October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. I'm here to tell you about a special release from Tickled Pink Stamps. This is Charity, a Pink Ribbon Lil Pinkette. She will be available in the Tickled Pink Stamps online store as of October 4th. She's only going to be available for a limited time, and for the month of October she will just be $1, with all proceeds being donated to Pink Ribbon Day. Hope, along with Pink Ribbon Lil Pinkette Hope, who we previewed yesterday, and Lil Lolita Lilith (plus matching sentiments) will all be raising money for this worthy cause.
I've used Sketch #7 (Erica's sketch) from Pink {INK} Sketch Challenges as the layout for my card. I hope you will head over to the TPS blog to see what the other {PINK}ette gals have created for you!
Thanks for visiting and have a fabulous day! Think {PINK}!!!

Hello and welcome to another Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge! Challenge #38 is "Pick Your Combo"! You can choose from the following:
1) Buttons and Twine
2) Lace and Patterned Paper
3) Chipboard and Distressing
I opted for buttons and twine for my creation. I used my new Graphic 45 Hallowe'en in Wonderland designer paper and super sweet Lil Little Ivy who is all dressed up like Alice. My layout is the current sketch (#6 - Kylie's sketch) from Pink {Ink} Sketches. It's been a stressful week in my personal life so it was nice to escape to land of make believe and crafting for this project. I think of my card making as a sort of therapy... Although sometimes I wonder if an actual therapist might be cheaper! lol
So if you'd like your chance to win 1 rubber or 2 digital TPS stamps of your choice we encourage you to play along! Remember, you MUST use a Tickled Pink Stamps image to participate. These include the Lil Lolitas and Lil Lads, Lil Pinkettes, Pink Pets, and Cherrie.
Hope everyone is having a fabulous day, and I can't wait to see which combo you choose!

Welcome to Day 1 of the Tickled Pink Stamps Lil Christmas Pinkette previews! Today we have Lil Christmas Pinkette Coraline and her mistletoe to share with you! Artist Stephanie Corfee has given us a new batch of holiday cuties and you aren't going to want to miss a single one of the sweet holiday girls!
For my card I used the current sketch (Sketch #5 - Kristy's sketch) at Pink {INK} Sketch Challenges. Papers are a beautiful collection from Stampin' Up, now retired, called Holiday Treasures. Coraline is colored with Copics and Prismacolor Art Markers. I kept embellishments to a minimum, just some flowers and pearls flourishes. The sentiment is from the Pink Christmas Sentiments set, also from Tickled Pink Stamps. I thought it was perfect!
You'll want to pop over to the Tickled Pink Stamps blog to see what the other lovely and talented {Pink} gals have created for you! And don't forget to leave a comment there for a chance to win the image for your very own! As usual it's not a preview and release unless our gorgeous and generous leader Kellie has prizes to give away!
Thanks for stopping by and hope you are having a fabulous week so far! Be sure to come back later in the week as I will have more TPS previews as well as a sneak peek of the Sassy Studio Designs 2011 Halloween collection, being released on September 17th.

So far this summer on the East coast we have had tornadoes and an earthquake and now a hurricane is bearing down on us! I am convinced it is a sign of the coming apocalypse and am preparing for the zombie invasion! As such, my card for this week's Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge features the ghoulish version of Lil Fashionette 80s Sookie! She is of, course doing karaoke because "Ghouls just wanna have fun...."! I thought she was the perfect image for this week's challenge which is to use SHEET MUSIC. Mine is in the background, but it is there. It's designer paper from the fabulous new 6x6 pad I bought called Authentique - Glowing. Sookie is colored with Copics and Prismacolor Art Markers and popped up above the amazing new Pink {Ink} Sketch (#4) designed by Cheri (aka Graphicat).
You will want to head over to the TPSC blog to see what the rest of the talented {PINK} challenge ladies have created for this challenge! And if you want to play along, you have all week. Just remember you must use a Tickled Pink Stamps image (Lil Lolitas and Lil Lads, Lil Pinkettes, Pink Pets, or Cherrie - all available here in the TPS shop) to join in the fun!
Thanks for looking and I love reading your comments! I truly appreciate you taking the time to leave them!

