A Tickled Pink Happy Birthday!

Good Morning and Happy Sunday! It's time again for the Sundae Bar at the Paper Sundaes Challenge! What's the Sundae Bar, you ask? It's when you get to pick your Sundae Toppings for your project! You have your choice of any two or all of them from Pink, Lace, Flowers and Distressing!

Our fabulous sponsor this week is the one and only Tickled Pink Stamps! If you play along, you could win TWO Tickled Pink digis of your choice! So what are you waiting for...check this out!

I chose this oh so sweet image called Lil Birthday - Kellita (designed especially for Kelly, the owner of Tickled Pink stamps!) She's colored with Copics and her long shaped allows her to be placed perfectly into this layout which is the sketch from the Mojo Monday challenge this week!

These are also some of my favorite colors...and this BoBunny line is still hanging around in my stash! I added some pink in my flowers and attached them with a Basic Grey brad atop a BoBunny sticker. There's two of the Sundae Toppings - pink and flowers! I added some little pink and brown pearls and a another pink BG brad holding on my sentiment by Verve Stamps! The sentiment is cut using a Spellbinders labels die set. All of my edges are inked with brown for a bit of distressing!

Be sure to stop by the Paper Sundaes Challenge to see what the rest of the Design Team has to share with you! And play along for your chance to win a great prize!

Challenges:
Mojo Monday #177 - Sketch!
Tickled Pink Challenge #6 - Birthday Wishes

...how much I love you...

Hi there - just a quick post tonight to share a card with some of my favorite things. I just love pink and green together and when I saw Mona's color challenge this week, I couldn't wait to join in...and I just got these new Verve stamps and I am in love with these flowers. I cannot wait to use them on a grander scale...so versatile and perfect for any occasion!


I used the Mojo Monday sketch...which I am just making it under the wire on the deadline, but I was trying to find time all week to play with it and when I have my long week at work, time is the hardest thing to find! So, here we have some Little Yellow Bicycle papers in my favorite colors with a rich green grosgrain ribbon tied up in a bow and a great flower dotted with pink pearls in the center for a fresh and pretty card for someone I love!

Challenges:
Mojo Monday #163 - sketch
CR84FN 3 - color combination - pretty in pink and green

Thanks for stopping by!

Hope...

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and I have been touched by breast cancer in both my family and my circle of friends. This card is for my friend...a survivor...who just walked in the Walk for a Cure last weekend. I want to tell her how proud I am to have her as a friend!

My card uses a flower from Verve's One Person and the Hope circle from The Cutting Cafe's Think Pink set. The flower is colored with copics, dotted with a Queen & Co. pearl and popped up on top of the circle sentiment. I scored the paper and perfectly placed my pleats then cut them with a craft knife to shape. And what breast cancer card would be complete without a pink ribbon!

Challenges:
Mojo Monday #159 - fabulous sketch!
Moxie Fab World - Perfectly Placed Pleats
Raise the Bar #39 - Raise the BRA (pink, awareness)

Wish You Were Here...

I hope you are having a great evening! I just wanted to share this card that I made for all those Fall challenges out there right now. I have been wanting to ink up my new Flourishes stamp sets and I am so glad I chose this one to start with tonight! It's call Windows to the World and I love to color the inside of windows with that warm glow. It just feels so cozy. I am also loving this new K & Co. paper pad. The leaves, Fall colors, plaid and the swirls are right up my alley! I got this ribbon on the clearance rack too!

It's Your Birthday...Happy Birthday!

Hi there - it's my day off, but I've been so busy...making treats for a cheerleading bake sale, making locker decorations for the high school soccer team and making this card to share with you!

This card gave me a chance to play along at some of the challenges I have missed in the last few weeks. I'm lovin' this little freebie image called Bo from Tiddly Inks. Their challenge this week is to use one of their animal stamps. I colored him with my copics and then I paired it up with some great papers from my stash and paper-pieced the balloons to match! These little sentiment stamps are a couple of my faves from The Cat's Pajamas You Say It's Your Birthday set.

I used the Mojo Monday sketch, which is a miracle I got that one done in time, and I incorporated the Moxie Fab World Offset Scalloped Challenge in this one...it's not too much since it's a Boy or Man's Birthday card! My color inspiration was from Picture Perfect Creations and the plaid, stitching and stars satisfy some of the other challenges!

The Challenges:
Tiddly Inks #21 - Our Pets
Mojo Monday - Sketch #156
Picture Perfect Creations #30 - Blue, Green, Brown
The Creative Cottage #23 - Boy Birthday
Moxie Fab World - Offset Scallop Gallop
TCP Tuesday #126 - Mad for Plaid
Copic Oz #2 - Card for a Man
Stampin Royalty #37 - Stitching Madness
Little Red Wagon #46 - stars

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by! Stay tuned early next week for some very exciting news and some blog candy!

Just for you...

Hi there - just a quick post tonight...it has been a long day at work and I need to get up early tomorrow...

I love glitter and that's the theme over at the JustRite Friday Challenge 034. I could not wait to get this ornament set in the mail and it came in time! I have been thinking about glittering this up since before I ordered it! I also wanted to try to use the Mojo Monday #155 sketch. I love Julee's sketches, but I usually don't make that deadline in time...but I made sure I did this week!

Once again, sorry for the unusual poor picture quality...I can't wait to get my good camera back!

I like you...

I almost forgot to post this one...scroll down for two more posts from today...

Here is my card for the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #66. I used the very cool Mojo Monday sketch #146 and it happens to follow the colors of the 100th Color Throwdown too!

I started by embossing the green cardstock with Sizzix Damask embossing folder. I added some BoBunny double dot pink paper and some more dots in my turquoise ribbon. I used my Cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder for the ColorMates Dark Autumn Red cardstock and then touched all the raised dots that show with Stickles Xmas Red. The sentiment is from TCP Studio and is stamped in Memento tuxedo black. A Heidi Swapp cherry bling and some sheer organdy ribbon finishes it off!

The image is CC Designs Sugarplums Sweet Kiki la Rue stamped with tuxedo black and colored with copics. I just love her sweet face...don't you?! A little bling makes her headband shine and her ice cream cherry sparkle! I hope you like it!

Have a great night!
