Prettie Pastel Wednesday
I had to seriously resist the urge to say "NOT!" LOL! Today's challenge came from my lovely friend and cruising cabinmate, Charmaine! We were to use pastels - you know those chalky things? Well, first of all when I moved my stamping room from downstairs in the laundry room to upstairs the pastels were like the 1 thing I didn't bring up - why? I never use them! I just never got very good with them. So I am awfully excited to see the fabulous creations that I know the Prettie Girls came up with today - hoping they can give me some tips!! ;) Be sure to visit their blogs!! Charmaine Ikach, Jana Weaver, Jillian Winters, Danielle Lounds, Jodi Collins, Jackie Rakoski, Jackie Pedro, Jessica Diedrich, Christi Thorsen, Frances Byrne.
Ok, I decided to use Bunny Hop Sophia which is the Stamp of the Month Club stamp for February, which means if you are a member or sign up before January 31st you will receive this stamp in February roughly a month before she is released to the general public. Sorry for the poor lighting in the photo, the colors seem to be a bit off.
I used Julee's Mojo Monday sketch for this week - it's been soooooooo long since I've done a Mojo sketch - they are always fab and they have their own blog now!! :)
Signing off . . . busy day ahead! But don't forget to visit the other girls and remember, tomorrow starts the big 2nd Anniversary Celebration at Paper Pretties!

ReplyDeleteI love this card. I have a question for you... do you get to see the stamps before you receive them when you are in the stamp of the month club? Also, is it just one stamp and does the fee include shipping?
