Expresstions of me!

Hello Sweeties! I hope you're having a great day and getting some stampy time in too!! I'm here to share the new Paper Sweeties Sketch Inspiration #5 challenge with you:

Created with Paper Sweeties stamps So sweet of you and Little Wishes

I love banners ... how about you? I added different layers of shapes for my banner that I handcut with a few paper buttons stamped with PTI Ink. The paper is the new Crate Paper (Maggie Holmes) paper. It's so Vintage Eclectic and I love that :-)

I stitched around the card and added some gold trim at the bottom and a cute bow from Crate Paper at the bottom.

Please pop on over to the Paper Sweeties blog to check out the beautiful creations from the rest of the Sweeties DT! We hope you'll have time this month to play along with the April sketch challenge for your chance to win a $20 gift certificate to the Paper Sweeties shoppe!

And ... my last bit of news to announce today -- instead of our regularly scheduled March *new* stamps being released on the 15th of the month, we bumped up the release schedule so that the *new* stamps are LIVE in the shop TODAY! Hopefully, releasing the Easter theme stamps early will make it more convenient for you to order your favorite *new* Sweeties stamps and create pretty projects for the upcoming Easter holiday ... spring events ... and more!

To help celebrate the March 1st *new* stamp release, we are offering FREE SHIPPING from March 1st through March 5th on your Paper Sweeties orders ... use FREE SHIPPING coupon code at checkout to redeem your discount!

Enjoy peeking and happyFriday!!!
Hugs, Char!
