For the entire month of August, I have the pleasure of being a Guest Designer at Always Playing with Paper. It is an honor to be designing alongside these talented stampers. I would definitely encourage you to join them in their next challenge on Sunday. To entice you, I am offering you a peek at my card which will be revealed on Sunday.
And speaking of challenges, Pals Paper Arts is near and dear to my heart. I have been a member of this design team since its inception over a year ago. As I hinted at in my last post, the times, they are a-changin’! I am excited to announce that the Pals Paper Arts blog and challenge (or PPA as it is lovingly called) is undergoing a “personality” transformation. We can’t wait to reveal what we have been up to and how you can join the fun starting Thursday, August 19. So to celebrate, how about some blog candy?
Please leave me a comment at the end of this post by Tuesday, August 17th, NOON CST and you could win all of these goodies:
- “Out of the Box” Hostess Set
- Assorted Real Red Corduroy Buttons and Brads
- Bashful Blue 1/4″ Grosgrain Ribbon
- Over 50 sheets of 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper
I will choose a random comment and announce the winner on Tuesday, August 17th. Please note that I only ship within the United States. The winner has 24 hours to email me their name and mailing address so stay tuned!
So…what changes do YOU think will be happening at Pals Paper Arts? Until next time…
Ann, always love to see what you create each challenge and am never disappointed. thanks for sharing your talent with the rest of us.
I love your creations. Just found you tonight. You’ve got really cool blog candy. Does having a birthday on the 17th make me the lucky winner? I hope so!
You are such a tease when you post only a snippet of a card to come! Thanks for sharing your creativity with us all.
Are you missing the pre-school-year-beginning anxiety?
Teacher, here!

Can’t wait to see what the PPA is going to do. I have been following them and You for some time! Thanks for a chance to win some blog candy!
I am always in awe with your artworks. All of your cards are very detail and always adding that extra bling, ribbon, texture, you name it. You are my inspiration and I always smile when I visit. Thank you. I enjoy reading your “Design Tips” every bit of it. Can’t wait to see what the PPA will unveil next week.
Love the blog candy, but I REALLY like the Paper Pals Logo stamp, very chic and elegant, can’t wait to see it all.
Can’t wait to see your card. Whatever the Paper Pals have up their sleeve I’m sure it will be fabulous! Great blog candy. Thanks.

Hi Ann, I can hardly wait to see your card for the “Always plaing with paper” challenge. I’m sure that it is gorgeous. As for what kind of changes PPA has in store I can not even begin to guess but I’m looking forward to it.
If my name is chosen for the blog candy you are offering please pass me. I have lots of SU stamps etc. Too much? Wait is there ever too much? Nah! But seriously withdraw my name form your blog candy give away. Hope your enjoying your weekend.

Hi Ann! Thanks for the chance to win. You always have the best blog candy! I am excited to see the changes to your design team. And even more excited to hear more news on the puppy! Hope you have a great weekend!
Blog candy and a new reveal! What more could I want! Can’t wait to see what’s up with PPA!
I have always loved this group of designers…so it’s difficult for me to anticipate change. But, you are always classy and so, I think I can be comfortable with the surprises you have in store for us. Looking forward to something fun!
I’m curious now to see your whole card…luckily I subscribe. I think you used a set that I am trying to decide whether or not to order, so I’m sure your card will put me over the fence!! Ah…another enabler!

Congrats on another accomplishment. I am still thinking about the little pups you showed us. Not sure what could be added to the Paper Pals – new people, new challenges, actually getting me to participate sometime? Whatever, I am sure it will be fun. I love your blog.

Hallo Ann,
what a great blog candy. Congratulations to be a guest designer at Paper Pals.
I think it is the time for “Christmas crafting”. Your sneek peek seems to be a spot from a christmas card with Santa Claus or might it be an elf?
Have a nice day and btw my address in the States still exsists
