First I want to apologize for the length of this post. With that out of the way...it's time to CELEBRATE!!! Happy Birthday Papertake Weekly! PTW is three years old today, and we are celebrating in a big way with a blog hop along with lots of FABULOUS PRIZES!  So if you made your way here from my friend, and oh so amazingly talented Nancy, then you're on the right track. If not, believe me, you want to go back to the beginning at Dawny's so you don't miss out on any of this! Dawny has compiled an extensive and impressive list of prizes to given away for the birthday celebration.  Please be patient and read all the way through this long post so you can see all the details along with the list of sponsors for our Birthday.  Dawny is making it very easy on you with this weeks challenge. She is allowing you to choose ANY previous Papertake Weekly challenge. That's THREE YEARS of challenges you have to choose from!! I chose to use "In Stitches" from June 29th, 2010.  This challenge asks for stitching of any kind, machine, hand, faux, we're not particular as long as it's stitching.

For my card, I am sneak peeking a gorgeous new fairy called Laila from Wags 'n Whiskers! This brand new collection is getting sneak peeks on Wednesday and Thursday this week, and then it will culminate in a blog hop on Friday. So stay tuned for more looks at these gorgeous new stamps that will be available for purchase on Friday!


I put a list of supplies at the end of this post.  So how about the info for the fun stuff now!  Here's a list of the fabulous prizes Dawny has gathered.  I will be giving away an awesome prize of a $20.00 gift certificate from the fabulous and generous Simon Says Stamp!!
