I'll be there with bells on!!!

NEW RELEASE DAY

at Paper Pretties

My time (6 months) with Paper Pretties has just about come to an end.  I have really enjoyed working with the design team and ARTish at Paper Pretties.  Loving all the images over the past months made the time go by toooo fast.  You will see more Paper Pretty images, but I'll be in the challenges just like you...lol  This particular image, Emalina Elf, has to be one of my all time favorites over these past 6 months.  The adorable smile on the character is contagious! Remember, each image comes with several sentiments. (I hope you can see the tiny bells on the elf's feet....they really jingle!)

Head over to Paper Pretties and take part in the fun challenge...red, white and color of your choice.

NEW RELEASE DAY

at Paper Pretties

I chose to make a tree ornament and/or tag from one of today's new releases at Paper Pretties. My DIL loves moose images.  It will be a great little tag for her Christmas present. Part of the challenge for Paper Pretties is to use ribbon.  I added holly, red jewel beads and glitter, along with pop-ups for dimension and, of course, my beloved copics...lol

Join in on the fun challenge and check out other design team members projects HERE.

CHALLENGE...Make it SHINE!!!

Paper Pretties has TWO awesome releases today...Oh So Tropical and Tea Time (each come with 2 sentiments). I chose Oh So Tropical, but I will definitely be doing Tea Time very soon. I LOVE LOVE what ARTish creates with these critters.  I'm a big fan of sentiments on a card so Paper Pretties has heard our requests.  Yippee! The fun lemon svg is FREE by SVGCuts.   Mary and Leo are the brains and talent behind this super company that produces fantastic svgs. I placed micro yellow/gold beads on inside of lemon for texture and shine.  Cool huh! Check out the other DT creations HERE.
