Prettie Wednesday Holiday

Happy Wednesday to you! Today is our regularly scheduled Paper Pretties DT challenge - Prettie Wednesday as we like to call it. :) But, if you recall two weeks ago Jillian gave us a challenge to Take the Week Off! It worked out great because when I stamped yesterday I made my challenge card for this week - did you take Jana's challenge to create something with polka dots?! I'll show you my card next week. Since I don't have a challenge card to show you today I thought I'd share a project I made last week.

My oldest, Emma will be 6 on Sunday (I can hardly believe that!!) Oh, and I have to share, she lost her first tooth on Sunday night - talk about excited!!! She has been so anxious to have a loose tooth. She discovered it's looseness Saturday night and it came out Sunday night so it was a big day for us! It just seems so strange - like she really is growing up!

Anyway, for her birthday we decided to have a ladybug party. I haven't used my Papertrey Ink set Little Lady for a while and with the pretty new pink colors they came out with last month it seemed like the perfect chance. I also used a great tutorial Nicole did for a Slider Card - so easy and perfect for invitations!!

I just love how this turned out, so girly and cute! I used the small ladybug and middle sized flower from the Little Lady set to stamp the whole sheet of cardstock before cutting it using the new Sweet Blush and Berry Sorbet inks and papers from PTI. The center image uses It's a Celebration and Borders & Corners Monogram Edition. The ribbon is also from the new Perfect Match collection.

Here's a picture of the card when you slide it open. I came up with a little poem (I feel like Lexi - only I'm sure hers would be cuter! :) ) and printed that on my computer using the same font from the It's a Celebration set. Emma was very pleased with how these came out. I will definitely be making more of these slider cards - they are so neat!

I have one other PTI card to show you but I think I'll wait as this post is getting rather long. I'll come back a bit later and let you know what this week's Prettie Wednesday challenge is as soon as I know - can't wait to see! Have a great day!
