Preview Day One with Lil Pinkette Tom Boyz Coraline

Oh, BOY, am I excited!!! "Why" you ask... Well, the answer to that question is two part. First, I am thrilled to announce that I have been chosen as one of the design team members for the new Pinkette design team at Tickled Pink Stamps!!! I was over the moon when I found out and my excitement has not abated as we prepare for a blog hop and a new release on June 12th here (June 13th in Australia, where TPS is located). You can view the announcement about the new design team here. I am honored for the opportunity to work with the talented ladies who are my teammates! Be sure to visit them as well, with love and congratulations!

The other reason for my excitement is the fabulous images that I get to play with! Just wait until you see them all and you will understand! And I am beyond happy to be able to share them with you... Today is preview #1, and it gives me pleasure to introduce to you a new Pinkette collection called Tom Boyz. This for all those girls out there who would rather muddy it up in the sand box than play with a doll. Here we have Coraline; she has decided her play time will involve rounding up some bugs. Isn't she adorable? I've had that lady bug paper in my stash for a few months and knew as soon as I saw her that I was going to have to use it! My sketch is based on SSS111 from The Sweet Stop.

Of course, you'll want to pop on over to the TPS blog to see the rest of the design team members' marvelous creations! And be sure to stop back throughout the week as I am hoping to have a new sneak peek for you each day as we countdown to the release.

Thanks for taking a look, and I hope your day is fabulous!
