Tickled Pink Stamps Challenge #24 - Sketch

Another quick post to tell you about the new challenge over at Tickled Pink Stamps Challenges blog! This week's challenge (#24) is a sketch by our own lovely Emma! It was a lot of fun so we hope you'll play along! For my card I selected Lil Pinkette Faith, holding her banner. One of my co-workers has a young daughter who is sick so I decided to make it a Get Well card for her. I think I'll let my other co-workers sign it as well and maybe I'll pick up a little toy to accompany it. I've never met her, but as a mom it breaks my heart to think about how they all must feel and what they must be going through!

Those pretty papers are from a pad called Ancestry.com by K&Company. After I added some lace, pearls, and flowers from my stash I think the resulting card is sweetly vintage.

Thanks for stopping by, and I hope you'll leave a comment to say "hello"! This has been a busy week! It's already Thursday, and I find myself behind in my card making yet again. With 2 orders due tomorrow I think we all know what I'll be doing tonight. Plus Father's Day is Sunday and you don't think I've started on those, do you?! Of course not! lol

Have a fabulous day and happy crafting!! XX

Tickled Pink Stamps and Cute Card Thursday

Hey, crafty bloggers! I am just stopping by with a quick post to tell you about a fabulous challenge blog that Tickled Pink Stamps is sponsoring this week.... It's called Cute Card Thursday and their challenge this week (#169) is a color one. They would like you to use the colors of your birthstone(s). I have used Lil Pinkette August, because appropriately enough, I was born in August, and my birthstone is Peridot (green). I thought MOJO195 over at Mojo Monday was a wonderful sketch so I went with it for this card. If you would like to see what the other {PINK} Ladies who played along came up with, visit the Tickled Pink Stamps blog here.

Thanks for stopping by and have a fantastic day! XX

Lil Tom Boyz Pinkette Collection Blog Hop Release

Yippeee! It is finally time for the Lil Tom Boyz Pinkette collection from Tickled Pink Stamps to be released! And in honor of that the design team has a blog hop for you. Here are the details:

Start: June 13, 2011
Finish: June 16, 2011
Winners announced : June 17, 2011

I am the last stop on the tour so if you came from Bron's blog, you are on the right track! If not, go back to the beginning with the lovely and talented Amy to make sure you don't miss a thing! When you're done, pop over to the Tickled Pink Stamps blog and leave a comment. You know that for Kellie it's not a release unless there are prizes and commenting is how you become eligible for those fabulous goodies! Comments are always welcome on the design team members' blogs as well.... Show them some love when you can! The TPS store is currently down for maintenance, but it will be back up in a couple of days with the Lil Tom Boyz Pinkettes available for purchase as both rubber and digis! June has been declared "Digi Month" at Tickled Pink Stamps so you have until the end of the month to buy all your favorite TPS images as downloads for some instant gratification!

For my release day project I chose Lil Tom Boyz Pinkette Worker August. This is a Father's Day card that I like to call "Like Father, Like Daughter". I used some cork and also a paint swatch which I pilfered from my local Lowe's Home Improvement store. It was hard not to "girlie" it up with bling and flowers and such, but since it's for a dad I showed some restraint to keep it as masculine looking as I could.

Thanks for stopping by.... Happy Hopping! XX
