Unknown Blessings Peak and Release Day!

It's that time of the year again ladies! It's Prettie Peek time! I can not believe another month has come and gone, but alas it has...now on to the Peeks! Here is all the information for this month's release and peeks:

Welcome to our Prettie Peeks for Paper Pretties December Release! We had so much fun last month using a well known song for our peeks that we thought we'd try it again, and since we love giving things away, we'll have the same rules for prizes as last month - leave a comment on a card from the new releases in the Paper Pretties Gallery and we'll pick names for you to win the new releases. This month, in keeping with Christmas we've chosen a well known Christmas carol - Winter Wonderland!

Each day three or possibly four of the Pretties Girl's will upload their challenge cards based on a new lyric. If you stop by the Pretties Gallery and leave that Prettie Girl a comment on her card, you'll have a chance to win the new set that has been used in that challenge - make sense?

The contest will end December 2nd and the winners will be posted on the Paper Clip. You can find the link to the specific cards in the Paper Pretties Gallery on each blog post. So, lets get started! Jules, Frances, Kristy, and Jackie (you are here!) are sharing with you their lyrical creations for today, so get on over there and make sure you stop by and leave a comment in the gallery for these Pretties for your chance to win!

Don't forget to stop on by the party in the Paper Pretties forum on December 1st at 8pm EST when all the stamps will be released for sale.

For today I am peeking our new stamp set Unknown Blessings! For today's Peak I had the lyrical line "As we dream by the fire", so I decided to use this pretty floral mailbox from this new set. I don't know about you, but when I am experiencing winter I think of the the spring, so this image I thought was perfect for this line! Of course any springy card needs to have bright colors, so I used pink, yellow and green! I really had a lot of fun with this one, I do hope you like this, this mail box set is just so pretty, and I am loving these roses that are growing up the mailbox!

Thank you so much for stopping by, be sure to check out the other's Girl's creations for today, and head back over to my blog on Tuesday, that is my next Peek for you! Hope to see you at the Release Party on the 1st, it is sure to be a blast! Have a great day!

Inky Impressions DT Call!

You know how I love to find new stamp companies, and I just love stamps! Well I have been following Inky Impressions for a bit now, actually since before Nicole launched the site and I have been loving what I've seen! The adorable stamps featuring Angelica, Lili, Nickie, and Rachel are just some of the cutest girls around, and right now Inky Impressions is having a Design Team call! I ordered some of the winter stamp sets from their new release at the beginning of the month (okay so I ordered a bunch of stamps, there were too many to pick from!) and the challenge for the Design Team call was to create an ornament using their stamps! I haven't made an ornament in ages, so this was certainly a challenge, but I had a lot of fun with this! I hope you like what I created! For all the details on the Design Team Call, just check out the Inky Impressions Challenge Blog!For my ornament I used this cute stamp from Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps (Sorry! My Inky Impressions Stamps have not arrived yet, but they are in the mail!). Since this was to be an ornament I went for the winter look, complete with shades of light and darker blues and lost so snowflakes and glitter! I love the shine Stickles give to things, plus this snowflake punch I got from the store about two weeks ago is just perfect for a winter ornament. I had a lot of fun with this, and look at that shine! Too much fun!Be sure to check out all the great ornaments submitted, you are sure to love them like I do! Have a great day and thanks for taking the time to look at my creation for today!

Stamps: Antionette from Krafin' Kimmie; Paper: Whisper White, Spring Rain, Enchanted Evening; Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, B0000 Pale Celestine, B12 Ice Blue, E00 Skin White, E55 Light Caramel, N1 Neutral Grey No. 1; Accessories: Martha Stewart Snowflake Punch, Large Scalloped and Regular Circle Nestabilities, Frosted Lace Stickles, Satin Ribbon, Quickie Glue Pen, Tiny Twinklets

Tag Your a Birdie!

Today marks another weekend so it is time for me to share another Artful INKables creation with you! I made a tag for the current Artful INKables Think INK challenge! For this challenge Crystal Irwin is hosting and she has issued a challenge to create a tag. Head on over to the Artful INKables Blog for all the little details and be sure to play along, it was so much fun to create a tag! It seems like I haven't made a tag in ages! So I pulled out my super cute Birdie set called A Bird's Song, I really think this set is just so pretty and elegant, and I am always worried that I won't do a set justice, this set does that to me. For this tag I used this adorable robin and added a bit of shine to it, unfortunately it is really hard to photograph nicely, but I hope you like this tag, I think its sort of pretty. Have a great day all! Thanks for stopping by! Stamps: A Bird's Song from Artful INKables; Paper: Very Vanilla, Candy Cane DP, Dark Chocolate; Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, E33 Sand, E57 Light Walnut, Y13 Lemon Yellow; Accessories: Red Grosgrain Ribbon, Gold Nail Heads, Smooch Moonlight

Artful INKables Twilight Hop!

