and

A Big Happy Birthday to Artish

Artish is one of our illustrators for Paper Pretties.  Thank you Artish for wonderful images to work with and a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you.  We get to have a little bithday blog hop on a day that one of the DT member's celebrates their birthday. And, we also get to introduce 2 new release digi images at Paper Pretties today.  I chose Pretty Presents.  Challenge - use black, white, gold and bling.  I always have difficulty with the photography when using gold foil and glitter.   Trust me, there's a lot of it on my card.

Grab a piece of birthday cake and join the challenge.  Fellow friends at Bugaboo Stamps are joining us this week for the inspiration on our challenge.  You should have come from Taylor Usry's blog.  After me, head to Jackie Rakoski's blog.

NEW RELEASE DAY

at Paper Pretties

OMG....I really wanted to make cards with both images, but time would not allot me due to a deadline.  I chose Smell My Feet image from Paper Pretties. It's so much fun seeing all the delightful, happy children in their adorable costumes on Halloween night.  Head to Paper Pretties and see fun Halloween cards that were brewed just for you!

I also used "Spook You Socks Off" sentiment from the Halloween sentiment set from Punkin' Patch Stamps....they are freakin' adorable! And, I use my own feet svg.

We are still celebrating Heather's birthday so enjoy the continued hop and now hop to Jackie Rakoski site.

We don't know where we're going, but we are on our way!

These are different sentiments I can use.  I made 2 more cards almost identical so I will use all the sentiments.  This is a special posting for Paper Pretties to celebrate "Heather's" birthday.  And, with a birthday, we get to do a little hop.  Hopefully, you came from Taylor Usry blog and after my card, you get to hop on over to Jackie Rakoski. 

Happy Birthday Heather!!!

NEW RELEASE MONDAY

at Paper Pretties

What a great way to start a Monday....with two darling images from Paper Pretties. And, both come with at least 2 sentiments.  I chose Andrew Scarecrow.  I also used the corn stalks from Harvest Hills Farm Set sold by SVGCuts.  I use this set throughout the year....it's a "must-have". I also turned Halloween Rickety Fence jpeg, from Bugaboo Stamps, into an svg to offer a little more dimension in the card.

Head over to the Paper Pretties maze and see some amazing creations by the team!

NEW RELEASE DAY

at Paper Pretties

Challenge: Buttons

I wish alligators were this charming and I was a good bowler.  I thought the alligator image would be right up my alley!  Alley Gator looks like he's having a really good time. I made the background paper simply by turning my bowling pin svg into a .jpeg, then just duplicating a lot of them and throwing them all over the paper.  You do whatca gotta do in a pinch!  Added diamond glaze on eyes and bowling bowl.

Remember: TWO releases now at Paper Pretties. Both come with at least 2 sentiments each....crazy good! Images: Alley Gator and Elbram

NEW RELEASE DAY

at Paper Pretties

"TWO POSTINGS TODAY"

Today's two "new releases" at Paper Pretties are Pablo and Diamondz...both of them come with two sentiments.  Again, I went off the grid and made my own sentiment.  Art was one of my college majors. No, I never had a masterpiece, but did win some prizes, ribbons and money.  Oh yeah....love the money!

Paper Pretties challenge is to use "primary colors".  Not sure where I got birdcage svg, but I totally altered it to meet my needs and made into a shaped birdcage card, but feel I should not offer on my post.  It you want it, please email me (not leave a comment on post) and I will send to you.  Click on "view complete profile" and link to my Email is under picture.)

I did a short video to show you all the openings and cool places where you can leave a comment.
