A New Release and Challenge at Paper Pretties!

Hi, everyone!

It's Monday, so it's time for a New Release of Digi Stamps at Paper Pretties, and their new challenge for this week! Be sure to enter for your chance to win some Paper Pretties Digis!

The Paper Pretties Challenge Theme this week is :

Make a Graduation Card!

I wanted to use this great alligator image, and he was a toughie to make into a grad card, so I made sure my sentiment would portray his purpose!

Here's my card for the challenge:

This is the new All at the Grill image by ARTish, and it is such a darling!

I had a great time coloring him in PSE, and I tried to pick some picnic-like bg paper for him. :0)

I have to apologize for my recent abundance of CAS cards - as you are reading this, I am busy UN-packing my craft room in our new place! It's been a whirlwind month, with many hours of packing and very little crafty mojo flowing. In addition, most of my crafting goodies and tools were packed up well before the move (the first and second week of May we were in super-packing mode!). So, I am hoping to have my things unpacked and organized asap, and then I can get back to trying to be more creative and less simple. :0)

This is just one of the new releases today! 

You can hop on over to the Paper Pretties Store to pick up this, and the other new release, and then head on over to the challenge blog to enter your card! 

You don't have to use one of the new images on your card, but it does have to follow the theme to qualify for the prize: You could win three Paper Pretties Digis of your choice!

Make sure to check out the rest of the wonderful design team members of Paper Pretties, and

don't forget to stop by the store to pick up one of the new releases! The DT blog links are located in myleft sidebar for you!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Ciao for now!! :0)

As Promised......the BBQ Card SVG File

Hi, everyone! Two weeks ago I had shared a card I made for my neighbor. I had to do a few things to the file before I could share the BBQ Card with you, but now it is done! :0)
Here is the picture of the card, again

I have changed the pieces that I consider the hinge of the grill lid - it is now a larger area so you can use a small brad or loosely crimped eyelet and make the lid moveable (on my card, I had to glue the lid in place to not move it, so the paper beneath the brad didn't tear).

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy!

Sneaking a post....

Hehehehe! I know I said I was taking a break, but I had to make a "thank you" card for my neighbor today, so I thought I would share.
I made this file. I will post the free svg file next week, as there are a few changes I need to make to it, first.
It is a post card type of card.......it does not open, but once I fix the file, the lid of the grill will open and close if you use a brad for the "hinge". I was going to create a tag out of the grill lid and a pocket, but time ran away from me. I also forgot to take the pic before I wrote my message, so I used PSE to blur that out and then plopped my watermark on top of that space - hahaha! Not my day, I guess (I have grass stuck in my eye, too....see? Really not my day!)
What do you think of this? Should I revamp it to be a pull tag for the grill cover??

Thanks for stopping by! Come back next week for the file! :0)
