Soakin' Up the Sun!

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 great punch challenge, use a paper punch (border or regular punch) on your project. (Nestibilities and other die cuts do not count!), then you will have until May 4th to try this one out for yourself! For my project today I decided to ink up Soakin' Up the Sun! I totally love this cutie Sophia, okay, let's be honest here I love all my Sophia stamps and this one is so calm and relaxing that I want to be her today! I mean even her cute little doggie is enjoying the day, what's not to love! For my punch for this challenge I used this fun and pretty scalloped detailed Martha Stewart punch. Did you know I have at least five or six of her punches but I never seem to dig them out so I was thrilled to find out that a punch was required this week, it gave me an excuse to use it! I have also been sitting on this adorable cherry DP with no desire to cut into, but I decided that it was time to the cutter out and use it fainlly, its not so much summer paper, but its super fun and I thought really girlie! You will notice that we are featuring two great stamp sets this week, and not only are Soakin' Up the Sun and Rainy Day Friends being featured, but if you decide to order either of these featured stamp sets this week they are both on sale for 35% off the regular price! So after you get your inspiration for the week, you may just want to hop over to the Paper Pretties Store and see where is takes you!
