PPA Sneak Peek


How about a little sneak peek of this week's Pals Paper Arts card? Shhhh! Mum's the word! I found it a challenge this week because it is not something that I would ordinarily create. But that is the purpose of a challenge...to force one to pursue a style or to use colors outside of his or her comfort zone. The entire card will be revealed Thursday at 5:00 AM CST. I used a stamp set which I earned through Sale-a-bration and 1-1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon. Believe it or not...I have used this size ribbon only once before. I don't know why. I see other people use it, and I think to myself, "Wow! I really need to use this ribbon." Does that ever happen to any of you?

Don't forget that my Blog Candy celebration is coming to a close. At 10:00 PM CST on Thursday, February 18th, I will use a random number generator to select a winner from all of the comments left during this time span. The more you comment, the greater your chances of winning! The winner will be announced on The Stampin' Schach on Saturday, February 20th. I can't believe the outpouring of support that you have given me as we "Celebrate" together. And for those of you who have sent cards to me, I will be featuring them on The Stampin' Schach within the next few weeks.



So, I will leave you today with this little snippet of a card...a taste of what will be revealed Thursday! As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me. Until next time...
