PPA Peak and a Bite of Blog Candy


Here’s a rather large peek at my Pals Paper Arts challenge card. I enjoyed creating it, and I hope that you will enjoy its reveal on Thursday. In the meantime, please take a peek at the Pals Artists Picks from the “Scallops” challenge. Can you believe all of the fabulous cards that were created?

Of course, your comments are important to me, and I do read and appreciate each and every one of them. And to show my appreciation, I want to continue with a little tradition I have started with my Wednesday sneak peeks…a bite of Blog Candy. This week, it is not ribbon or paper or buttons or brads. This week it is one of my all-time favorite embellishments. In fact I love these embellishments so much, I use them on almost every card. In fact, I usually use a lot of them on every card. I know that the suspense is killing you, right? NOT! Everyone already knows it’s a packet of Stampin’ Up!’s Basic Pearls! All you need to do is leave a comment on today’s sneak peek. The winner will be randomly selected and posted in Thursday’s reveal!
