Prettie Wednesday Favorite Accessory

Jodi challenged us all to create a card using only our favorite Accessory, and to explain why it's our favorite. For me, that was easy - I LOVE ribbon!!! Ribbon is such an easy way to add a little extra to a card, I rarely make a card without it. My friends are always shocked when I make a card that has no ribbon.

Today is also a Prettie Peek Day! Here's a sneak peek of a set we'll be releasing on Saturday, August 1st at our monthly Stamping In Your Jammies (SIYJ) party - Summer Fun! This new set is SOOO much fun...what til you see the other cards I've created with it!! And it can be used as an add-on to the Make a Splash set with our little swimming Sophia. The little ducky floaty is so much fun, especially with this sentiment. I colored the ducky with my SU! markers (since I don't have any yellow copics yet) and am actually quite proud of the shading I was able to achieve even with my basic markers. I used some of the new Stampin' Up! in colors, and designer paper...and of course the fabulous new polka dot ribbon (LOVE IT!!)

So don't forget on Saturday, August 1st Paper Pretties will be having their monthly Stampin In Your Jammies party!! The party starts at 8pm EST and will last until 10pm. We will be having three challenges, so be sure to come and play along!! Besides the challenges, chatter, and all around fun, we will also be releasing two new sets (the above mentioned and one more,) Aloha Sophia to the public, and introducing our new Stamp Of The Month.