Welcome to our Customer and Design Team Twilight Artful INKables blog hop! Make sure you start at the Artful INKables Blog, so you don't miss a single thing! To celebrate the release of NEW MOON today, we're highlighting the Artful INKables Twilight inspired sets: Into the Moonlight and Fictionally Inspired. Artful INKables also has a set of Vampire Romance Themed Charms available! Plus, in additon to our wonderful Blog Hop, Artful INKables is also sponsoring Twilight Tuesday’s Hop that includes some Twilight Prizes, so be sure to check them out today as well!

For my card today I used both the Into the Moonight and the Fictionally Inspired stamp sets from Artful INKables! I decided that I would make a Twilight Gift Set in celebration of the New Moon release! So for my Artful INKables Blog Hop post I created an altered notebook that follows the Twilight Color Combination of Red, White and Black! I wanted to add a bit of shine so I added not only someone wonderful Satin ribbon, but also some great silver nail heads in the corners of my images.Do you love this sentiment?! I think it is just a fabulous one, 'Look after my heart, I've left it with you', it just seemed so fitting for a bit of the plot line in the New Moon movie! Plus, the pad inside is all black and white too, I found it in the dollar bin at Micheal's and thought I just had to get it and possibly use it for today's hop!
It's a little hard to see, but this altered pad has a few layers and pops, I cut out the Werewolf and popped him up from the layers, then the mat for him is also popped up. I really like the way it all came together on this, it's simple, but clean too.

The next stop on the hop is Holly Endress! I can't wait to see what Holly has created to share for this hop, I know it will be wonderful!

Twilight Tuesday New Moon Blog Hop!

Good morning all! Today is the release day for New Moon, the newest film in the Twilight Saga! To celebrate the new release, Twilight Tuesday is hosting a Twilight Inspired Blog Hop! So for today's post I created a card to match the pad I made and posted earlier! For my card I used the typical Twilight color combination of Red, White, and Black, with a bit of shine to add to it all. I used my Artful INKables stamp sets Into the Moonlight and Fictionally Inspired to create this fun Werewolf card! I do hope you like it, together the pad and matching card make a super cute Twilight Gift Set! Oh, what do you think of the sentiment? I think it is so much fun, and let me say that if Jacob is the 'Big Bad Wolf' I am not afraid, are you?!

Now it's time to hop along! The next place on the hop is at Joni's Blog, so get on over there and see what she has to share! Here is the full list in case you get lost along the way!

Color Combination!

Welcome to Wednesday! It's time for another Paper Pretties Weekly Challenge! For today's post I get to share with you the card I made for our next challenge, issued by Heather! Today we are not only sharing all of our creations, but to make the whole day a bit more fun, we are also hopping from blog to blog as well! We are kicking things off at Christie's blog, so if you haven't started there head on over, if you are joining me from Jana's blog then you found the right place!
We are all sharing with you our cards for this color combination challenge - Black, Red and White plus you must use glitter, then you will have until November 24th to try this one out for yourself! For my project today I decided to ink up Sophia Ballerina! I have no idea why I was reaching for this stamp for this week's challenge, although it may have something to do with the two dance shows I have been watching-Dancing with the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance. Both were on last night and I couldn't seem to pull myself away from my TV! I love this cutie and while I haven't gotten the chance to ink this one up recently I am glad I reached for her for today's creation, plus she looks fabulous in glitter! Although, I sort of cheated...I used stickles, which is 'clean' glitter. I can't wait to see what the other ladies decided to create, check out the other Pretties Girl's creations:

For you chance to be entered into the blog candy draw you have until midnight Sunday, November18th to comment!

For my card today I am using the brand new stamp set Creature Comforts! This set is jam packed with cuddly animal images and some fantastic matching sentiments! In fact, I had the hardest time deciding which image to use for today's card, I finally picked these cute little otters, aren't they just adorable! I just thought that for today a Valentine's Day card would be nice, I do know that we aren't there yet, but I didn't want to think of Christmas since I am SO behind, so I took a step forward. I hope you enjoyed what I created.
