Preview Day Four with Lil Tom Boyz Pinkette Bobbi



It's Day Four of the previews of Tickled Pink Stamps' new Lil Tom Boyz Pinkette collection! It's also time for a new TPS challenge! So I've combined the two and made a card featuring new image Truckie Bobbi and using texture for challenge #23. You can't really tell from my photo, but the diamond plate designer paper is embossed. I also added denim fabric from an old pair of my son's jeans. He had outgrown them and they had holes in the knees so I couldn't give them to anyone else. But they were perfect for my creation! I also used the snap as my flower center. I love recycling!

SO back to Bobbie... Isn't she a sweetie?! She also has some holes in her jeans that have been patched. She has her toy truck, and she is ready to go places! And of course, YOU'LL want to go to the Tickled Pink Stamps blog so you can see the other wonderful projects the design team has created for the preview! And if you leave a comment there you'll be eligible to win Bobbie for yourself!

My layout is courtesy of Tuesday Morning Sketches (Sketch #97). It was a fun one to work with!

I hope everyone has a fabulous day! It's supposed to be close to 100 degrees here and humid so I'll be trying to stay cool. Thank goodness I can go from air conditioned apartment to air conditioned car to air conditioned office and then vice versa! :) Let's just hope the thunderstorms they are predicting today are nothing like the crazy storms we got hit with a week ago!

Thanks for taking a peek and happy crafting!

Preview Day Three with Lil Tom Boyz Pinkette August



Welcome to day three of Tickled Pink Stamps' Lil Tom Boyz Pinkette previews... Today we have sweet August for you! She is too busy wood-working to be worried about playing house! Look at the pencil tucked into her hair? Isn't she just darling? As you can tell, I do have a particular fondness for this Pinkette. Maybe it's because her name is my birth month. Or perhaps she reminds me of my younger self. And though I'm not skilled with hammer, nail or saw, I do use tools of a different sort to create when I'm crafting.

You will want to make sure to get over to the TPS blog to check out all the other preview creations from the amazing Pink and Pinkette ladies! As always, Kellie has a fabulous giveaway and all you have to do it leave a comment over there to be eligible.

For my card, I started with SSSC120 from Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge as my base design. I've had the paper in my stash for a while now and knew it was perfect. It was interesting trying to create a "pretty" card that wasn't overly "girlie". The measuring tape ribbon I snagged from one of the chain craft stores that I frequent (there are 3 in my area, all of which I can hit on the way from work to home. Dangerous! lol). Somewhere along the way I decided that real sandpaper would be a fantastic idea so I used my Classic Circle Nesties to cut them from a Tim Holtz refill for his sanding block. A few flowers, a little bit of lace and a touch of bling later and I was done.

As always, thanks for looking! I hope you will leave a comment so I know you have visited. I do love and appreciate each and every one of them! I hope you enjoy your day.... It's going to be a hot one here with temperatures in the 90s (and they are saying it could reach 100 tomorrow! Not typical for New England in June.). Some people like this weather, but I'll be enjoying the AC, thank you! :) Until next time... Happy crafting!

Preview Day Two with Lil Tom Boyz Pinkette Faith



I am pleased as punch to be back with Day Two of Tickled Pink Stamps' Lil Tom Boyz Pinkette preview. Today we are showcasing rough and tumble, cutie patootie Faith. She'd rather play in the mud than play with make-up. There are six images total in this release, and trust me when I say you aren't going to want to miss any of them! Kellie at TPS and artist Stephanie Corfee have really outdone themselves!

My layout is based on SS-158 from Sketch Saturday. I printed off a vintage recipe card that I found on-line and layered it with Red Riding Hood and Very Vanilla card stock for the layer behind my image. I thought Faith would want to share her recipe for Mud Piez with you! :) And the little wooden rolling pin was a Michaels purchase picked up with this card in mind.

Be sure to visit the Tickled Pink Stamps blog to see what wonderful creations the rest of the design team has cooked up with Faith... And leave a comment there for a chance to win Faith for yourself!

Thanks for taking a peek! Have a wonderful day!

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!

The Corrosive Challenge #119 - Summer Colours



Sunday brings with it a new Corrosive Challenge! Yup, it's that time again! This week, challenge #119 is to use Summer Colors in your project. Though Summer won't officially start here until a few more weeks, we've already had days that have felt like it's arrived. Soon enough we will be running through sprinklers and chasing after ice cream trucks...

For my card, I used a image from one of our two sponsors for the month of June. This is Well Wishers from Paper Pretties. They sell a combination of digital and rubber stamps. Mine is a digi that was generously provided to the design team. I colored it with Copics and Prismacolor Art Markers. The patterned paper is The Pets stack from DCWV. My sketch is #62 from Sketch n Stash. It is my first time playing along on this blog, and if all their challenges are this fun it definitely won't be the last! For the "stash" part, I am supposed to list what I used that was new and/or from my stash. Here my image is new and the paper, flowers, and ric rac are all from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to come back as this week will be full of sneak peeks! Enjoy your day!

Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge #22



Hello everyone! Sorry for the late post on this one today. A lingering sore throat, those massive storms yesterday and too much to do with too little time seem to have gotten me all fouled up! But here I am, none-the-less, with my Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge for the week! This week - Anything Goes!!!! So as long as you use one of the TPS lines (Lil Lolitas and Lil Lads, Pinkettes, Pink Pets, or Cherrie, all found here) you can let your imagination roam wild and free on this one! I opted to incorporate sketch #37 from CLP into my creation. And it is being sponsored by Tickled Pink Stamps this month, as a matter of fact! Also being sponsored by TPS is Paper Sundaes. Their challenge #71 is Vintage/Shabby Chic. So I'll play along there as well. My image is Lil Allsorts Fairy Kira, and I just think she is amazing - so full of sass! This is my second card using her, and I have a feeling there will be more!

I am going to keep this one short and sweet so maybe I can get to bed at a decent hour tonight... lol Thanks for taking a peek and I hope that you'll join in the fun over at the TPS challenge blog for your chance to win 1 rubber stamp OR 2 digital stamps of your choice! Happy crafting!
