Big News and a Treat!
Ok, have I kept you in suspense long enough?? The big news is out . . . and you can view it here. I am thrilled, excited and - did I say thrilled - to say I am now a member of the first ever Design Team at Paper Pretties! The very talented and super sweet Christie Ortman, owner of Paper Pretties, has put together a fabulous Design Team including Jillian Winters (aka Jillabella), Kristine Reynolds and ME!! We are all looking forward to this amazing opportunity!
Now, to help celebrate I thought it was time for some treats! How about a $20 gift certificate to use in the Paper Pretties' store? Who wouldn't love to go shopping? :) So to be entered just leave me a comment, I'd like a name for my blog candy - something catchy to go with my blog. I'll randomly draw a winner on Monday, August 13 so spread the word and enter now!
I'll leave you with a card I created a few weeks ago when I was the Guest Designer for July at Paper Pretties. I made this card with the supplies in my July box and a few of the suggested add-ons. The July stamp set was Hit the Beach from My Favorite Things. The sentiment is from Little Lady by Papertrey Ink.
Have a great day everyone, thanks for checking in!! :)
WOW, that is AWESOME Julie! So happy for you! Can't wait to see your amazing creations! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! That's fantastic news! And I love the card - is that sandpaper??
ReplyDeleteAs for a blog candy name - how about "Julies Jewels" ??
Lots of huggs!
-Jana
A HUGE congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! For your candy, maybe just Jewel Treats or Candied Jewels ... K, that's dumb, it's early. :) lol
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Such an accomplishment!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, have been to the site and would love a gift certificate to offset what I have already put on my wish list. Someone alreay beat me to Julie's Jewels, so will go with Julie's Jam.
ReplyDeleteCongrats- how about Blog Gems or Julie's Jems (or you could spell it correctly and it would be Julie's Gems)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I love Paper pretties. Everyone has all the great ideas for blog candy, I like Julie's Jems...
ReplyDeleteCongrats, Julie!! That is awesome!! I'll be sure to visit that site often and at the rate I am going I'll be sure to order.
ReplyDeleteYou have a great blog! Now you need a great name.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking and thinking about your blog name and came up with one I would like for my own. Except I do not have a blog or have the time, or desire to have one.
The name I came up with drum roll please...taa-daa...
"The artistic Impression"
Perfect, because stamping is impressing ink onto paper and stamping alone is art. Thats the name I would use *if* I had a blog.
OK I read it wrong, I thought you were looking to change your blog name. OK if I had a blog I would call my blog candy....Big Hugs & Kisses...then each time I did the my "Big Hugs & Kisses" I would send along with the prizes a one chocolate hersheys kiss in the box to. Like a trade mark of yours.
ReplyDeleteI like Jules Jem. That's smart.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
How about Julie's Potpourri?
Congrats!!
ReplyDeletecongratulations!!
ReplyDeletei love the card...tooo cute! :)
Congratulations! I also like Julie's Jewels.
ReplyDeleteClaudia

Big congrats to you!
ReplyDeleteHow about Precious Bloggin' Jewels for your blog candy name?
Congratulations! I saw the announcement!!! How about Precious Treats? Not very creative, but it's cute right?
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go with Blog Jewels for the "candy" name, but then again, I had to do a contest like this to come up with my own!!! LOL (I do like the name, though!)
ReplyDeleteAnd a big congrats on the DT! I saw it first on Christie's blog! You deserve it!
Hugs!
Kirsten
Congrats to you. So exciting. I love your card, the sand looks real is it? I am so uncreative with names it was hard enough naming my kids. How about Julie's Blog Bon Bons
ReplyDeleteJulie, congrats on being a design team member! I had never checked out their store until just now. There is a lot of great stuff there, and I haven't seen other niches for a card of the month kit. Your card is so cute! Thanks for the chance of a shopping spree.
ReplyDeleteJulie's Jewels seems to be the obvious one to me.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
Nancy S

