Spotlight on Shopping...Prettie Style!

Hi everyone!!! Happy Tuesday!!!


Welcome to one of our new features on The Paper Clip - Spotlight on Shopping! Every week we'll highlight some of the products in the Pretties Boutique for you. Most of these items are included in the 75% off sale that is going on now. The Pretties' stamps are excluded from that sale but if we highlight one of them here, it will be on sale for 10% off until our next Spotlight on Shopping!

As some of you may know, I am a "Matchy Matchy" kinda gal. I like my paper to match my ribbon to match my brads...well, you get the idea :)

Shopping in the Paper Pretties Store is SOOOO much fun! The selection is so wonderful, that it is easy peasy to find products that perfectly coordinate for your projects!!!

I wanted to show you some of my favorite items for sale in the Paper Pretties store...you can just imagine the possiblities!!!

I LOVE this paper from Crate Paper, called Sidesaddle from the Cowgirl Collection (can you just picture this with the Howdy Girlfriend stamp...HELLO!! coordination!!!).

We even have the cardstock to match! Check out the Bazzill Cinnamon 81/2 x 11 cardstock or Bazzill 12x12 Red Rock cardstock.

How PERFECT is this Chocolate Organdy Ribbon??? Matchy Matchy all the way!!!

Add in some of these yummy Antique Brass brads from Doodlebug Design, and oh! The joy...the rapture!!!

And, let's say you want to get a little...shall we say...sassy? Why not switch it up to a more frou frou look? Switch out the paper for some of this delicious Homemade Needlepoint Paper from We R Memory Keepers and you can get a totally different look...but still be perfectly coordinated!!

Did I mention that all of these products (except the stamp which is on for 10% off) are on sale in the Pretties' Boutique? 75% off - yeppers - while supplies last!

Tune in next week for some more matchy matchy suggestions!!!

Have a Prettie Day!!!

The Stamp of The Month Club!!

Hi Prettie People!!!

I just wanted to do a post and talk a little about the Stamp of the Month Club from Paper Pretties!! Some of you are familiar, and subscribe, but for those that don't, I wanted to give you a look at what you are missing out on!!! The Stamp Of The Month Club is one of my most favorite aspects of Paper Pretties!!

Each month, Christie announces a new stamp (and they are ALWAYS gorgeous!!!), and this month is NO exception!! This ADORABLE Sophia is called Sending You Love, and this GAWJUS sample was made by Prettie Girl Jackie Pedro!!

When you sign up for the Stamp of The Month Club (and you can do so quite conveniently by clicking HERE!!), you get the Stamp of The Month an ENTIRE month before it is released to the gen pop (I love to say that...hehe). So now, you have to have Sending You Love don't ya? Of COURSE you do!! And you can...click here and sign up, and then you will get a new Paper Pretties stamp sent directly to you each and every month!! How AWESOME is that!!! Such an EASY way to get all your stamping friends jealous!!!

JUST A REMINDER:

You have until November 30 to sign up for the Stamp Of The Month Club in order to have Sending Your Love sent to you!! Otherwise...you have to wait an entire month before you can order her...that is just painful!!!

ONE MORE THING :)

The SUPER DUPER ULTRA FABULOUSO SALE is still going on over at Paper Pretties!!! And when I say sale, I mean SALE!! I am talking about 75% off EVERYTHING in the Paper Pretties Store (aside from Paper Pretties Stamps and Swarovski Crystals)...that's right gals...75% off!!!! Who can resist a sale like that??? I know I couldn't! You should SEE the paper, ribbon & embellies I ordered! Woo Hoo!!!

Have a Prettie Day!!!
