PPA Peek and FREE Rhinestones


Can you believe it is Wednesday already? Of course, that means it’s time for a sneak peek at my Pals Paper Arts inspiration card, and a “bite” of Blog Candy. I hope that you enjoy both! Of course, while waiting for the full reveal on Thursday, won’t you please stop by the PPA and check out this week’s Pals Artist Picks?

The Twins are still “recuperating” from their first show, and are staying close to Mom. Muffy has had some trouble with an upset tummy. While at the show, she didn’t eat very much of her food which I sent from home. However, she loved chowing down on the ham, liver and hot dogs that her handler had brought to garner her attention in the ring. And she also coerced others of her admirers for a bite now and then. The result is that she is now on the equivalent of “doggy Pepto-Bismol” and some special canned food. However, she feels well otherwise. While she is not laying at my feet, or answering her emails, she and Brody are both playing.

Well, what do you think about today’s peek? Instead of a penny for your thoughts, how about a package of FREE RHINESTONES? Just leave me a comment on either this post or Thursday’s post by 10:00 PM CST Thursday, and I will randomly select a winner to be announced in Friday’s post. Also on Friday, I have blog award recipients to announce…that is always sooo much fun! And remember, if you ever have any questions about the cards that I create or the techniques that I use, I am only an email away!

  5. Hi Ann,
    I knew I wouldn’t be dissapointed in your card today. I just love it and all those scallops in the beautiful DSP!
    Glad to hear Muffy is better. My “girls’ love those human treats…which I am guilty of giving into them this pass year and letting them have.

    Thanks for your inspiration!

  6. I don’t know how I missed seeing this post but hey, better late then never, right? Poor Muffy! I hope she is feeling better by now. Sounds like she was pretty indulged with treats over the weekend…lucky girl! Lol! At least she feels well enough to answer her fan mail! You make me smile, Ann! Can’t wait to see the big reveal of your card tomorrow…I see some Springtime Vintage DSP. Yay! ๐Ÿ™‚

  7. Hope the twins are on the road to recovery! LOL
    I can tell already from your sample
    that this card is another stunning
    project. I think you have used the

    design another vintage beauty.

    going to be another goodie!! ๐Ÿ™‚

  11. As usual, I cannot wait to see the whole creation. I could use those rhinestones!! I finally finished a whole package of pearls!!

  12. Well, I already love the colors so I can’t wait to see the whoe thing! Hope your little DIVA is soon back to normal. It is hard to be a show stopper all the time. LOL! I get such a kick out of the Tails…or Tales. I read them to my husband and we both have a good laugh!Thanks for sharing!

  13. I can see that you have made another beautiful card. I can hardly wait to see the whole photo of your card.

    I am so sorry that Muffy has a stomach ache I hope it goes away quickly. No fun being sick. ๐Ÿ™

  14. Thanks for s peek of a card I know will be beautiful using theEaster Blossoms set. Looking forward to the reveal.

  15. Oh, I can’t wait to see!!! I have wasted so much of this part of that DSP… it is driving me insane trying to do something with it!!! Hugs and nbcfm!!!! C

  16. Looks like another beautiful card on the way. Thanks for the chance to win!

  17. The sneak peak looks like you usd the Easter Blossoms set. I would love to win the rhinestones.

  18. Well, I sure hope Brody takes every advantage of this opportunity to taunt her etc. I am sure if it was the other way around she would be taunting him! Love the comment from Christy Q about the rice and her dog!

    Love that green on the card – looking forward to tomorrow to check out the full details.

    Hey a penny for our thoughts and get rhinestones – sounds like a great idea to me!

  19. Beautiful peek! Thanks for the inspiration and chance for some great rhinestones! Awesome!

  20. Poor Muffy Lin… hope she feels better soon. Tummy issues are no fun – although Ms. Lexi here loves eating boiled chicken and white rice when she has her tummy issues from overexcitement. So whenever she smells rice cooking or hears us getting the rice cooker out, she drives us nuts because she wants some rice. Glad she hasn’t started “faking it” to scam rice off of us. ๐Ÿ™‚

    Love your sneak peek so I look forward to seeing the reveal tomorrow!

  21. Love that paper. Can’t wait to see it all. I could use a little bling right now, Ann. Hope Muffy is better.

  42. Oh, don’t you just hate it when people give your kids too many treats? and then the kids are the ones who have to suffer the consequences! Jeez.

    Sorry Miss Muffy has an upset tummy, I hope she feels better soon!

  47. Ann your peek is pretty already, can’t wait to see the whole thing. I do think I see the toe of the sillouhette though, and wonder where those rhinestones are going? Just love your style.
    Poor Muffy….hope all it better soon.

  48. I always enjoy reading about the twins, Ann. It makes me smile.

  49. It has my favorite colors, purple and green. I know I will love it!

  50. Of course you already know I can’t stand the wait. Your cards are always so good and I just love them. The DS paper you used is my favorite so I know this card will be in my file for later ideas.

    Poor little Muffy. The “Diva” had a little to much of the rich life I take it. Hope her tummy settle quickly!
