A Challenge Card & a SALE!!!

Our DT for Paper Pretties does weekly challenges. We do this just for fun - once we finish our challenge we mail it to another team member according to a schedule. This way we are assured to get some happy mail - mail that's not a bill!! Once we receive our challenge we post it in a photo album on the Paper Pretties Yahoo Group. We've just gotten the "go ahead" to also post these on our blogs so you all can see what we're doing and, if you like, participate!

Today I'm going to show you a challenge that we completed a few weeks ago. This is what we received in the mail from Kristine. Our challenge was to make a card using the monkey image, sentiment stamp (which, incidently, you can purchase in the Paper Pretties Corner Store!), ribbon and DP. This was a lot of fun - and seeing what everyone else came up with was even more fun!

Here's my card, I was pretty happy with how it came out! Look for more challenges to come - I don't know about you but I love them because they get me thinking and creating but give me a "head start" on some the design aspects.

Ok, big news!! Did you know that this weekend is Thanksgiving in Canada??!! Well, since Paper Pretties is a Canadian company, on Saturday October 6th through Monday October 8th you can purchase one regular priced item for 25% off. For member's that means 35% off! How great is that!!! If there's something you've been waiting to get - now's your chance!! 25% off! Happy Shopping and Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope you all have plans for World Card Making Day!! I'll be stamping the day away tomorrow with some of my friends and customers at Raven Hill Orchard on 255 Ossipee Hill Road in East Waterboro. If you don't have plans why not bring the family for a day at the apple orchard??? You can pick apples (certified organic apples!), buy a pumpkin, have a latte, and make a card!! I will have a display set up upstairs (where we will be stamping) for anyone who wants to make a card! How fun! Come see us but if you can't - have a great weekend!!
