Ellephantastic Challenge #7 - Shabby Chic

Hello everyone!

Welcome to another Ellephantastic Challenge!

I am so excited to be the challenge hostess this week!

The challenge this week is to create a project that is SHABBY CHIC.

In case you are unfamiliar with the term "shabby", think vintage/antique painted white / pastels with distressed edges ~ often tea-stained.

This week we are being sponsored by the lovely Suzette over at Crafty Sentiments!

Suzette has kindly given this adorable new digi as a prize for this week!

Thank you, Suzette!!

Here's my sample for this week's challenge:

To see the fabby samples from Suzette, Helen, and the rest of the Elle DT, and to link your project for a chance to win Pat Sitting By The Water, please hop on over to the Ellephantastic Challenge Blog!

Looking forward to seeing your shabby creations!

BACK TO SCHOOL at Pink Cat Studio!

We're celebrating "Back to School" at PCS today! Melissa has created some really cute digi stamps that you can use to make some fun cards for your kiddies and their teachers. These digis are great for creating bookmarks and tags too!

Today, August 12th, when you purchase anything from the digital or rubber stamp stores you will receive the "Back to School Blackboard" digital stamp for free! It will be emailed to you separately and within 12 hours after you make your purchase.

Here's my sample for this release!

I used "Back to School Betty" and "Back to School Birds" on the front...

and "Back to School Lily" on the inside of the card.

Hop on over to the Pink Cat Studio blog to see all of the fabulous samples created by the PCS DT!

A Prettie Garden Fairy

Hey Prettie peeps!

It's time for another Prettie Wednesday Challenge!

For PWC114, we're using ribbon on our projects.

You have probably heard by now that Paper Pretties is having 12 new sets being released tomorrow. 5 of them are from our uber talented and veteran illustrator,Joni Stringfield. 7 of them will be from our brand new Paper Pretties illustrator, Victoria Case.

Today, I'm using one of Victoria's images called "Garden Fairy Katie".

I want to know what you think of her! The layout is inspired by this week's Mojo Monday 151.

I mounted the fairy on the ribbon with dimensionals so that the ribbon can be lifted up to reveal a little surprise underneath to brighten up someone's day.

Can you see how she shimmers because of the Atyou Spica glitter pens that I used?

She really sparkles... not sure if you can really see it in the photograph.

Play along with us!

How to Enter: If you would like to play along with us, all you have to do is create a card/project using the above challenge and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword PWC114.

Don’t forget to include link to your card on the Paper Pretties Blog!

You don’t have to use Paper Pretties stamps to play, but of course if you have them we would love to see you use them. One random participant will receive a Paper Pretties Stamps set.

Prettie Preview!

Hello Prettie peeps!

I am super excited to let you know that Victoria Case has joined the Paper Pretties team as our newest illustrator! She is so talented and you are gonna love her work!

All of the NEW Paper Pretties sets from here on out are going to be Clear Photopolymer sets.
