Ooh La La! NEW Fashionista Digis from Pink Cat Studio!

Hi everyone! I hope that you are all having a wonderful week!

I have a new release from Pink Cat Studio to share with you!

These stylish critters are Melissa's latest and this week's FASHIONISTA Release.

I love their hats and purses.

My sample for this week's release looks like a little purse boutique. I didn't set out to do this. It must be because I have been looking high and low for that perfect purse. I finally found a few that I like from Louis Vuitton but the ones I like run from $650 to $2880. YIKES!!

Maybe for my big birthday next year? ;)

You can purchase the new digis HERE.

Now hop on over to Pink Cat Studio.

You have to check out what the other Design Team members have come up with! The cards and projects are all fabulous!!

If you didn't get here from Wendy Bond's blog then you might want to start at the very beginning of this blog hop HERE.


Frances is hosting this week's 100th challenge, which is to create a tag and to use polka dots anywhere on the tag. It can be polka dot designer paper, embossing the dots, polka dot ribbon, polka dot embellishments... you get the idea. :)


The stamps that the design team are using on this week's cards /projects are: “Penny For Your Thoughts” and “Sassy Shoes”. I used one of the Prettie shoes from "Sassy Shoes" for my polka-dot tag.

So now that you've seen my TAG... it's YOUR turn!
Tag... you're it!


Come play along with us!
How to Enter:
Create a card/project using the challenge above and any Paper Pretties stamp set(s) you have.

Rainy Days and Tuesday

I know it's supposed to be "Rainy Days and Monday" but since it's Tuesday (and I'm certainly not down) I thought I would change the title a bit. LOL! Don't you just love the Carpenters? For those of you who used to listen to the music that used to be on this blog, I am still updating and playing around with my playlist. You can find it HERE or on the blog to your left.

I added Glossy Accents (Inkssentials). It's so shiny!

HULA DIGI STAMPS!

I love Hawaii!

No... I am not from Hawaii.

Nope! I am not related to the Matsumoto Shaved Ice family although that would be SO cool! ;)

But I love all things aloha... including this super cute set!

Here are two samples that I made for the new release:

I had closeups of each card but I managed to misplace my camera tonight.

I'm really worried that I left it behind at a store.

When I find it, I will post those pictures.

 Melissa has posted the awesome samples from the design team!

Hula on over to the Pink Cat Studio blog to see more aloha!

Mahalo!
