Paper Pretties Has a "Fun, Easy" Challenge Today

Please scroll down to see my post today for ALL THAT SCRAPS. Thank you!!

Hello friends and happy Wednesday. It's time for our weekly challenge at Paper Pretties and today our challenge is to use "Buttons or Brads" on your project. For my card I used a stamp that I got last Christmas that I just love. I made a Christmas card using Gliding By Sophia. She is so sweet and reminds me of my nieces. Let me know what you think about this sweet girl.

Here is a close up so that you can see her fluffy scarf and earmuff, and the snowflake. There is actually 2 punched snowflakes there. The one on top is from clear acetate and they are both adhered together using a Pearl Brad (for the challenge).

We hope you can play along with us this week. Leave a link to your project on the Paper Pretties blog. One random participant this week will win a Paper Pretties stamp set.  You DO NOT need to use Paper Pretties stamps in order to play along, but if you do, you will get a bonus entry into the drawing! Please be sure to mention our challenge and link back to the Paper Pretties blog in your project posting. If you upload to a public gallery please use the keyword PWC118.

Thanks for joining me today and I'll see you back here tomorrow.

Hugs,

All That Scraps - CORNER BOOKMARK

Hello friends and happy Wednesday. It’s time for our weekly challenge at the All That Scraps Wednesday Challenge Blog. Today our challenge is to make a Corner Bookmark. You can find directions on SCS here. I have to say that this is one of the easier tutorials I have done. It was a lot of fun and when you look at the bookmark you will know exactly who I made it for .... ME. I used my favorite colors, purple and green. This will be a bookmark for one of my favorite series of books right now, The Twilight Saga. I'm getting ready to read Breaking Dawn for the 4th time now. LOL.

For my project I used a stamp that was just released this week at the ATS store. This image is by the awesomely talented and my sweet friend Amy Young and it is from the C.C. Designs Sweet November line. This is Twisted Sister Larkspur.

Isn't she just adorable? I  rotated the pic sideways so you could see the image better. The designer paper flap should be on top.

Be sure to head over to the ATS Wednesdays Challenge Blog to play along with us!  Every week there is a new and exciting prize being offered…but in order to be eligible to win, your card must include a stamp that is sold in the All That Scraps store. Whether it is one of our wonderful in-house designs or from the various other stamp companies that ATS carries, the choice is yours. Then be sure to link up your creation with Mr Linky by next Tuesday at 10:00pm EST with only one entry per person please!

Thanks for stopping by again today. Goodbye my friends.
