A Preview and some Whatnots!

Today's post is long, but it is filled with lots of important info so please keep reading!

It is a busy week around here!  We've got November release previews (today-Thursday), we're sponsoring the CPS challenge blog, we have a fun challenge for you on Wednesday, we have an AWESOME blog hop scheduled for Friday filled with inspiration and some FABULOUS guest blog hopper... AND we have 4 FABULOUS Monday Whatnot digis for you today!  Phew...I'm tired just typing it all out, LOL!

So let's get started today with our Paper Pretties Monday Whatnots!  ARTish drew some absolutely wonderful images for us this week!  We are switching gears a little this week and hanging up our Christmas images for some Valentine's images.  This switch is in honor of the Operation Write Home Stars and Stamps Valentine's Blog Hop.  Operation Write Home is an absolutely wonderful group that
supports our nation's armed forces by sending them blank greeting cards to write home on, as well as cards of gratitude to encourage them.   Because of shipping deadlines, OWH has ended their call for Christmas cards and are now looking for Valentine's Day cards!  The OWH blog is sponsoring a Valentine's Blog hop this Saturday!  There is still time to sign up to be a part of the hop if you are interested.  You can find all of the blog hop info HERE.  If you are interested in donating cards to OWH, please read all of their submission guidelines HERE.  Paper Pretties is proud to be a part of Saturday's blog hop.  We will be giving away blog candy at our stop on the hop so you'll definitely want to stop on by!.

So...now for today's Whatnot images:

Wishcraft!  Congrats! Please send me an email at hlrcrafts at hotmail dot com with your mailing addy and I will get your stamp set sent out right away!

It is the first Wednesday of the month which means a FANTASTIC sketch challenge from the talented Frances Byrne!   We'd love for you to play along. One random challenge participant this week will win the Paper Pretties set "Snowy Snuggles".
