Hi everyone! Can you tell I'm really digging the Clean and Simple lately? I have a SUPER CRAZY week so I really love taking the pressure off of myself to design a card that takes hours by using the CAS challenges that are all over the blogging world!
I used a very neglected set from Paper Pretties called Look Who's Perky? I also used two challenges to make this card: today's Clean and Simple challenge from Splitcoaststampers to use the paper piecing technique on your card and Fall To Layout #47 from the Clean and Simple Blog. The hardest part of this card was deciding what colors to use! The teapot is paper pieced with DP from Papertrey called Friends 'Til The End. It was framed in Nestabilities. The Hibuscus Burst scallop border was done with a scallop edge punch.
Important news from the Paper Pretties blog, The Paper Clip:
This week marks the beginning of something super fun here at The Paper Clip!! Each month, the four cards chosen as the Prettie Card of the Week will be entered into a contest and the winner will receive a $5.00 Gift Certificate to the Prettie Boutique!!

So, if you want a shot at having the Prettie Card of the Week, and the chance to win the $5.00 Gift Certificate, you MUST upload your card to the Paper Pretties Gallery!