I couldn't be more excited, except if Halloween were actually here! We are in the midst of previewing the new images from Tickled Pink Stamps for the August release! The Spinks and Spooks collection consists of 2 Lolitas, 2 Lads, and 4 Pinkettes (two of which are boys!) and they are ALL Halloween themed!!! Woo Hoo!
As a member of the Pinkette design team I have the honor of debuting to you Lil Pinkette Haunting Fairy Coraline! Isn't she the sweetest in her fairy costume?!?! You WILL want to take a peek at the Tickled Pink Stamps blog to see all the exquisite creations my fellow {Pink}ettes have created! Plus there are prizes to be won! That's right... All you have to do is leave a comment on the TPS blog for your chance to win Fairy Coraline for your very own! While you're at it, check out the other 3 amazing images that have already been previewed: Lil Haunts 2 Zombie Kellita, Lil Pinkette Haunting Robot Timmy, and Lil Haunts 2 Wizard Eric!
I have used the current sketch (#3) from Pink {Ink} Sketch Challenges for my card front layout. I decided to make an easel card because I love them so and thought it would be the cool thing to do. Plus I adore this gorgeous paper from My Mind's Eye and wanted you to be able to see it. My image is colored with Copics and Prismacolor Markers, and her wings have a light coating of Martha Stewart glow-in-the-dark glitter on them. I haven't tested it to see if it really does glow, but even if it doesn't, it adds nice little shimmer to her. I embellished with lace, flowers, Dew Drops, a glitter chipboard flourish from my stash and a Halloween brad.
I had so much fun making this! I know it's only August, but I brought out all my Halloween crafting supplies, and I will be making more Halloween cards ASAP! As a matter of fact, I will be back later this week with yet another Tickled Pink Stamps preview! Thank you for stopping by today and all of your lovely comments are truly appreciated! Hope you have a fabulous day!

Christmas is in the air today even if it is the first day of August! I'm back with another holiday card, this time for Tickled Pink Stamps Challenges Christmas Challenge. This month we are looking for embossing on your projects. It could be dry embossing or heat embossing. Either or both is fine and the choice it up to you! Heat embossing has never been one of my favorites so I decided to use dry embossing. My trusty Cuttlebug gets lots of use with my collection of embossing folders so I selected the snowflake one for the die cut mat behind my image. I also used a snowflake border punch by Fiskars that has an embossed element.
My image is Lil Christmas Frankie from Tickled Pink Stamps. He's clearly an elf, but he reminds me of Jack Frost too for some reason. I colored him with my Copics and Prismacolor Art Markers and fussy cut him before using 3D dots to adhere him to my card. Of course I had to add some bling and some hardware and couldn't resist a punched snowflake with a mulberry paper rose center.
You have all month to play along with the Christmas challenge. This challenge is ONLY for Tickled Pink Stamps images. Those include Lil Lolitas and Lil Lads, Lil Pinkettes, Pink Pets, and Cherrie. The prize is 2 rubber or 4 digital TPS images of your choice! Feeling in the Christmasy mood now? lol
My layout is the 2nd Pink {Ink} Sketch Challenge by the fabulous Kellie Winnell. This is a brand new challenge which started last month. Kellie is also sponsoring the challenge this fortnight so as owner of Tickled Pink Stamps she has a fabulous prize for the sketch winner - 3 rubber or digital images of your choice PLUS a sentiment set and matching die! How amazing is that?! This challenge is open to images of all brands. If you'd like to join in the fun, Sketch #2 can be found here.
Wish me luck staying awake today. I was up far to late with my crafty doings, and I may need extra caffeine to make it through! I have a very busy week in front of me so stay tuned for more projects from both TPS and SSD! Thanks for stopping by.... I appreciate the visit and all comments are gratefully received!

Well, I'm back with post #2 for the day! I am swamped with crafting the next few days! I'm not sure how I'm going to fit it all in, but somehow I always manage it seems. If only I didn't have to work... But I know I'm lucky to have my job with the state of the economy! So short of winning the lottery (which I almost never play) or receiving a huge inheritance from some long lost relative (which I'm pretty sure won't happen), I need to work to support my crafting addiction! lol
Enough wishing I were independently wealthy (don't we all?).... Here is my card for this week's Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge. The theme is "cute and add a butterfly". So I added two (punched ones ala Martha Stewart) plus, though you'd never know it since you can't see it now with all my embellies piled on top of it, there are butterflies on 2 of my designer papers. The lovely creature perched on the bird cage is the new Lil Little Lolita Kellita! Isn't she precious? She is one of six new images from the Lil Little collection now available at Tickled Pink Stamps! There is even a witty digital sentiment set from the talented Cheri to go along with them! I prefer digi so I have to wait until Digi Days begin on the 15th (which is actually today at 10am for me since TPS is located in Australia). So, okay, I need to wait for pay day on the 15th. How's that?
Kellita is colored with Copics and popped up on 3D dots over the Tim Holtz Caged Bird die cut. I have had this months and this is the first time I've used it. When I saw the Kellita image I thought they would be perfect together!
My sketch is from the brand new, just launched Pink {INK} Sketch Challenge and I'm very excited about this! Sketches are my favorite kind of challenge and to know that this one is being run by the amazing {PINK} ladies gives me goosebumps! There will be a new sketch every fortnight. You still have a little less than a week to play along with this one.
Now on to my big news.... I just found out last night that I have been asked to stay on at Tickled Pink Stamps Challenges as a designer team member for an additional six month term!!! I am thrilled, and in fact I even did a happy dance last night when Kellie e-mailed me with the news! I can't begin to tell you how it feels be included with this wonderful, talented group! So you will be seeing more Lolitas and Lads as well as Pinkettes and who wouldn't be tickled pink about that?!
I hope you have enjoyed today's creations and that you are having a fantastic week! Thanks for stopping by and if you feel like leaving some love on my blog, I thank you in advance. (Yes, I will shamelessly beg for attention! lol) Enjoy your day!
