PWC120 - Ribbon Mania!

Hi everyone!

Before I get started with this week's Pretties Wed. Challenge, I just wanted to thank everyone who has sent me emails and FB posts and messages about my cat, Mia. She passed away quietly this morning. It was a heartwrenching decision but I wanted to make sure she was not in any discomfort and I had promised myself at the first sign of any pain or suffering, I would let her go. I truly appreciate your prayers and messages. Thank you!

Okie dokie! It's Wednesday and you know what that means!!
Time for another  Pretties Weekly Challenge over at the Paper Pretties blog!
This week, we have a ribbon challenge for you!
You have to use 3 ribbons! Easy peasy!!

Here's my card using Story Time Sophia!


This card was inspired by this week's Cute Card Thursday Challenge 130!
Here's what you need to do for their challenge:

    Ready for some *NEW* Rubber stamps from Pink Cat Studio?!



    Hi there! I've got *NEW* rubber stamps to share from Pink Cat Studio!
    Check them out!


    Our first two sets are Halloween themed and feature Itty Bitty Betty dressed as a witch. She is having lots of fun with her froggy companions but if you look close you may see that some of the frogs aren't exactly having fun, LOL!

    Next we have "Lily Baked a Pie". This stamp is great for many different card themes such as Thank you, Welcome Home, You're Sweet ... and last but not least, we have a pretty butterfly and flower stem stamp that is so fun to colour.These designs are also available as digi stamps. You can find them here.

    Here's my sample of  "Lily Baked a Pie";



    To see what the rest of the fabulous Design Team has put together for this release, please visit us over at Pink Cat Studio!
