A Peek and a Prize


Here's a small peek at the Pals Paper Arts card which I will be revealing in it's entirety on Thursday. There's texture, pearls, lace, watercoloring...all of those things I love in a card! I hope that you will like it. In the meantime, be sure to check out this week's PPA Picks of the Week.


Last week I offered Basic Rhinestones as a little token for commenting. Since I did not get an address from last week's winner, I will be offering them to one lucky person who leaves a comment on today's PPA Peek. At 11:00 PM CST, I will randomly select a number using the random number generator from Random.org. I will post the winner's name on Thursday. The winner will have until Noon CST Saturday to email me with an address. How easy is that? Basic Rhinestones will be winging their way to the winner's home in time to decorate Valentines!

And speaking of Valentines, don't forget to take advantage of the special Filled with Love Promotion.

Stampin' Up! Filled with Love Bundle

Through January 24, 2011, get a FREE package of Bitty Buttons--a $4.95 value--when you purchase the Filled with Love Bundle. Also included is the Filled with Love Stamp Set (your choice of clear or wood) and the exclusive Love Patterns Designer Series Paper!

Oh, the anticipation!! Looks like a lot of fun detail. I meant to "vote" on yesterday's card selection; while I like Valentine in Blue, Hugs and Kisses receives my vote. As always, thanks for the wonderful eye candy. Hope Muffy is recovering from the wrestling match without any problems. Have a wonderful day, Ann.