Congratulations!! They are lucky to have you on their team! I read the comments and my choice for a name is taken already but I do like Julie's Jems the best.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I visit your blog daily for inspiration and love your work. I think you should call your blog candy Bling! It goes perfectly with your blog name.
ReplyDeleteWOW, congrats, Julie! You so deserve this with your creaivity! As for a name for your blog candy......Julie's bounty! I do like julie's jems however..it's catchy. I love the chance to win a gift card, thank you so much!!!
ReplyDeletehi cute blog!! congrats on your DT!!! awesome!! since this giveaway is related to paper pretties, i thought of pretties bitties... but just for your blog...what about precious bitties???
ReplyDeleteCongrats on this exciting news!!! I agree that Julie's Jewels is a cute name for blog candy. Or how about Julie's Jam & Jelly?
ReplyDeleteTHat sandpaper is so cool! I really want to try that -- I will have to raid my husband's tool box while he is at work! LOL! I can't think of anything to snappy off hand for a blog candy name --- Sweet Treats??? Anyway --- a big congrats on being on the DT!! I can't wait to see more awesome creations!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS!!!
ReplyDeleteI have 2 friends named Julie and both have "Jules" as nicknames. How about "The Family Jules" for a blog name? Congratulations on being on the Paper Pretties team -- and thanks for letting me play along. I can be reached at ceadmile00@msn.com.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I'm not good and picking names for stuff...let me think...ok...I got nothin'...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I like Jules Jems.
ReplyDeleteHi Julie,
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! I'm waiting for my first MFT box to arrive!
Now for the name, I finally think of one and find that several people beat me to the punch. Of course I thought of Julie's Jewels.
If I come up with anything else I'll let ya' know...
Heather L.
I'm going to use the part of your tag line, Precious Jewels and call it Pearlies for Paper or Julie's "Jems"!
ReplyDeleteawesome news julie! i was betting it was dt news--your cards are always so cute! for the candy name, i like julie's jewels or sweet treats. big congrats! :) lexi
ReplyDeleteHow about Stamping with Candy? Keeping it similar to your title.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your great news!
Suzy
How about Candy Carats...since your subtitle is precious stamping jewels...Great site!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your design team position! How exciting. I love the sand, it that cork, or sand paper?
ReplyDeleteOnly things I can come up with are:
ReplyDeletePrecious Bloggin' Jewels
Julie's Blog Jewels
or
Blog Treasure
Congrats Julie!! Of course, like everyone else, I immediately thought Julie's Jewels.
ReplyDelete~Melissa
Congrats on the design team! As for blog candy I think you should go with "A Jewelicious treat".
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That is so cool! I love this card!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a thrill for you - Congratulations, Julie! There are some great name selections already for your blog candy, and I'm rooting for either Jewels or Jems since both go so well with the name Julie.
ReplyDeleteYou are so deserving of this. Can't wait to see what you do with those stamps!
ReplyDeleteIts hard to get my mind off of the one I really REALLY like when I saw it. It was Alli Mile's idea:
"**JULZ (Julie and Jewels??!!)"
Isn't that a gem?
a gem...get it? I'm normally not that funny in the morning, but then again, maybe its not that funny. I'll know later in the day. ;)
Again congratulations!!!!
Congrattulaations !!! That si Big News ... looking foward to seeing more great cards & projects!

My first thought for your candy name is Candy Jewels, which I saw was already submitted. Just goes to show...great minds think alike :)

ReplyDeleteHow about Precious Jewels, or Julie's Jewels?
Congrats on your exciting news! I've come a with a few names for your blog candy. Do you like Julie's Jelly Beans; Julie's Jumping Beans; Julie's Jelly Belly's?
ReplyDeleteHi Julie!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your news!
And thank you for offering the treat!
My first thought for your candy name is Candy Jewels, which I saw was already submitted. But that's still the one I like best.
Congratulations on being chosen for the design team.
ReplyDeleteHow about "Julies Jems & Jewels & Stampin' Tools"
And I want to add I LOVE your little kitty Angel. I'm a BIG cat lover. If I didn't live within the city limits I'd have TONS of cats!!! LOL
Julie, that is wonderful! Congratulations!!!! Hugs, silly grin and happy dance!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!! That is awesome news!!!! Can't wait to see more of your designs. :)
ReplyDeleteWell, being late to comment, the name i sat down to post is already here....several times ;) But, i really think Jules Jewels or Julies Gems would be great with your blog title/name.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on design team member position! You deserve it-very talented lady.
Terri
Congrats! You're going to do such a great job on this design team. I really liked someone else's idea of Julie's Gems, but if you'd like another idea: blog bling?
ReplyDeleteHi Julie!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your news!
And thank you for offering the treat!
My first thought for your candy name is Candy Jewels, which I saw was already submitted. But that's still the one I like best.
BTW...I loved your "have the right shoes" card...too cute!
WOW! Huge congrats Julie! You are so deserving. Wonderful cards.
ReplyDeleteI immediately thought Julies Jewels too! Saw that was guessed as I came to comment.
So I guess that or Bloggin Baubles, just to be different-Bauble is another tern for jewel I believe.
It's late which explains why my brain is in neutral. The only thing that I can think of to rhyme with Jule is drool. So Julie's droolies it is. Congrats on your great new!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations and cheers! You deserve it...good for you!
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI like Julie's Jems.
