Prettie Wednesday and a Sale!!

Well, here I am with my second(technically third) post for today! Two weeks ago our Prettie Mama, Christie, challengedall the Prettie Girls to use acetate on a card. Unfortunately for me, I am a terrible procrastinator, so this card is on it’s way Jillian, but if you come here first, SURPRISE!!(By the way, my watermark and I got into a fight, obviously it won, and is GINORMOUS!! Since I already sent out the card, there really isn't anything I can do, so here it is in all it GINORMOUS glory!!LOL) I decided to make a acetate card(because acetate gives me a mental block and that is all I could think of). This is only the second time that I have made one of these, and I still don’t think I know what I am doing, but hey, I tried!! I stamped Rainy Day Sophia twice, once on Whisper White and once on my DCWV Nana’s Nursery Baby Girl stack. I cut out the dress and paper pieced it and then colored the rest of Sophia with my SU markers and aqua painter. I added some ribbon, tons of brads, some more yummy dp and it was done! This week Charmainehas challenged us to make a book mark(what they don’t know is that I still haven’t made my inspiration card for Jules’ challengefrom last week-shhhh!!). Be sure to blurf around to the other Prettie Girls blogs(in my sidebar) to see what they have come up with for this challenge, and if you played along, leave us a link so we can check our your work!! Also, as if she didn’t already have enough to do, Jules’ posted our first ever product review over on the PP site. Each month she will do a review of different things sold in the Pretties store and for a few days after the review whatever item she reviewed is on SALE!! That’s right, I said SALE(so what are you still doing here???)!! So be sure to pop on over to the Paper Pretties website, get registered if you aren’t already, and check out what Jules has in the spotlight this month. Here’s a hint, I showed it earlier this week in this post!!!

Paper-Pretty in Pink, Apricot Appeal, Certainly Celery, Whisper White and DCWV
