each week one random participant will win a digi of their choice for participating in the sketch challenge. Isn't TGF just the bomb?

For my card today I used the NEW Cupcake Anya digi designed by my sweet friend Rachel Schneider. I just love this adorable image. I colored her up with my 2 fav card colors, purple and green, and used some new patterned paper I got by K&Company's Jubilee pack. Here is my card along with today's sketch.

OK, get out those TGF stamps and let's see what you can do with today's sketch. Link your card to the Galleria here using the category "Sketch 30" by next Friday at 10:00pm EST and you could be the winner of a digi of your choice. For official rules for our sketch challenges please check out this post.

Thanks for stopping by today. I'll see you back here on Monday with a couple more challenge cards.
